A couple things you should know about IR/Temp meters. They project a beam about 4-12" wide at the distances you are using it. So you are not really measuring a single runner, but an average of 2-4 runners. Also the further you are away the bigger the cone and the more runners you are measuring. Best way it to hold is about 3-6" away. Most good ir temp tools will have this info on the unit itself or in the manual. I have a Ampro IR750 (about $300) and it projects a cone 1.3" in diameter at 1 meter (about 3' away.) The cheap ones you buy in auto parts stores are no were near that precise. Also the material you are measuring effects the result. In this case you may be measuring plastic, aluminum, iron, steel, etc. Those meters are set for an average of materials but you can calibrate them for the material you are actually measuring. So it best to hold it closer to get more reliable results and read the manual to see what the correction factor is based on the material you are measuring. Good video.Thanks
While I don't have an analyzer like you do, I can say for sure that it had lowered the octane from supreme unleaded(91) down to regular(87). Before the bypass, the engine detonates going uphill using 87; after the bypass the detonation was non-existent.
Just subbed! Also whatever heather is talking about actually makes sense in a way as the IR only hits what's in front of it, not ambient. But all in all, this is bad ass.
Yeah I don't believe removing t stat is very beneficial. Your engine will be operating at a lower temp sure but how much is that going to help tho? Would like to see some test done for that for proof tho.

Was it a cooler part of the day when you tested with the bypass dump
Done within an hr middle of the day
After bypassing coolant, I noticed that the engine temperature increased bit !
Is it normal ?
THis is very informative... Every car I own, these are the first things i do, T/B bypass, remove tstat? On MY cars that is, others just T/B.
McKinney Texas Zeds why would you remove tstat?????

remove thermostat rofl? most retarded thing ive actually ever read
Is the tb coolant-bypass only worth it if you live in a warmer climate? not a good idea in snowy weather?
@@xCzechify If it's a track only vehicle I don't see a problem with it
