Throttle body bypass instructions

[Steve87GN]

I searched through the forums here and have not been able to find out how to do this. Would someone be so kind as to shed some knowledge on this with me please? Thanks a bunch.

Are you talking about eliminating the coolant hoses?

Seems like I unhooked one hose... and took the other one and hooked it back to the coolant rail.... no coolant lines hooked up anymore to the throttle body.

I guess so, I'm not sure. I only have experience on bypassing the coolant to the throttle body on the LT1, not the LC2.

Sounds simple enough. Maybe I'll give it a shot this weekend then. Thanks.

I just screwed a small stainless alen pipe plug in to each hose and stuck them back on. This way it looks stock for CA. smog.

Happy spooling...

I used ball bearings to the same end. Looks normal...

I brazed the openings.
