Has anyone ever tryed on of there ?
Figured i would try one of these so we could all see what the difference would be.
Every time i fill up my tank i reset the trip so i can monitor my mileage. I average 244 or so for the 16-ish gallons before the Check Gage light comes on.
After installing the TB spacer i made it to 275 before the check light came on.
30 more miles out of my tank makes the $90 worth it to me.
in theroy it gives you a longer intake runner, which should give you a little more power... if you wan to try it and dont want to pay the "$90" make one out of wood.
One tank? Not very scientific and likely a result of other factors. You'll be back to 244 in due course. I've never seen ANY proof that a TBS anything to fuel injected vehicles, and particularly Explorers. Even self-professed "Mileage King", Aldive ditched his TBS a long time ago when he realized they do squat.
Sorry man, but you could have done better things with the $90.
p.s. nice job waking up an 8 year old thread (almost to the day). I think that's a record.
Are you talking about a "Throttle Body Spacer" (like he was) or an "Upper Intake Spacer" (like I think you might be)?
I bought a throttle body spacer, not an intake spacer

If you can, try and mount it before the MAF sensor. I am interested how much effect it would have on the MAF sensor and drivability. The reason for the spacer was to apply a supercharged or Ram Air effect that would force air in to the cylinders. I have heard good and bad things about them. It's you money, spend it like you want.

i was thinkin a throttle body spacer, but you could make a intake spacer out of wood if you want
