One of my online buddies asked me what i would liek for my bday that isnt too expensive, so i told him the tbi injector spacer. now before i install, im curious on if their will be any complications installing this? thanks!

 

if you get a 1" spacer u might have problems connecting your fuel lines, throttle linkage and your TV cable. I had no trouble on the other hand putting on my 1/2" spacer.

 

mine is the one from jegs, im holding it in my hand and looks to be about half inch

 

how much faster is it?

 

so you got the injector pod spacer or the TB spacer?

 

thinking the same thing

 

yea, making a injector pod is simple anyways

 

This is TraviZ, at a friends house so im on his account, but i got the injector spacer.

 

The injector spacer is an easy mod and just lifts your injector pod up a bit. This helps un-shroud the TBI bores a bit. You may also want to do the ultimate TBI mods now as well. Both can actually increase the cfm of the TBI a bit for practically next to nothing. You will benifit more from the injector spacer than the TBI spacer. You will not feel the difference but it will help a bit when you have other mods that require a higher flowing TBI unit. Does it come with new screws? If not I do not think the stock screws will be long enough.

 

Guys be sure to check those screws as they can make for a bad day once they get loose.

 

I just installed a TB spacer (1") and a injector spacer. With the injector spacer DON'T TIGHTEN THE ALLEN SCREWS TOO MUCH it will strip with just hand tightness.

As for performance gain... I noticed more low end torque but less high end, better trottle reponce, tranny shifts at different trottle positions than before(bad) but doesn't have to shift to get going faster(good), doesn't fit under air cleaner.

 

you need to adjust your TV cable to get your shift points back to where they used to be

 

i will tell u this wednsday how much time i shave off with this 20 dollar mod

 

dont expect to shave any time off your ET, the tbi spacer is maybe good for 1 HP.

 

I agree. Plus I bet your TV cable is off and that is effecting your shifts like vgo mentioned. It is very easy to missalling and stretch the TV cable and throttle cables when adding spacers. I had a hard enough time getting my .5" to work.

 

well unlike iggy's problem, i have a manual tranny

 

I agree with the rest of the guys, you probably won't gain much if anything. I only installed it to get rid of that 1" round spacer above the TB and to go with my cold air intake that I'm building. All are just things that add a little bit and perform better than the stock setup.

As for the TV cable do I adjust that on the tranny end?

 

Whats the difference? And exactly where do they install? Anyone got pics? I am more of a visual learner. hehe.

 

The injector spacer lifts the injecotr pod up off the TBI unit a bit and helps unshroud the TBI bores. The TBI spacer lifts the TBi unit as a whole up off of the intake manifold. This helps increase the plenum depth of the intake manifold and will create more power. However, they don't really add power to a TBI set-up but do work well on carbs.
