Closed loop throttle body water

roni87 · Oct 1, 2015

Would there be any benefit to running the throttle bodies on their own cooling system? Thinking they would be like a mini water to air inter cooler. It wouldn't do the job of a tru water to air but maybe help on these kits running 7-8 psi with no cooling.
Anyone else thought this?

The water jacket is there to prevent carb icing not to cool anything. The pressure differential / Venturi thru them creates a cooling effect and any water vapor in the air stream will freeze.

With the speed of the air and the surface area available, IMO running a separate cooler / pump just to try and chill the final intake charge is self defeating at best. FWIW

It would have no benefits, not even close to enough surface area for how fast the air is moving.
