one of my friends got a throttle body spacer to go along with his intake for a 4runner. this gave him significant power gains and throttle response...not to mention gas mileage. has anyone heard of a company that makes one for our car? maybe a camry tbs will work...

 

B to the U to the M to the PIZZY

 

How much is signifigant and how was it measured? Butt-dynos dont mean a thing. How much mileage did he pick up?

 

Speak for your own butt, mine dynos just fine tyvm.

 

I've already made them for the scion. I'm still trying to get a dyno result of the basline before and after, but I will post them as soon as they're ready.

Already checked the fitment quality and everything is looking great. As for gains, I've gotten a really good feeback/response as far as that matters, but I'd rather show proof of it when its ready.

Here's a link to the other ones I've made for my car and the 350Z, if you want to check to quality of my work.



Here's a dyno sheet, with my car running on a dirty maf:


And here's the one I made for the scion, which has not yet been sent out for anodizing.
btw, these will come with all the necessary hardware, 3 bolts and two oring gasket.

by any chance you could tap a hole in that for, say, hidden NOS setup??

 

def interested in on eof those if they work hurrry up get those dyno results

 

Deffinetly watching to see how this helps it breath. Now if someone would make an intake manifold to replace ours.

 

also interested to see these dyno results, i'm notgonna get one anytime soon, but will think about it down the line, if i see some decent results

 

If you ever need a test car, let me know. We can see how it works on a supercharged tC. I will even provide before and after dynos.

 

Watching

 

Very interesting indeed.

also watching

 

can someone explain how a spacer will affect power? I only see the added length as an area to promote heatsoak :-/

 

I was wondering the same thing, but if he can prove it, then I will buy it.

 

If someone OUTSIDE of a sponsored guy... like one of us who has access to a reputable dyno can run this... I'd like to see it... an independant dyno would do well...

I've searched and read and read and anyone who is not selling TBS's says that they do nothing to increase power or economy... Popular Mechanics, the EPA, and many other reputable and solid organizations have tested and confirmed that there are little to no gains...

On a old-school carburated engine, I could see the advantage, as the fuel and air can have a bit more space to atomize, but just spinning air into our intake manifold and up to the injectors, it seems a little neccesary to prove...

I hope one of the guys that ran our independant intake dyno comparisons can pick this up... then we'll know. Until then...

Call me senor skeptical.

 

WDS, I deffinetly agree. Hopefully independent proff can be provided.

 

watching!

 

 

AEBS makes an intake manifold for the tC, they just won't sell it. Jotech has it.
