Coolant lines to TB

[btrux06]

in my case looping the coolant lines made it idle at 2000 no matter what until i blocked it off and now its good, idles good in the morning winters too. i like being able to lean over the engine and put my hand on the intake manifold to support my self and not get burned from how hot the intake manifold would get just due to 200 degree coolant running through the throttle body.

and the big one, if you have to take your throttle body off, its WAY easier with no coolant going to it. Just remove upper ic pipe coupler and the 4 bolts. thats it, slide it off.

.

That's the main reason I removed mine. Convenience.

sorry for bringin this thread back but I had a question...Is there anyway that the lines could leak inside of the TB and burn coolant, causing hellified white smoke? I'll explain more of my problem if needed. Thanks -Matt

usally white smoke is a coolent prob buti would blame it more on a head gasket got compresion numbersw..?

Not at this point i dont have compression numbers, but i will do that tomorrow, i just put a new head and head gasket on it and the head and block had 0 warpage. and there is absolutley no power loss, and it also holds boost just fine but i did put a bottle of radiator stop leak in and it fixed the smoking, and it only smokes every once in awhile now when it wants to, no particular time. and i also still looses coolant somehow (it lost coolant before the stop leak bottle was added as well), no leaks externaly either. I bought the turbo last summer BRAND new its an evo III b16g. im soo confused.
p.s. let me know if u guys want me to just put a new post up, so i dont hijack this one. thanks.

hehe doo the old stand by and toss a egg in there j/k

but ya post a compression specs in there and if that's all good maybe do a pressure test

 

[gsxboostin]

so should i start a new post then? and what do you mean by pressure test? (vacuume test on the intake track?)
