yeaa i did it on my si...

1. it might freeze up your throttle body in cold climates.
2. i did it on my si. no power difference at all.
3. i've only done it to the si.
4. i'm guessing they run coolant through the throttle body so it won't freeze up in the winter times in some parts of the country. you can always reverse it when winter time comes though.
5. it's harder to do on an r18 than an si. i was going to do it to my friend's r18, but it looked like a lot of work. the bypass on the si takes like 10-15 mins.

Unless you still have the stock intake system in the R18, it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.

I was able to re-route the existing line and bypass it without spending a dime. I didn't notice any difference though, but im sure it made on on paper no matter how minute.

I did this on my Supra, didn't actually bypass but had those passages welded shut on the intake and return pipe. Biggest benifit was that now I had less hoses to break and taking things apart was _much_ easier. It took forever just to get those hoses off the TB, and then you have coolant everywere. Now I can tear down in about 10 minutes to the cams with no mess! With no performance benifits, unless you get similar time saving benifits I would leave it alone.

are there any dynos showing any benefits from doing this?

I know ppl were doing this on b series and it did nothing...

So Im trying to understand why anyone would do this if no performance gains.
