Does anyone here have them on? Will these work on import applications?

 

You could use one but why?

 

Im referring to the tb spacers that supposedly increase the velocity of incoming air....by creating some vortex thats supposed to spiral air into the manifold.

 

The only reason these stupid things were made for throttle bodies where the fuel was mixed with the air before the spacer. That way once the air/fuel reaches the spacer it can start to spin and in theory, atomize better. I dont believe they actually work..but thats just my opinion.

 

Are they like torque plates on a carb'd application?

So in order for those to work they would need to be between the Intake manifold and the cylinder head..

Exactly, they would need to be after where the fuel and the air have come together. A throttle body spacer wouldnt do a damn thing on a honda.

supposed to be the same theory, as mentioned above this would not apply to a fuel injected honda, unless it was between the intake manifold and the head, but works on carb'd cars because the fuel is mixed before/going down the intake manifold.

 

I think it adds .00001 or somthing like that on a dyno test a friend did but that could be the difference between hot and cold run i belive those only make a difference on domestics

 

Nope, I'm referring to the plates that go in between the throttle body and the intake manifold.
