this supposedly works on K20s, i never got around to trying it on my EP3. it might work, but the horsepower gains they are claiming are way more than we would ever see.
doing this along with replacing the IM gasket with a hondata style one might be worth it.

LOL 8hp, if you want to do that jsut go down to the local auto shop and by some hose to by pass the intake, its proble cheaper. If I remember right doing this also makes it talk longer for your car to warm up in the winter

It works but the gain will be minute 8 hp is BULLSHIT. You could buy the same parts at your local hardware store for about $1.00 or less. PS there is already a thread on this subject with photos and installation DIY. All you have to do is disconnect your stock hoses from the TB and insert a 1/8 pipe nipple 1 inch long into original hoses so one leads into the other by-passing the TB install your clamps done takes about 5-10 minutes.

Use TAGS they work better than search, just put in TB,water and presto there's the post.

There is even an eariler, longer, one than this one but it's from before tags and you would have to search for it.

keeps coolant from heating the throttle body, which keeps the intake ai a little cooler. If you live where the temp drops below the freezing point, always re-connect the coolant like tot he TB in winter. The whole point of the TB heater is to prevent the throttle plate from freezing in place from condensation.
