does the throttle body spacers help. i have a ls swap with a b16 tranny and planning on gettin the throttle body spacers. how about obx. are they any good.

 

i haven't heard too much about them but i'm thinking the gains are very minimal and not worth the cash. invest elsewhere $.02

 

they help alot on a v8 engins but with 1/3 the displace ment you get about 1/3 the hp incress.

Only some (that are carb'd).

OP: Don't waste your money.

Nah, they make a difference on the fuel injected models - like the early EFI mustang 5.0's and such.

Though I agree they're a waste on a civic.

 

they seem more popular on older carbed v8's where they dont have as good fuel atomization as modern engines do without some intake manifold/head work. there is one i saw in the honda-tuning magazine tapped with nipples for nitrous input, vacuum sources, ect. Looked kinda neat.

 

not worth it

That's the way turbo specialties kits run extra fuel.

They keep the stock fuel injectors, but put a throttle body spacer in there where 2 more injectors are, sort of like the supra setup.

 

i bought one for my d16z6 a while back. big waste of money. but it does make a cool whistling sound. lol. unless your getting it for free dont bother.

 

damn waste of money. what about other brands instead of obx.

Nope, don't get one from any brand.

 

it depends the set-up. if its a autox/ turbo car then yeah it might help. for a DD warrior with minimal mods its not worth it. id rather get a synthetic oil change

 

I say get it...

Well, I bet he's already made up his mind, considering it's been over a month...
