SherlockH Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Could someone please advise what these two pipes are on my plenum (original) as my carbon fibre plenum doesn't have them ? Quote
SherlockH Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 Yeah some coolant did splash out but only a little, are these pipes essential? I'm pretty new to the zed so what exactly do they cool and why ? Quote
Vlad Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Well I guess they are part of a cooling system. Not sure if you can bypass them. I'm sure someone who knows more will pop up soon Quote
SherlockH Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 Sort of just had a @*!# myself moment, but all is good had a google around just now and it's a fairly common mod on my350z.com forums so panic over! Just have to figure out how to bypass it, but of tubing or pipe Quote
Wasso Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 The coolant pipes are for heating the TB in colder climates, hence that my350z folk choose depending on where in the US to bypass the plenum coolant input/output. If you live in Sweden for instance, it's there for -10 temps (example). Having a carbon plenum with coolant input/output makes no sense purely as its not metal. Which is why you won't have pipes for the coolant. Quote
Rich260 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) I believe these pipes are to stop the TB being exposed to freezing temps. Once warm the coolent circulates through these pipes. As you say, it's a popular mod in the state's to keep intake temps down. As long as you're not driving in freezing conditions, I can't see bypassing it with a link pipe being an issue! Looking forward to seeing this CF plenum installed ^^^Beaten to it^^^ Edited November 13, 2015 by Rich260 1 Quote
SherlockH Posted November 14, 2015 Author Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Anyone know what the two vacuum lines off the plenum feed ? Mainly interested in the one at the top of the throttle body Think one feeds some sort of servo? Edited November 14, 2015 by SherlockH Quote
