PRODUCT DETAILS
TracTuff Water Bypass Block Off - K20Z3 / K24A2 / K24A4 / K24A8
The TracTuff Water Bypass Block Off is for builders running the K20Z3 and K24A-series engines in the 2006-2011 Honda Civic Si and 2004-2008 Acura TSX who want a simple, clean way to delete the factory water bypass. It's a precision-machined plate that does the job without the extra cost or complexity of features you won't use.
Why This Exists
TracTuff developed this after years of feedback on their original Water Bypass Adapter. A lot of customers were simply plugging the adapter instead of routing coolant through it, so TracTuff built a dedicated block-off plate that keeps all the fitment precision and quality of the adapter without paying for the unused features. If your plan was always to block the bypass off, this is the purpose-built part for it.
Build Quality
Each block-off is machined from high-grade aluminum for strength and durability, with the same attention to detail as every TracTuff component. It installs cleanly and keeps a factory-like appearance under the hood.
Water Pump Block Off Fitting Sold Separately
Important: this listing is the block-off plate only. The water pump block off fitting that completes the bypass delete is not included and is sold separately. Make sure you add that fitting to your order so you have everything you need to finish the job, rather than getting the plate and finding you're a part short on install day.
Understand The Modification
The water bypass serves a real function in engine temperature management, so this isn't a free delete, simplifying the cooling system does change how coolant moves through the engine. Research the pros and cons of a bypass delete and make sure it fits your build goals before committing to it.
Adding A Sensor Port
If you plan to add a sensor port, drill and tap from the front side for your sensor's thread pitch. Do not start tapping from the back.
