2tgeu coolant lines in T/B Wed, 22 June 2005 09:40 Go to next message
hey guys i drove my car just before and when i got back i did a general check over the engine bay. i felt the temp of the pod...cold as. felt the afm.... cold as. felt the intake piping... cold as. then when it gets to the throttle body it gets real hot. i looked and right over the top of the throttle body is 2 coolant lines( in and out i guess) and these are really hot.
so yeah to my question are these coolant lines needed? would it not heat the intake air up as much with them blocked/removed??
they are about 7-8mm hoses. roughly
cheers fo any help

Those are there to prevent the inlet from freezing up in very cold weather. No they're not really necessary in our climate.

I've got the same setup on my Supra's 2JZ. Like Norbie said they are quite safe to remove(although may be handy if you live near snow).
