cool water to tb?

[mark p. liner]

has anyone tryed to run cool water to tb? i thought maby one could use a wind shield washer bottle and pump to run cool water, even add some ice. it would be easy to do, does anyone think it would even worth it?

hey

its probely not worth it. with all the hassel of rigging it up you probley wont see any gain. i mean unless its 120 out and the inlet air is really hot and you could cool it to 70 deg. maybe you will be .1 in change. thats what i would think

it would be no hassel.go to a bone yard and get a bottle with a bult in pump like most are and wire it up and run some hoses. and there is lots or room to mount it. however thats not the point, i just cant help but to think it would be beneficial to circulate ice cold water through the tb.

This mod is kind of like weight reduction. every ounce eventually adds up.

Try it and see what happens, i was going to do this myself but never did.

I had a cool can that i was going to run to the tb and put a pump inline. Maybe some dryice or just ice would work.

If you do it let me know, you try it first

If you are going to that much trouble, wrap some hose around the flex elbo that goes from the mass air to throttle body, into and out of throttle body and back to tank--cool the whole air tunnel. I thought about this once, but you would need to insulate the whole package. If you pull your flex elbo off as much as I do, that would be a PAIN.

So many ways to try to keep these cars cool, or maybe header wrap on the up and down pipe might keep some heat out of the engine bay.

I have header wrap on my downpipe,the uppipe is already "wrapped"under the steel braid stuff from factory with same type of refractory material.A windsheild washer pump probably would not be up for continuous duty.

Crazy,I have a cool can and was thinking of using it for the fuel line(with dry ice) and insulating the fuel line from can to rail then insulate the rail.Where I work there are Boilermakers and they have all kinds of neat materials for insulating things that get red hot.I got some wrap from them that is about 3/4 an inch wide and wrapped the oil feed line to the turbo with it cuz it was running so close to the ex housing and I did not want a sharp turn here.This stuff would work good to wrap a fuel line and rail too.
