Thank you for your business! Thats great. Yes they are great mods to do!

Did this on my 87 TA. Did some before and after temps, after a 30 minute drive the throttle body was 20-30 degrees cooler and the runners were around 10 degrees cooler.

Thats Cool. That was a good idea.

I was watching a guy couple years back on KZread that did a homemade bypass and the way he did it was he use the two-way valve and a t connection on the other end so that during the summer months he could turn the valve to where it would bypass the intake and during the summer, then turn the valve the other direction for winter driving. I wish I had thought to save the video, he did a good job and it looked good. The two way valve and T connector were brass so they should last.

My '89 doesn't have the metal line where the straight piece of the bypass kit connects too?? mine's all heater hose from throttle body to firewall!! looks like I'm going to need to put a union in after all :( ... your videos kick a$$!! don't get me wrong..i ordered the hose, without visually looking at mine... Ohhh well.. still going to be cleaner!!!! Keep'em coming!!!

Why even run a new connecting hose? Is it actually needed? Why not just have 4 capped off connectors?

It's piping the coolant directly into the block (or from the block , I'm not entirely sure which way that coolant is running).

How expensive are the replacement electronics for the c4 cars, ik the 92 to 94 ecms have connector pin issues, buy I like the l98 cars so, I'm looking for a 90 to 91 convertible, any advice when it comes to this issue would be great thanks

Does the temp sensor you replaced have anything to do with the pcm turning the cooling fans on and off? And is there a coolant temp sensor that would turn them on earlier as mine doesn't seem to come on at all! Lol so I just ran a switch to the fan relays beside the upper drivers side rad and into the drivers compartment where I can manually control the cooling fans when I see it getting anywhere above 3/8's..

@anthonyciarrocca2476

The pcm controls the temp at which the fan turns on. However, if you have the auxiliary fan located in front of the radiator, you can get a temp sender that will turn that one on at a st temperature. I bought one on eBay to control that. I also purchased a prom that turns the main fan on at 180. The 160 degree thermostat will open sooner. However, if it’s cold outside and you are driving at a decent clip, you will maintain a cooler running engine. If your cooling system very efficient, your engine may stay at 160. Once you idle down, the engine will warm up to whatever the fan is set to turn on. I hope that helps

Your kit says for corvette. I’m sure it will work for a 305 tpi in a camaro right? It’s the same engine correct?

Does that hose work for 95 Vette lt1

Do you know how to pull the overdrive relay and where it’s located? Mine turns on and off and I have a feeling Bc of this, it has caused problems at idle. When car in neutral it’s clunking but when pushing in clutch it goes away. Anyone answers lmk, haven’t found much on old forum threads

I also relocated the air temp sensor up to before the throttle body and that sensor is in the plenum by the EGR valve. EDIT: I should say I deleted that EGR too. 1985 and doesn't make the check engine light come on.

the advantage is you delete alot of junk hose and fittings to clean up under the hood . But this delete does not do that the hose and junk is still there. Do it right with the TPIS delete housing for the throttle body. Its a direct bolt-on. But If you live in Alaska or Iceland warming the throttle body with hot water makes sense.

@yourewrong4399

Жыл бұрын

As I understand it, the throttle body coolant hose takes the warm coolant directly from the engine as it is at the end of the coolant loop and thus the warmest part, therefore warming the throttlebody and air going through it. Colder air has more oxygen, so bypassing this coolant line keeps the throttle body colder and makes the engine run better; more power. I'm not sure about how to add the plugs.

@rotorblade9508

at WOT the engines sucks air at like 200cfm I don’t think it has time to warm up from the TB even though it warms up the entire manifold. But the car seems to heat soak for some reason

Mopar actually uses the ac on at least some of their 707 hp engines for an intercooler. However on a N/A motor you will likely lose more hp to parasitic loss from the ac than you'll gain from the colder air.

If you changed the thermostat, your running temp may be lower than what it was before, hence the heater core won't be as hot as it was before. I think 160 is too low, I opted for a 175F therm just for this reason.

Did you change the thermostat because it's needed fot this mod or just because you were working near it?

@coltonbelvin2820

Its not needed necessarily but most people run cooler thermostats to help them not run so hot

@Polydeukes68

@@coltonbelvin2820 Cooler thermostat doesn't actually make your car run cooler. It just opens earlier and makes your motor rise to operational temp slower. It does regulate the heat going up and down though. Eventually your motor will heat up to what it will no matter of the thermostat. Too cool of a thermostat also effects how quickly the car will go into a closed loop operation (ie. start adjusting fuel mix with sensors instead of running from a preset table).A stock thermostat is 192°, IMO a 180° is a good compromise - not too cool but opens little earlier. The cooling system as whole will determine the max temp the motor reaches. Clean system, especially the radiator and working fans are the most important things. You can lower fan turn on temps by installing a low temp fan switch or programming the ECM. These things work a bit different in early C4's vs. later models.

Is it self bleeding? My mechanic wanted $250 for a bypass job!
