Throttle body Spacer

Is it true that it can give you more HP or torque?

Re: Throttle body Spacer

lol, its just dyno error then. there is no physical reason why adding a space between intake and tb would give any more hp.

Re: Throttle body Spacer

It extended the length of the intake runner. It's alot different then adding lenth on the other side of the throttle body.

Re: Throttle body Spacer

there is no throttle body casue the 8th gen uses multi point fuel injection, and works great....anytime u money around with the engine you are going to void your warrently and that is just not worth it.

Nissan GTR is too much money and better as a slot car
