Throttle body spacer
Does anyone no if these throttle body spacers from OBX really do anything, I heard that they give good high end and take away from the low end torque, Does anyone know if there worth it.

throttle body spacers were a great idea for engines with super short intake tracts....like throttle body injectoed v8s....but for a honda it wont do anything, you get teh same effect by putting a longer intake on your car.

Re: Throttle body spacer (Juccord)
Coincidentally I just bought one last thursday off ebay. I also bought a 3' intake system, to replace my AEM. Had a few bucks to burn to see if i could get any extra power from these products. I'll let you know how it works.

yes, it will "work" on your car, but its not worth it at all.....cause any change will by unnoticable......
FYI: i had a convo a few weeks ago about that tornado piece of **** with a couple of guys (all of who REALLY know what their talking about).....aparently, the tornado did improve gas milege, and worked suprisingly well......untill the flimsy metal got sucked into the ITM, and made its way into the combustion chamber, and bent the **** out of the valves.....

Whether the tornadoes work or not, they're still a piece of ****. I'd rather have shitty gas mileage than a fucked up head.
