I was looking at the DOHC manual and wondering. Look at the throttle body. Why do they put coolant thru the damn throttle body? The only thing I can see this doing is heating up the air that goes thru it.

We used to mod our Nissan VG30E to bypass the coolant from the TB. It was measurably lowering the intake temps for guys with a CAI.

Any thoughts on this guys? Any of you mechanics have input as to why they route hot coolant thru the TB?

I could have saved the $50 I paid to get just the transmission manual from Subaru.

Oh well. Thanks anyway.

It's been done already. Check out www.scoobymods.com for the way to do it. Fairly simple actually. The reason it's there is so the Throttle body doesn't freeze up in winter. But if you're in an area with no winter to speak of, then reroute them.

Well I'm im MI so we get some nice cold weather. If it was to freeze it would freeze b4 it ever was started so this would seem pretty useless.

Without looking you should be able to jsut diconnect the two hoses that go thru it and link them. Simple job yes.

Anyone here done this? Did it do anything?
