Depends on the year model. My 96z was super easy just disconnect the water line that goes from the radiator to the TB and place it on the steam pipe line done deal I think I cut a little off the hose aswell. I believe 95-97 are the easiest to do whereas the previous years require a new 3/8 hose for under $7.00

Mine is a 93 I just basically disconnect the line under the drivers side and disconnect the line that goes to the vale cover and then Connect the 2 together right..???

Line that goes to the valve cover? Stop right there! Your gonna feed coolant into your crankcase through the valve cover?

What you do is disconnect both the coolant hoses going into the bottom plate of the TB and join them together with a hose union (barb) and clamps. Couldn't be simpler.

Woah!!! I pray he reads your post before he does that. It connects to the hose that runs to the back of your heads. NOT the valve cover. If needed lmk and I can take pic of mine for you.

Video sent. OP not everyone was popped out the cooter with the knowledge of where/why the coolant passages are routed the way they are. I know I wasn't. The only way to learn is reading, twisting wrenches, and asking questions.

agreed 100%

You look for a coolant line going into one side of the TB and another going out the other side. It was already noted that they are on the bottom. Picture even posted. You take the two hoses off the TB and join them together (hence the term 'TB bypass'). I can't understand the confusion.

I did it now.. I didn't see the one on the passenger side. Thanks for helping/making fun of me guys lol is it a must to cap the tb..??

No, because now you have nothing going through there? Not a must, but a lot of people do it.

Best picture I've seen regarding how to do this mod. Why can't I find it on your website?

Same thing could've saved you a whole lot of time and trouble before your valve float issues, eh?

Because it did not come from my website. I found it with a Google image search.

Sounds like an issue that needs to be resolved!

No I dont agree Richard. I have all of the skills, tools and mechanical knowledge to properly do anything required on my vehicle. I got burned by not having the experience of spec'n my parts because I am not a racer and did not have significant high performance knowledge. But nice try.
