    Throttle Body Spacers

    As controversial as a topic, does anyone have any thoughts on throttle body spacers?

    Found some cheap ones on aliexpress & figure 40$ might be worth giving it a shot...

    Sounds good. Thread to be continued.

    Planned for when I have the intake manifold off for my spark plug change.

    They are for a couple different reasons, 1 change the airflow
    2 cools the fuel

    A throttle body spacer is considered a tool to increase the power of torque, horsepower, and fuel economy. It will help to direct the flow of air into the manifold to increase the volume that enters the intake system. Improving horsepower is one of the main benefits of installing the throttle body spacer.

    Exactly & yes, it's a cheap mod that I'll take a chance with my butt-dyno in hopes to perhaps increase throttle response somewhat without a tune or controller... that said, it's 36$ & for those who are interested... here's what I got from Ali Express... Name:  image0(16).jpg

    Install to be done in spring with my spark plug change at 54,000kms. Throttle bore seems large for this size engine. Was going to use this is a physical template to match up bolt pattern for larger Nissan throttle bodies at the junkyard.

    im puttin a dollar a week in the cookie jar to save already..if your disappointed with results,I'll just get dinner at chipotle instead. so if 1 spacer is good 3 is better, right?..i could probably afford 1 extra spacer per year


    54 k for the spark plugs....i think my plan is 120-160.....i think i'll be dead before i reach that.
