Thank you.

 

Wouldn't the TB get icing though, after all, thats the coolants purpose no?

 

^its arleady been stated in post 10 3 years ago that it keeps the tb from icing in the winter. and what was the point of bumping up this thread? no offense but im just curious as to why youd ask a question like this...

 

Because they just said you don't need to replace them for the winter about 3 posts up. Now why would you need them at all if you don't have to replace them in the winter, if thats what they were supposed to be there for?

 

It's more difficult to plug a hose barbed end(in the case where you wouldn't need them at all, elminating them completely, as you said) than it is to 'splice' the 2 lines with a single straight through barb.

 

Do they make a Y-splitter with a valve built in? Thinking about the valve idea said before, could you put a y splitter valve on the inlet side, have one go to the tb and the other in a bypass route, on the outlet just a normal Y splitter. This way you could direct the flow through the TB or around with the flip of the valve.

 

No Y here, if anything it's shaped like an "I".

Ok, have the option for a y and have coolant feeding through whenever you want ...

Making something this simple more involved than it has to be.


If mine hasn't frozen, your wont.

 

thats all i needed, i was just concerned with the freezing thats why. Thank you, see a simple answer will shut me up, must of the time

 

my car doesnt even get to the halfway mark...if you gauge properly IT looks as if it doesnt even go pas the quater mark.......and this is even after long driving...

 

It reaches oeprating temp @ ~ 160*F, (that's operating temp for the ECU, and also when the the needle stops 'moving'). And does not move until it's 10-15+*F above 200*F. So take what that needle gives you with 2 grains of salt.

 

Do you happen to know the diameter of these lines?

 

Can't recall at the moment, it's been months, I bought the wrong size at first, but hell, @ 68 cents per, oh well. Why not measure them prior to installing/buying, that's what i did after I bought the wrong stuff.

 

i dont think any of this would make a difference.

 

I never said I did/would, nor did any one else. Hence why I stated that some members were/are making a bigger deal about it than necassary.

 

Sounds good got any pics?

 

I was looking under my hood today at the tb and I can see where the hose is coming from the block and going into the tb but to me it looks like the line coming out is going into the EGR valve is this true or does this unit that I am seeing just look like an EGR valve?
