After looking at two zeds with their engines ripped out, my brain is full up!!!!

I just want to make sure I am reading the write ups on this correctly before I carry out the procedure!

 

At the rear of the engine there are two pipes feeding the heater core, branching off these two pipes are two smaller pipes on each on one.

 

Are these the two pipes that feed the throttle bodys and can I just take a piece of hose and join it onto each pipe, to complete the bypass!

Mark,you can see my matrix feed pipes,however I can't see any pipes branching off them as you put it?:confused:

 

Cheers Mate,

 

I needed that picture as well so thanks for posting it!

 

It wasn't the rubber hoses going to the matrix, but a picture of the metal pipes that feed those hoses I wanted, have sorted it now;)

Ok Mark NP;)

Topless im looking at doing the bypass too and nobody got back to my post about it. Having read loads of guides on how to do it im still not 100% sure! As much as I gather theres 2 small branches coming off one of the metal tubes at the rear, I presume you pipe one to one turbo and one to the other and viola??:dance:

I believe you plumb the line from each turbo straight to the pipes feeding the hoses going to and from the heater!

No wonder your car is soo fast, it has about 40% less mass than everyone else'. lol

 

;) ;)

Not for long mate;) That hole will be filled with a serious BHP conversion:dance:

i think this is how to do it:dance:

what's the benefit of doing this?

I think it just cuts out a trillion pipes under the TB.

benefits are that you no longer run the risk of having a waterleak under the plenum.

It's also a lot easier to remove the plenum once these hoses have been bypassed.

 

There are no performance benefits, just practical.

 

However.. this system was meant to run coolant through the TB's to prevent icing (which freezes up the TB's in an open position)

Though I can't see icing happen on a turboed engine, unless you have VERY effective intercoolers and it's extremely cold outside.

I think that TT link is a sort of bodge bypass, I believe to do it properly you have to take on of the turbo return feeds and plumb it into these pipes!

 

I think it also warms the plenum halfway down and the Throttle bodies, I can't see the point of trying our upmost to keep the intake charge cool and still have this warming feature connected,

in our temperate climate!
