I was just wondering if the throttle body spacers can actually make a difference worth the $90-$115 on a fairly modified D16Y8 auto

instead of being an *** and telling you to search Ill answer your question. I sell the ones by AEM and Street&Performance aka Helix and they do make quite a different. But I did notice that once I adde my Holley Throttle body it really didnt do anything..so depends on how modified you are.

 

throttle body spacers are for carbed vehicles only.

 

WOW are you wrong. The sell them for many vehicles. If you get the tornado thing on the net or tv dont waste your time cuase its junk..get and actually spacer.

 

He ment spacers will only produce decent to any number with carb...

 

still very wrong. My spacer gave me the same gains as my Holley TB..but the holley matched up better with the new Intake Manifold. Im sure the gains are better on carbed but I found them alright for other vehicles.

 

I wouldn't.. Seems like a waste for $90, put it towards something else.

BULL ****!! you made over 9whp with a freaken spacer!! you can't even make that much with an Skunk 2 Intake Manifold!!! unless your spacer is forcing air into your motor, that thing won't even make 1whp!! and for your information...9 whp is more like 18-20 hp which that shitty thing wouldn't even come close to making.

and that thing is a waste of $$$$!!!

 

ignorance is bliss... It will make a difference, not much on a honda, but on a jeep, yes

so you're saying that adding such a thing as a throttle spacer will add 9whp or more on a jeep. I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT. i have a jeep wrangler as a daily commuter and i can tell you that adding that **** on does not add 9 whp!! it may add at most 2-5 hp, not WHP. all that helping the air mix better with fuel is BS. your injectors are placed right infront of your intake ports for a reason, and fuel is mixed with air right in front of the valves as it's getting sucked in, and is fully mixed when in the chamber.

 

first of..moron. Have you ever owned one? Do you realize what it does? It turns your incoming air into a vortex which in return forces more faster smoother air into your engine. I went to a big convention for my parts store and alot of aftermarket intakes (granted mostly trunks, suvs, ect) are turning to this same design. Get your facts straight.

dude straight up outta the bottle your a dumb **** cause hes right and your wrong its a simple as that. the spacers do make decent power for jeeps and also the toyota tacoma's( personally i have seen 5-10hp on the dyno) it all depends on the setup.

 

these things dont do ****. even if they did not worth the $90+. a magazine that i cant remember, did a dyno test with these and they actually took away horsepower. and to all these people that say these are the bomb diggity, show me dyno sheets!! (butt dyno doesnt count)

 

so that nice little swirling votex of air flowing into the plenum (lets just politely negate the fact that it will only turbulize the very boundary layer of the air, and won't even come close to swirling the entire air flow) will stay swirling as it does a 90 deg bend into the runners? the whole point behind TB spacers were to provide better fuel atomization for carbed V8 where the fuel enters the intake tract at the carb, and is not injected right into the intake ports.

in other words, they wont do **** for hondas...besides make things worse.

are you speaking out of your ***?? if so please don't post because i know what the hell i'm saying. these things do **** for fuel injected cars and the swirl also does ****. unless you've only got 1 intake port, that swirl you smart asses are talking about doesn't do **** and it doesn't speed up air flow what-so-ever. air only flows as fast as your engine can suck it in with all the restrictions slowing the flow down(throttle plate, filter, small pipes, etc).

you sir are are f*cking moron! you're one of those freak riceboys that believes everything that he/she sees on tv and in magazines. please don't post if you don't know **** and all that comes out of your mouth is ****.

 

These 9whp gains are useless without a dyno chart, you show me a dyno chart, then well talk, until then, your argument is null.
