not something you're going to need unless you have some pretty heavy-hitting mods.

the TB spacer might help out some, but not a lot. for $54, it's not too bad of a thing to do IMO. i'd spend my money elsewhere first.

 

Another utter piece of **** that is proudly brought to you by OBX!

I have one on my accord and it does nothing but make a whistling noise....

Buy one from streetperformanceelectronics i think its called, they are the proper throttle body spacers

 

do they actually give u a noticable increase in power?

 

YOu'd see good power gains in carburated muscle cars, but with EFI it doesnt really do much

 

k thnx for the help...what about the fuel rail tho? any comments?

 

well, you CAN see gains from a TB spacer with a fuel injected car. you still have TB injected engines. even on MPFI engines, the added plenum volume CAN help.

 

The fuel sprayed in by fuel injection already 'atomizes' the fuel though, so it doesnt do as much as it would with a carbeurated engine.

Oh and a fuel rail will do NOTHING on an engine that isnt a powerful all motor or boosted setup.

 

i agree. it's not going to do much, but if it'll muster you another 1WHP, then go for it. the thing is that money is much better spent elsewhere.

and i FULLY agree with the fuel rail. the stock rail is probably at least 150% of what the car needs, anyway.

 

k thnx guys. by the way what would u spend ur money on instead for hp gains?...other than turbo stuff

 

well, what do you have done now?

 

v2 , wires and plugs, nothing special. jus doin research. dont want exhaust quite yet.

 

Exhaust is going to make more power than any of the stuff you have on already, why not go for it?

Header, high flow cat, exhaust will give you a good 8hp or so.

 

headers and high flow cat im all for, its jus the exhaust, it seems impossible to get one w/o ppl bashin u for it. i see people all of the time with it and they think they have the fastest cars on the planet. Not only that but every one that sees it thinks u wanna race or something. jus dunno what the deal is with that

 

i agree. header, high-flow cat, and a good exhaust will net you a lot more than a lot of other things combined.

i'd also consider getting rid of the huge rims. i'd go with smaller rims and tires. you muck up the gear ratios if you go with larger outside diameters with that stuff. go with something lightweight.

after IHE, things start getting a bit more expensive. after i get there with my car, i'll go with the intake manifold, port and polish the head, and an agressive cam. i'll switch to OBD1 so i can have some tuning options and dyno tune the car. i'm sure a 15% increase in power will make me happy (over stock), as this is and always will be a daily driven car.

 

i understand my rims are kinda big, pretty damn light for 18's tho being the lightest i could find. how much would a decent intake manifold run? that and where could i find one?

 

I dont think there is one for F series, youd have to either have an IM custom made or have it ported andpolished to match the TB.

 

sorry to get back to the TB spacer, but I got one a long time ago, and I coundnt figure out how to put the f*cker on.. It comes with 4 extended bolts, but...that just doesnt make sense cause the IM has 2 bolts that are attached to it that are supposed to have nuts at the ends, how do you make that longer??

for the exhaust why not get the magnaflow exhaust. its very subtle and it not too lound. the apexi WS exhaust is also pretty subtle looking and its pretty quiet as well.

 

I have the Apex'i WS and it is very quiet and I love it. The short ram I have drowns out the exhaust at WOT anyways. The ony problem is that it hangs low and teh piping isnt stainless steel.

I'd look into getting a KTeller kit w/o a muffler, then get an Apex'i WS universal and a good 14"-18" resonator and take it to an exhaust shop to get welded together. It won't be too pricey, and it will sound very quiet and not rust.

 

Does anyone know how to install this TB spacer?

 

Nobody has ever installed a TB spacer before?

 

Most of us didnt find it useful, I guess ::shrugs::.
