Frequently Asked Questions

I don't feel the need to keep the throttle body cool, can I buy the intake manifold spacers only?

Outlaw Engineering
This is a common question made by people that don't fully understand the operation of the system. The throttle body spacer is not meant to keep the throttle body cool, but is meant to keep the intake manifold insulated from the heat of the throttle body. Remember that most throttle bodies are heated by engine coolant to keep ice from forming in cold climates. This heat transfers from the throttle body to the intake so that the intake is now effectively heated from both ends.

What is the hole for on the inlet manifold, directly behind the throttle body?

GILBERT CHEVROLET - LS1 Engine Kit FAQ
Some inlet manifolds may have a hole directly behind the throttle body for the EGR feed pipe. The EGR system is not used in this application and the hole will need to be plugged to prevent a vacuum leak.

Do I need to install gaskets with the ThermoBlok spacers, or do they replace the manifold gaskets?

Outlaw Engineering
ThermoBloks should be installed with gaskets, which is why most kits contain extra gaskets for the spacers. Users may elect to apply a "sensor safe" gasket sealant such as Permatex #1 instead. The 1/4" (6.35 mm) addition to the runner length will indeed shift the torque curve to the left slightly, about 50 RPM. This has actually been proven to be a benefit as it helps to restore some of the torque lost due to the addition of larger intakes and exhausts.

gt;> Can I use a throttle body spacer with my aftermarket cold air intake???

Frequently asked questions about throttle body spacers - Thr...
It depends upon the type of throttle body spacer, the type of cold air intake and the type of vehicle. Your best bet is to purchase your throttle body spacer from the same company that manufactured your cold air intake. For example Street and Performance Electronics and AIRAID both manufacture a line of throttle body spacers and cold air intakes which are completely compatible.

What intake manifold is best?

DSM Support - Mitsubishi Eclipse - Eagle Talon - Plymouth La...
Again this question varies depending on what the car is used for. (Daily Driver, Road-Racing, Drag Racing?) Here is a flow chart that shows the difference between 7 different intake manifolds.

What if I don't feel anything - is it still helping my body?

Some will feel a difference immediately, others in a few days or a week. Many, after several months. Even if you don't "feel anything", keep drinking TAHITIAN NONI? Juice because it is still working to help your body in whatever ways your body needs help. If you drank water, orange, apple or grape juice ? do you feel anything? Even if you didn't, you continue to drink it because you know they are good for your body.

Is my daily sole intake dependent on my body weight?

Himalayan Living Salt Frequently Asked Questions
The recommended one teaspoon of sole solution per day is a general guideline for adults which can be adjusted a bit according to ones own feeling. It’s not a question of “more is better,” but rather the intake of the frequency pattern of the sole that is important. One drop of the sole would be sufficient. With the teaspoon, you will also cover all the necessary minerals and trace elements. For children, a few drops are sufficient.

What is the best throttle body diameter?

Factors influencing size are; Power output, RPM, cylinder head design, cylinder capacity, position of the throttle body in the inlet tract and position of the injector. A smaller bore leads to better throttle control and response (never underestimate) and improved fuel mixing. The system should be considered in total - from (at least) trumpet flange to cylinder and proportioned accordingly.

Which type of throttle body?

Twin bodies are the most straightforward solution for tuning production engines, Direct-to-head where available, or via a suitable manifold. Direct-to-head-bodies represent the simplest and neatest solution. They are harder to match to the inlet ports if this is required for the engine in question, but have the advantage of being angled for best results, unlike a carburettor manifold. Single bodies represent the no-compromise solution.

Where do I attach the throttle cable bracket, my inlet manifold is missing the thread inserts?

GILBERT CHEVROLET - LS1 Engine Kit FAQ
Some of the inlet manifolds may not contain the thread inserts in the inlet manifold, select the proper size Nut-set® thread insert and install in the inlet manifold bosses.

Wimpy is pleased to inform you that nutritional tables are available for all Wimpy foods, check the Wimpy website.

Can you explain why we need the manifold?

Underfloor Heating DIY - Frequently Asked Questions
The manifold is used to connect the underfloor heating floor pipework. This means there are no joints under the concrete floor; it is one continuous run. The manifold is a mixing manifold and therefore needed to mix the hot water from the boiler to attain the lower temperature for the underfloor heating. See a diagram of the manifold for more information. this expanable content box is made using a free javascript from flooble | Read free brainteasers

What if the intake manifold on my Class Vehicle has not failed?

Frequently Asked Questions Chamberlan v. Ford Settlement
Ford will provide to Settlement Class Members a retroactive extended vehicle warranty to cover fatigue cracks in the all-composite intake manifold Class Vehicles, resulting in coolant leaks at the crossover coolant passage. The coverage for this extended warranty is for seven years from the start date (which means the initial vehicle sale date) without a mileage limitation.

How do you make a carbon-fiber intake manifold for an EA81 ?

Subaru FAQ
The stock manifold on the EA-81 has many drawbacks. It is restrictive to flow, and is heated by the coolant which reduces available normally aspirated power. It is heavy at 7 lbs, bulky, and has an awkward physical carburetor interface. A much improved manifold can be easily constructed from carbon fibre by the average builder. This article will attempt to describe how this may be accomplished. Carbon is used for its high modulus and low weight to give an acoustically solid structure.

How do you make a carbon-fiber intake manifold for the SVX ?

Subaru FAQ
The general build method was spawned by Nigel Field. Basically the builder forms a male plug using Styrofoam. Forming Styrofoam entails cutting the foam using a hot wire saw followed by trimming with a sharp knife followed by sanding with regular sand paper. (Use good quality Styrofoam ). Once a satisfactory shape is achieved cover the surface with paraffin wax by rubbing the wax against the foam whilst being heated with a hair dryer. The wax acts as a release agent.

What about the EGR? Doesn't the hot exhaust gas heat up the intake manifold anyway?

Outlaw Engineering
During EGR operation, exhaust gas is fed into the intake during part throttle operation. This is done to dilute the intake charge in order to cool combustion and reduce NOX emissions. The amount of exhaust gas bled into the intake is minimal and does not appreciably heat the intake charge. Additionally, the EGR valve is closed during full throttle and doesn't dilute the intake charge at all. The temperature data on our TECH page speaks for itself.

Why and how should I bypass the throttle body coolant lines?

_2
A small amount of coolant is passing through the small hoses connecting to the throttle body. The main reason is so that during the winter months, the higher temperature of the coolant will keep the throttle body warmer thereby preventing icing. That's where the problem lies during the other months. By warming up the throttle body, you're warming up all of the air passing into the engine and thus losing some power (since cooler, denser air makes more power).

gt;> What is a throttle body spacer???

Frequently asked questions about throttle body spacers - Thr...
A Throttle Body Spacer is an add on to your air/fuel intake area. Originally used in the days of vehicles with carburetors, a throttle body spacer would allow additional fuel/air mix to be present to allow for additional power, or was used to "disturb" the air in such a way so that the fuel would form smaller droplets.

Can NDI be caused by low food intake and low body weight in anorexia nervosa?

Frequently Asked Questions-Page 4
Anorexia nervosa can be associated with DI and deficient secretion of the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin in someone who has CDI. These deficiencies are slowly reversible if the patient regains and keeps her normal weight for six months or more.
