Which Cooland Hoses On Inlet Manifold Can Be Blocked ?

[PROXIMITY]

just doing head gasket atm, and their is coolant lines everywere on rb's.

Im sure you can do without many of them, i know def the tb one does not need to be connected.

But anyone else out their blocked any up before or know which i can block up ?

Any info muchly appreciated.

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

why not just leave them?

[lotsalag]

+1 for leave them

sure people will tell u u can make more power etc without coolant running through everything, but if bits r cold on the intake ur car will have bad fuel atomisation etc and might drive like a pig till warm. remember carby cars often run a heat riser tube off the exhaust manifold to the intake for this reason.

reminded me of the "mod" where u bypass the throttle body coolant hoses etc and people feel a gain in response and power etc! lol kinda odd considering the whole inlet manifold has coolant running through it!

lol i dont want to do it for more power.

just get rid of junk thats not needed.

What other cars do you see with spaghetti cooland lines everywere ? and ones threw the manifold its stupid.

[lotsalag]

hehe, at least ur doing it for logical/sensible reasons

as for getting rid of em, yes its a mess under there, and its been a while since i had a good look with a plenum off, might have to try and nut it out, or just change all the hoses to save headaches.

i had one in there let go, it was an absolute prick to change!

I have had many let go over the years on my other 20's. its bullshit, And i really think they are not essential.

I will replace them all new if no1 knows, but i have heard of people removing/blocking a few.

Someone must know ?

When I had my head off I redid some of the coolant lines by removing some and reconnecting others. It's a bit hard to describe it all but the easiest one to do is the throttle body coolant one and rejoining it elsewhere. That's one line you can piss off, don't need to worry about a buterfly sticking shut in Australia's climate.

Maybe because of the age of the lines, or becoming blocked?

What would nissan not know that you do?

This is about as far up there with mods such as filling the chassis rails with foam, or looping the battery fumes into the intake...

what?

[lotsalag]

Battery fumes into intake?! rofl

Please ellaborate!

Kinda reminds of me of a wrx owner i was on the phone to, who wanted his ""screamer pipe" hooked up to the intake to his turbo"

Yes epic LOL

I explained u only do that if u want a nice fire in the engine bay and kindly suggested to bring it past and i'll have a look what he meant exactly what we might be able to do for him. He never turned up tho funnily enough!

Generic foam in chassis rails wont do squat, but u can get stuff more specific for the job that does apparantly work, off topic either way.

[Bl4cK32]

some bs rumor of a mod that was floating around years ago....i cant see the point of removing coolant lines just because other cars u cant see them.

[PROXIMITY]

i asked a question i have my reasons.

So please if you dont have an answer dont bother replying.

[PM-R33]

I completely understand man. I hate all those hoses underneath the runners hence I tried to tidy it up as best as I could.

[PROXIMITY]

So no1 on here knows which can be blocked or bypassed ?
