It's getting hot in here...

 

Damn right it is!!!! To HOTTTTTTTT LOL

 

engines get hot? tb bypass,remove plastic covers, insulate ure cai, tb spacer. I miss anything? Unless your coolant is low

 

nttstt444 .....Thanks for the link, but that is ugly! I think ill just cut slots or drill holes!!!

 

Im kinda new to this whole page, Ive tried to search how to do the tb bypass but I get nothing. I need to work on my searching skillz

 

Red text = sarcasm , and how hot are we talking, like was ure thermostat above half? unless your car wasnt even on

 

No it was normal, its just when I popped the hood everything was extremely hot, I mean I know its gonna get hot under there but damn I could fried chicken under there... My car also felt a loss of power and im pretty sure its bc of the heat

 

people claim the TB bypass helps with heatsoak, wich is why you lose power. as i literally did the bypass this morning. the tb bypass is just going to make ure throttle body cooler, but ure engine will most likely still be an oven.i forget wich thread i used for instructions, but as im on my phone i cant link it to u, im sure u could find it though.

 

Im going to keep searching unless someone can send me the link, Thanks for the help! I think I might just take the hood off and ride around like that LOL

 

OP use google.........Acura TL TB bypass

LOL, welcome to the world of the internal combustion engine. An ICE is a very inefficient machine, most of the energy is wasted in heat under the hood and out the exhaust; there's really not much you can do about it. Removing the plastic or the hood will only net you minute gains. Adding a turbo charger makes use of some of that wasted energy and is the best way to increase efficiency and performance. If you're worried about the heat, don't be, the car and the components were engineered for it.

 

^ Word. Most engines are about 25-30% efficient. So 70-75% of the fuel burned is converted to heat. Pretty depressing really.

Well let me ask you guys something, when I'm going 60 and I go to pass someone my car creeps by instead of flying by..... what could be the cause of that? It just started doing that and I thought it could of been bc of the heat

 

The cause is that they are going 59 mph. You might be able to fly by someone that is only going 50 mph.

 

The UCM should highly be considered by those in very hot climates. Too much heat can actually result in becoming a big expensive headache..

Heres an example of what happened to me:

The UCM is just plain ugly. It makes a beautiful car look cheap and ugly. If I were you I wouldnt worry about it.

 

There's a thread on here of a guy who bought hood vents from a BMW and installed them onto his hood.
Was functional and looks a lot better than the UCM.

 

I cant find the thread for some reason. But there is a similar thread in the TSX section.

 

 

Ok there are two tubes under the tb , When I remove them where the hell do they go????LOL Im trying this bypass

 

both hoses under the tb go away. when youre done you should have 2 extra hoses from that spot. be ready for coolant to spill out, i got that shit in my mouth and it was horrible. save everything so you can change it back for the winter, idk how cold it gets near you.

 

LOL your mouth???? LMAO!!!! Thanks

 

that could be a part of the problem but its more than likely an automatic transmission in a 3000+ lb car with little torque. Strange as it sounds it could also be the battery.

 

Your right it could be the battery, being that I just installed a system in my car! I got the tb bypass done and thanks for the help fellas
