I searched around on board tracker and was unable to find a write up for the 5th gen on doing this mod.

There is a line going in one side of the TB and then there is another line coming out of the TB. Do I just remove both of them from the TB and connect them together? If so what do I do about the the open pipes on the TB now? Do I just cap them off?

absoundlab

anyone?.....

P. Samson

You don't have to cap off the TB. Why are you deleting the TB heat? You CAN have TB icing in Georgia........ and the amount of heat added to the intake air by the coolant flowing through the TB doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

splice the two hoses together, don;t worry about capping the pipes off

Didnt know anyone in the maxima community did this. I know its common to do on a bunch of other engines though.

absoundlab

by any change does anyone have a write up on this?

i know people who did this to my old engine... ka24de it is absolutely pointless. you are better off spending the money on 3 gallons of coolant and a thermostat and doing that instead. it changes the temperature only a few degrees.

I have had this done for months and months, down to single digit (*F) temps and it's still fine.

P. Samson

TB icing is unlikely at single digit temps because there usually is not enough moisture in the air. It usually occurs between about 34 to maybe 40 deg. F. and some humidity.

This past week we had a massive winter storm, blizzard like conditions, temps in the mid 20's with 100% humidity.

looking at the picture shuls answer all questions....

I connected them together with a straight through 'adapter'. Left the lines 'open'.

If it wont freeze in temps in the 20's w/ 100% humidity after sitting for over 8 hours, you wont have a problem in S FL.

absoundlab

alright thank you for the info also what do you think the gains are>?

NmexMAX

iTrader: (22)

None if any.

absoundlab

so then why should i do it?

Because you keep asking about it. See what it does for you.

Sorry to dig up this thread guys, what exactly do you cap off the coolant lines with?

is it 1/4" inner and 1/2" outter diameter?

I want to know this before I hit up the auto parts store. Thanks!

absoundlab

I used a 1/2 inch connector

Thanks for the info so far, but does anyone have a picture of the 2 lines that need to be "spliced" together? Where did you guys find the adapter to connect the lines together?

MaximumPower01

I just did my throttle body bypass about 3 weeks ago.....

but I didnt do any splicing or use any connectors, though...I just ran a 5/16 hose from one end to the other, clamped them off, and capped off the TB

Fairly easy mod, although the clamps are a pain in the *** to get to, if you are impatient, like me...


Good mod for very little money, IMO!

thanks boys. I got it to work.

I took out the whole MF'in module (EGR + Coolant) that attaches to the block.

Why do it, waist of time and money. No performance gains. And even is you did gain 1-2 hp you qouldn't even notice it. A tail wind would give you more noticed performance.

absoundlab

how is it a waste of money? If you are that cheap so be it but to do this mod it will cost you $2.13 so if you cant afford it let me know and I will send you the money. And it took me all of 5 mins to do.

I think i read in the 4th gen stickies something about where doing this has negative effects on the TB as far as it sticking or something... I plan on doing this on nights when i go out to the track and nights when i go out for fun

absoundlab

It something you just do and leave it. It will get to be too much of a pain in the a$$ to do it and then undo it all the time.

Just wondering.. what is the point of this mod? If it doesn't cool the air significantly enough to notice, and there isn't really any other reason to do it, why risk even the slightest possibility of TB freezing?

absoundlab

if you live in the south where it is hot its like why not do it

IloveVQ

iTrader: (1)

Got it. Sounds fair. I just don't think ill do it since i live in minnesota. There are always a few weeks like this one where it actually doesnt really get above zero... at all. i know it usually happens around 32 but just dont wanna risk it. cool mod though

FYI All 5.0 gen owners. Don't disconnect the EGR/TB coolant module. Your car cannot go over 3000 rpm without it...

Don't ask how i know.

absoundlab

this information isnt true. i've done the mod on my car and it is fine. please do no post false information. this may have happened to your car but this doesnt mean it will happen to EVERY 5th gen

MaxBoost925

iTrader: (33)

um. who has more experience on this forum cousin?

i disconnected mine as well as my secondary o2 sensors.

the EGR module was the culprit for not going above 3000rpm.

absoundlab

umm I would say I do.

im sorry you don't know what you are doing.

Didn't you see? +8 HP!!! according to some guy on ebay, since it is on ebay it must be true! Yet another example of how Nissan is screwing us on the HP numbers! Hahaha. (Read with extreme sarcasm).
