Okay im think about buying a TBI spacer i figure since ive got the tbi off to do the ultimate tbi mods i should just put the tbi spacer on at the same time but want to see results, so can you say what brand it was and what type of material its made out of and of course could you feel a difference with it before and after.

THANK YOU

i have the jegs one.....there wont be any SOTP difference

everybody sells them, they're all made out of metal, one's not really any better than another.... and then there's the ingenious DIYers out there :hail: :hail: :hail:

it's probably not a bad idea to just stick one on but dont expect anything noticeable from it

see if you can get one used off ebay so you dont end up spending 75 bucks like i did

So even the ones that have the spiral's cut into them to make the air mix with the fuel better dont make a difference?

im not saying any of them wont make ANY difference, im just saying you're not gonna take a 170hp car and suddenly be spinning tires into 4th gear

well i know that but could you tell if there was one in there or not?

by itself? i didn't, others havent, you probably wont.......

but that's not to say it doesnt do anything. if you can find one relatively cheaply or make your own, it's not gonna hurt anything. remember, things work together. there's not many things that you can just bolt on and instantaneously feel the difference.

does anyone make a spacer or adapter that makes a tbi hook up to an egr carb intake manifold because i was noticing the wide range of carb manifolds theres hundreds of them but low range of tbi manifolds very few

My 91 Silverado has the Helix power tower throttle body spacer on it. I don't know if it made a difference over stock though, being as it came on the truck when I bought it.

spacers are not worth a ton on a stock tbi car. they are supposed to help mileage a little bit. you may gain a few hp but not enough to jsutify the price. i woudl suggest saving teh money and putting it towards a posi and gears or some othe rpart that will maek a real difference.

Or you could always make your own and save some $$$. If I can make one then anyone can. Give it try before you spend $60-$80 on one. I have a pic of mine on my web page if want to see it.

how much space can be added under the tbi before it hits the hood because i have a 3 inch open element on mine and it comes close to the hood already i was thining about making/buying a 1 inch spacer and one more thing wwhere did you get the material you made yours out of thanks

Don't by Corian brands. They have 1" spacers and I had to modify my cable bracket in order for my cables to reach. Make sure its .5" high.
