Re: Throttle Body Spacer
Posted: Wed Jun 20, 2012 6:01 pmForced induction would be the way to cause enough votlrtex suction to make a power difference. Otherwise, its for fun suction sounds.
BTW if you go with a tachoma throttle body spacer here is some info you may want from when I installed mine.
OK I got it in. The Home Depot did not have 65mm m8X 1.25 bolts just 70 and 60, so in a lapse of good judgment I got 60mm The fit on the top 2 holes no washer. I will be getting 70 mm eventually. 60 mm does NOT fit the bottom 2 holes. I used the 90 mm that came with it and 2 washers each from the kit; I will probably try 70 mm later on. Other than that install was easy.
How did it feel well it is hot out today so I cannot wait for evening to really have fun but I do feel like midrange has had a nice improvement and I would recommend it as a cheap mod for other people. Second gear feels a lot nicer and the powerband feels smoother. I will try to get pictures soon.
****** Update
On the top use m8 X 1.25 70mm long and on the bottom use 2 of the 90 mm long that came with the kit and 2 washers under each 90 and 1 under each 70mm. You will need to also buy 2 m8 washers for the top sense the kit only comes with 4.
*******
autozone where I am at only had a max of 45mm long. I have bolted everything on but the car wont start when i took it back apart and put my SAI back on it started up normally. Maybe i did something stupid or left something out, I will try it again.
