What r the benifits of doing the trotle body coolant bypass
what does it help on if at all
Thx

Performance wise no it doesn't do a thing. Does it hurt anything? Only if you live in northern Canada. I've run without any coolant lines to my TB or IACV for 5 years on all of my CRX's and Civics. Just makes it easier to remove the throttle body quickly. The coolant lines are only there to keep things from freezing shut.

honda has an engine coolant feed thru the throttle body to keep it from freezing shut in cold weather. the problem, is that when the engine is up to normal temperature, the coolant is quite hot, and helps to increase the temperatue of the incoming air. if you live in cold climates and drive in the winter, leave it connected. i really doubt how much this really helps on a d-series. i'd get a thermogasket intake manifold gasket before blocking off the coolant

dyno tested, leave the lines alone.

No change in HP.

Thx for the info i think i will leave it alone

Does, however, increase reliabilty...fewer coolant lines.

sure does.........

and if your thinking that, then you don't need the 2 going to the radiator either.
