water lines on TB

[Nunook]

Yeah I tried to search for it, but maybe i searched wrong.

anyways I would like to kno how important the water lines that run to the bottom of the throttle body are?

I was thinking, and probably wrong, that i could block them off or join them and skip the TB. Would it keep the TB/intake cooler once the car warmed up?What kind of side effects?

Thanks,

nevermind I found my answer in the KA section.

so would the fact that I don't have these connected be why my car runs like crap for the first few minutes after I start it up? Once it warms up it runs like a champ, but on my way out of the neighborhood it sure doesn't like to rev at all!

No..

I've bypassed these lines on my CA, just like I blocked off those "failure inducing" water lines on the back of the plenum.

Cold start crappiness is caused by blowby carbon crap filling up the idle-up solenoid underneath the throttlebody. This is VERY common on an overboosted/overrevved CA.

I've NEVER had mine hooked up and it starts just fine.

hrm. it idles fine, but with a load on the motor it feels like I have a massive boost leak. But once everything warms up it feels fine. I just pulled apart my idle air solenoid and cleaned it, but it really wan't dirty. Its not really a big deal, it lasts for all of 2 minutes before the engine gets warm.

i just finished cleaning up all these and condeming them, i installed my water temp sensor for my AM temp gauge on one of the outputs for one of the TB lines..

i used the big pipe running under the intake manifold to run my Stainless Steel braided line for my water line for the turbo.. condemed all those little water lines around the intake..

Mind clarifying what you mean by "failure inducing" ?

Yes please clarify.BTW I did block off the lines to the Throttle body this morning. The car starts up the same. My car runs bad when its cold also, but I changed from 20w50 Valvoline oil to 15w40 Penzoil and that helped alot. Believe it or not.

Now I just have to block off the water lines to my turbo, and get an oil cooler kit.

i think he means there prone to breaking

you know that's not what everyone has been asking about... so you're joking... right?
