throttle body coolant bypass....and CO2?

The coolant running through the TB I assume is to keep the intake tract from icing, right?
Would there be any advantage to running the coolant the opposite way, bringing coolant from the cold side of the radiator to draw heat away from the intake manifold?

We used to do this to our 3.0 rangers on rangerpowersports, because they were known for engine knock "ping". It helped lower IAT with a composite intake spacer. A nice fix was installing the newer model upper intakes, they were all plastic, and helped lower temps drastically. If only we had a composite intake. You could prob install a fogger set-up to run down the side of the intake tube to the TB.

If you wanted to cool it, not CO2 cold, but maybe a bit cooler, you could get a small heater coil or a small trans radiator cooler, an electric pump, and some hose. Run the pump and hose out to in front of the radiator, put the small radiator cooler up there. I don't think you would see much below what ans2k was seeing though. I have heard of this type of cooling for a water cooled turbo. Though I imagine in that application it would have a greater return.

yeah, i was going to suggest the same thing. P2R spacer with there gaskets would help. they are just two platic pieces running that help with heat. get a hondata IM gasket and you will fix all of this. lol. nothing will even go through the intake manifold.

I have my tb and iac bypassed. As well as the Hondata img and P2R tb spacer and 2 P2R thermal gaskets. Dont really need to use 2 tb thermal gaskets but with 2 and the spacer you get about a full inch of spacing between the tb and the intake manifold.
