Throttle body spacer

[trac power]

my friend who got a new for ranger told me that you can put a spacer between your throttle body and intake manifold and it will give u more mid range power. If this is true what is a good thickness to get for a spacer. and what kind of performance should i exspect.

it definatly does help and i think that the one my buddy got was around 50mm? dont quote me on that but im pretty sure, as for performance you can expect a little bit better accelleration off the line as well as on the highway, they also make a sound that i find annoying but others think it sounds like a turbo under heavy accelleration, if you can get one for around 50 bucks its a great project that doesnt take alot of time or know-how to finish

I ask this few weeks ago, the feedback from the forum was that you will not see that much performance and it cost about 117$ the one that i look on ebay.. if you see one for under 70$ let me know whats the improvement on!!!

Sorry, did quote ya! That's the first time I have ever heard of a spacer helping on a stock engine. Maybe what he got was a throttle body, since you're indicating a 50mm size. THAT would make some difference.

Throttle body spacer won't do squat. However an intake spacer will increase low end torque when combined with a more freely flowing exhaust.

So is it worth it or is it 2 much money 4 so little performance

....2 much money 4 so little performance

You nailed it.

Given that general consensus is they do NOTHING, so replace "little performance" with "no performance" and your comment above is bang on.

oh okay sorry haha i just realized that his engine is stock yea you can find them for pretty cheap at autopartsway.com or whatever it might be a canadian site though, you're beter off to go with getting a cone and the adapter for your intake because it'll be the same price

as said above...spacers are junk.

but yes putting in a new throttle body, then you got something.
