Thorottle body spacer

[mgless]

Has anyone put a throttle body spacer in a cavalier perferbally in a 96 Z24 but any platform will do they claim like 7-10 horse and torque but i dont belive it

[-Jayson-]

i dont believe it either

[Schister66]

its a chunk of metal.......it doesn't really do anything at all....

The tb spacers are sposed to make a spiral effect with the air as it enters the tb thus slamming the air into the tb and giving you better hp and tq. With the polished tubing on a after market intake it already does a good job of getting the air there quicker so in the long run all the tb spacer does is do a better job of keeping crap away from your tb that may get inside of an after market intake.

60 degree v6 has changed there site around, or id link ya. Basicly those throttle body spacers don't have any noticeable decrease in intake temps. They claim to increase torque on your motor by lengthening the runners, seeing as how the throtle body goes into a plemum then into runners, the spacer doesn't increase runner length. basicly its a 200 dollar peice of plastic with holes in it. yay.

junk

actually, I dynoed my cav with the spacer and then with out, it just moves the power band lower on the rpm scale by like 400-500 rpm's and a difference of like 8 ft lbs

Is that worth $100-$200 though? lol

[jakegday]

8ft lbs, maybe 8 hp, pretty much the same as an intake and people pay more for those....

i put an air aid throtle body spacer on my z24 and ive noticed some diference,it idles better litle bottom end and top no mid i dont think.
yes it allows more air to the fuel mixture and does creat more horsepower.

they're junk....just like all the other cheap parts that people believe are going to work so well....they just dont do anything

This is all wrong. How can a spacer that goes between the trottlebody and intake mani add more air? Do you even know what spacers are meant to do? All they do is attempt to make the airflow going in to the intake mani flow in a spiral. They don't do jack squat for cavs. It's a complete waste of $100+

I edited it for you....that's how it should read

[Classicrocjunkie]

They only good thing they can be used for is putting a nitrous nozzle in it instead if drilling your nice purdy intake. But still i wouldn't pay 100 + for it. I'd make one at the shop if i wanted one. But i don't.

What about those Flo Blades, thigns you stick in your intake tube that look like jagged razors......that looks promising? It states it will create a vortex with the incoming air to force it into the TB quicker and more efficient...........this is one I could see working.......but this TB spacer....nahhhh......any thoughts?
