Im adapting a set of ITBs to my 1UZ and see they come with water pipes to heat them. How mportant is connecting the water lines back up ? What does the heated water exactly do ?
All the tb's ive seen with water flowing through them is for the cold start. They have wax in them and when the water melts the wax an idle lever changes the closed position of the valve.
and was you control valve sitting on top of a nice internal combustion heater?
Thanks for everyones replys. I live in Auckland, New Zealand. Its pretty dam cold here, winter at the moment and it does snow down to ground level in variuos parts. Being in auckland it doesnt snow but it can be pretty cold most of the year. I have decided to connect up the water lines on my throttles.
Bloody Jafa's!
...by cold, he means, about 15deg C, plus a little bit of wind haha
If your MX5 is white, i saw it at a skid comp in a velodrome in Manukau a few years back. Cool little car
