Anyone bypass throttle body coolant lines?

[m3f_DwebMasta]

glad i have your permission.. its just that kind of attidude. that i dont get... i was just making a fairly true statement...

you also have my permission



true statement or not... you are a n00b to this forum and should respect it



comments like 'most threads on this forum deliver nothing' are not cool

[m3f_badgtho]

you are a n00b to this forum and should respect it

lol.. good point. (even for someone with a Lux)

[m3f_OahuMPower]

most dont on this forum... its sad...

+1 with everyone else... then leave

this question has been answered several times. this thread should be done.



in case the OP missed it or i wasn't clear enough the first time i said it....its a pointless mod...don't bother. in the same amount of time you would be doing this, you could remove your CDV.......do that instead.



It is going to the same temperature regardless if it has the coolant line or not. The throttle body will gain the same if not more heat from contact with the manifold, than it would with the coolant line. so once and for all. don't do it...seriously. All this physics talk means absolutely nothing in this case, but nice try. and it doesn't take an engineer to figure this out either, so people using that excuse...nice try too. But if it makes you feel better about yourself that you can copy and paste from wiki or read your physics book than congrats.

haha did you just repeat yourself like 3 times already.

Mine's the 150HP version, I plan for 8gal/hour. The 100HP version is closer to 5gal/hour. They are simple airplanes, once in shape, running costs are pretty low. I had one annual that was $200.

lol 200!! thats ridiculous! I'd like a straight tail 182 with the western skyways conversion. Just so i can load up with 1000 pounds of stuff and fly for 7 hours. I'd love something with boots since i do a lot of IFR but then you're getting into some serious money lol

my dad had a '53 180 for years. Awesome aircraft, 4 people, 4 bags, full tanks, and it will fly 1000nm.

I love 180's but insurance on a tail dragger for me would be high since i don't have much time in one. They do look a lot sexier than a 182 though.

You rock!



I never landed as well as I did when flying gliders, nothing like "no second chances" to focus the mind!



Keep thinking I should get back into flying. I got tired of paying $150/hr for a 152 which was the airborne equivalent of a Ford Fairmont. Lucked out when I was stationed on a carrier (USS Constellation) and got a few hours in the right seat of an S-3. That was cool!

Very nice! $150 for a 152 is outrageous. I used to rent a decent shape 172 for $98 wet. Its definitely never too late to get back in the cockpit and i've done a lot of fun refresh flights with guys who've been out of the game for awhile. The only dilemma comes when it takes away from car money

2 landings are never the same in a tail dragger.

You would ice up if you sit in idling traffic on cold humid days, common in New England. You must not idle too long and you got lucky.

No Sir.

Not even if the block and head are stone cold.


It is merely an emissions device to assist in more quickly warming up the intake charge.

A slight aid in getting the car into closed loop running so that it can meet emissions more quickly.


The throttle valves in cars with carbs (short intake lengths) tend to suffer the freezing issue. And it has to be in a cold engine with high throttle opening.

Very doubtful on an emission mapped fuel injected car of today with a single throttle valve behind a long intake path.

sweet…. fresh meat…lol should I fan delete also?….that will give me .0000005 hp right?

Are you all morons?



The function of the lines to the TB is to keep ice from forming on the throttle plate and bore at small throttle openings on cool humid days. There is a thermostat in the airbox that only allows coolant to flow at lower temps. Above 50F there is no coolant flowing.



There is absolutely no point in removing the lines.



At 3000 RPM, the engine is ingesting 4500L or 476.5 ft^3 of air per min or 7.9 Ft^3/sec. ( every 2 revs the engine makes 1 complete induction cycle)The throttle bore is what 64.5mm? so that's air is moving at what? 224Ft/sec... How much heat do you think the bulk fluid of air is going to pick up? (yes, I'm pretty sure I did all the proper conversions) Answer, about none...



You car will be faster if you got your azz on a treadmill and lost 1 lb...lol



Ok, I'm done now...lol
