Anyone using the AAM throttle body spacer for water/meth injection?
The title says it all. I'm just wondering if its working for anyone. I'd prefer to see the ports be more angled to aid in the spray direction but with the pressurized air it shouldn't be an issue I wouldn't think.

Just curious as to why you would inject the meth into the TB spacer and not directly into the intake or plenum itself?

I'm thinking I could just screw in the jet provided on the Spearco WIS kit into one of the ports on that TB spacer if its the same thread pitch. If its not I'll just re-drill/re-tap it if needed. http://www.turboneticsownersclub.com/viewtopic.php?t=37
Makes perfect sense to me. There is someone on the board who just blew up his ST Z after 2 years of having the kit. He was making 450whp or so, and it was mentioned that he had a meth/water injection kit. I wonder if he had this setup. I really like the idea, and am surprised that more FI Z owners dont choose to use it. It just seems like so many other cars use it.

The charge piping would work but it would require some metal work on the charge piping and I personally don't want to ruin the black chrome anodizing on my charge piping for that and others won't either. You could inject directly into the plenum but again it would involve drilling a hole and threading it. Sure that can be easily done in my garage. I'm just wondering if you wouldn't still have to do it near the throttle body neck to make sure the atomized charge is properlly distributed to all cylinders. I was just thinking that if you inject immediately after the throttle body the atomized charge would follow the air ditribution naturally and disperse between all the cylinders as the air does anyways. Like I said just a thought on something that would make installing this easily.

If it fits I would buy one as I need extra ports.

lt should fit just fine. The Turbonetics kit would be no different in this regard to any other kit. It doesn't change the angle it just moves the throttle body out a little bit. I installed a MD 5/16" spacer with no problem. I had to rotate the last pipe a little bit and the coupler did stretch in that direction a little but it works just fine.

Adding this would just move the throttle body out a little bit and I gurantee there's enough play to make this work. Worst case you cut a strip off the silicone coupler the width of the spacer and it would be the exact same overall lenght as before.
