Id be interested to know more about why the Coolant Bypass is not a good idea?


here is what ive gone through so far with it...

I and many other people have tested with and with out it with a temp gauge designed to read temp off a CPU it's a high heat type one...

Tryed at Idle with and with out we saw after the engine was up to temp 80Degrees Celsius Diffrence

Runing temp diffrence was only 65 Degreese diffrent i'm guessing b/c of the Cold air intake...

Also i live in Canada and there is a Risk of Freezeing the Butterfly open (wide open Throttle) Or CLosed Throttel However i have not experianced any Freezing issues....

as for Bypassing the Coolant which is bypassing aprox 350ml of Volume which did raise up the Coolant in the fill jar but did not go over max ... the New Hose going from the engine back to the enigne is made for a U shape and is not Kinked at all. hmm what other things are there or could there be problems with.... hmmm

All i know is the Temp diffrent in the Throttle body and INtake Manfiold is Enough to make a Diffrence in air intake Temps there is one person on www.newtiburon.com who dyno'ed his car with and with out and is not sure if it was an annomoely from run to run but he figured the mod is worth .5whp now honestly i dont know i'm not gona Claim more or less or anything but I know it does keep the air Temps down and when you have Cooler air you have Dencer and and Dencer air is = to more HP + the Coolent Bypass is a very OLD Skool thing and if they did it with Musscle cars why not do it with our cars...

But i'm still intrested in hearing back from ya... not sure if we should start a new post or just keep useing this one the call is up to you
