Roberto, you rock my world.

Hmmm ran without mine on the Fodo and I do beleive Stolle runs this way away well in the rex but then again we were both OBD-0.

Anyways good looking car, very clean.

werd, take the darn thing off like you said this isnt alaska, make a plate and bolt it over the hole, or put some gasket material between the "FITV" and throttle body to cover up the ports, just make sure its sealed...

So you DONT actually need it... ive had a few other cars where i did the coolant bypass on the TB. . . . . basically it'll be fine as long as it's sealed up?

im sure your not, im sure honda did that for a reason but if its fine without it and could potentially help in the hp department so why not do it? i would not recommend doing it on an automatic though...

yup, and as spork said some of the throttle bodies dont even have them so you could just find one like that...

Well after you get your " Master OEM Technician " title, be sure to let me know so i can drop a box of cookies in the mail for ya.

Part of the fun is in the trial and error. If a coolant bypass will lower your AIT and not affect how the car runs, then why not do it? If it doesn't work out, THEN take the OEM route. :occasion14:
