Default HR throttle body spacers...

The idea behind these is to allow nitrous nozzle mounting without drilling into any of the stock components. Could be used for meth injection or anything else like that if so desired.

Would anyone be interested in them if they were made available for purchase?

I'd also be willing to make a set available for FREE if someone wanted to dyno test them on an N/A application, to see if they do make a difference by themselves.

Nice for Nitrous and meth but otherwise I dont see how they would help. There is no bottleneck there.

Thats the only reason I am interested in them, have no expectation of actual power gains just with the spacers. Car feels better to me, but i'm sure it's all in my head.

If someone wanted to dyno test a pair for me, it can be arranged.

I just purchased and installed the Invidia Gemini TD exhaust and will be doing a dyno run in the not too distant future. If you want to send me a pair to dyno, let me know.

I had a buddy who had a TB spacer drilled for nitrous application, just as you described above. It's actually a pretty clean set up, although I never went that route because most manufacturers recommend that you place your nozzle 6-12" away from the TB. I actually have his TB spacer in my garage just sitting there with the ZEX nozzle already in place.


Also, TB spacers have been dyno tested before and have shown no gains whatsoever. If you were to see any gains, they'd actually be "phantom gains" from the plenum cooling down as you installed the spacer. So the culprit for the "gains" was the temperature difference. Save your money and time for N/A applications.
