Those with the Mugen cooling mods
Do you notice when it's warmer out, that the temp needle is at the same spot it was before you installed the mods? Mine is right back where it was before the install.
I did just realize I need to bypass the coolant lines in the TB now that it's warm out.

That can't be right The gauge will read hot if there's air in the system or it's low on coolant(had both happen) & it should rise if the temp rises to indiacate overheating. If it doesn't how would you know if was over heating? I'm sure it's not too accurate though. As with most car gauges.

Humm . . . I did the cooling mods about 2 yrs ago, and the TB last summer . . it dropped with the cooling mods a bit, but not with the TB mod. I suspect just the intake temp is what drops with the TB mod.

Mine was about a tick mark below where it was before the mod, then the snail went on and it was right back to where it was before when in congested traffic. Since I wired up my fans to a switch to run them constantly in traffic, it's back down again. I'd suggest wiring up the fans if you want it cooler, it helps a great deal.

Hey titand19 lets see some pics of your setup, it's been a while and how is it running?

Good info here. I have the fanswitch, but I was debating if it was worth it to get all the other stuff and actually do the entire install.
What really sold me was scalbert's dyno. Everyone still think its worth it?

Helps a lot and beats turning on the AC to get the fans up and running, sortof self defeating using that method.

which lines on the TB do you bypass, i see 3 lines, i know one is the hose on the top front that goes across the top of the intake manifold, but what's the other, i think it's the one directly underneath that leads off to underneath the intake manifold. any help? silly question i know, but i realized there are 3 lines going to it and forget which ones are coolant.

That's what I've been saying. That is one side, the other is the one sticking out on the bottom (the top red box)

nope, he was right, i was wrong. just checked, b-1-10 runs to the purge valve solenoid.
both coolant lines are on the bottom. i think i'll eliminate the barb from the spacer kit and attempt to feed the longer tube straight to the other one on the engine. makes sense? ha.

yeah you can either do that or get a connector to connect the two pieces of tubing.

dshearon was right, the two hoses on the underside of the TB are the coolant lines, i just put the coolant pipe straight to the engine, a tiny bit more work, but a cleaner engine and better flowing coolant.
one word of advice, dont take off the radiator cap while coolant lines arent hooked up.
