can i loop the coolant lines on the TB?

[98GTI_VR6]

will it harm anything if i were to loop the water lines for the TB on my mk3 vr6? obd2
i see camaros do this at my car meet that i attend and they claim it makes for cooler air if your not heating it up with warm coolant.....any1 have any input on the matter?

yup you can loop the coolant lines on the throttle body... its there so the plate wont freeze up during winter times... you r in FL so you do not need to worry about that

Sure can. Get a fitting about 2". I used to do it in summer time, connected them back before winter.

But sounds to me like you are onto some free and easy HP; not to burst your bubble, but this ain't it.

i got beat by a z28 camaro last night on a highway pull i had him till i through it in 3rd n then he spanked me by 2 cars at about 115 then we slowed back down...
he has stuff in his car though like headers exhaust, real k&n cool air intake, gears in the rear are tighter so that may be why...
mines just a vr6 with light head work new chains a and a mk4 headgasket, lw flywheel and pullies...
but yea back to the point... i was tryin to maybe do a few small things like i just ordered a 1.8t iat sensor i'm gona do the swap for that but over by the tubing not the manifold, do you think i can do this with a piece of 3 in. pcv and just drill the holes and tap the screw hole or should i go for a flatter surface...?

Not that I condone street racing or anything, but was it an LT1 or LS1? I'm going to guess LT1 (older 350 vs the 354 CID).

[98GTI_VR6]

LT1, it was nice too..., but i was just expecting to give a better race, he got me by like i said almost 2 cars...
our 3rd is too long, thats where he pulled away..
from a dig, i'd rape his car though, i take that back i did!

Add 125 shot kit to your list. That should even hold off bolton LS1s..

[98GTI_VR6]

b4 i go that route i wanna also take my time with a short block and rebuild it with 3.0l pistons and arp everthing.... new bearings and balance the crank to 10k....
then i'll feel comfortable doing nitrous or boost...btw can i use the tt 276 cams with a mk4 gasket?
i'm either going with them or 268 drc's...... thats my next thing followed by the megasquirt...
then my bday present to myself will be the trans...

just turbo it, all that money into motor and you will still get walked.
