Thread: throttle body spacer...

x2, i don't know how thick these spacers in question are, but the outlaw kit does have a spacer for the throttle body, and you get

what was the point of your post? its a spacer that lessing heat from the head to the intake mani.

he wanted to know if they made one and they do. i dont know who that was directed to just incase you didnt read what it did i quoted you

It was directed at strattons post, it originally sounded like he was talking it down as to not really being a spacer, but now that I re-read it I understand what he was getting at.

Leave me alone, I'm still trying to wake up. Got back from Chicago at 5am this morning.

You Get Not Slack!!!

umm i think hes asking if the spacer increases the plenum volume like the jet, volant, etc spacers do, in which case the outlaw spacer does both increase plenum volume as well as reducing the intake air temps by reducing the heat soak from the manifold to the intake tube itself. it does not however "swirl" the air like the billet spacers sold elsewhere.

Reviving this thread. Apparently Outlaw is no longer around, I'm in need of a spacer for the throttle body only. Trying to follow in Vadim's footsteps.

cut one out of some OAK

I read a very recent thread about who still makes these... Let me see if I can find it.

I'm not sure if they have throttle body spacers though. =/

What combination are you trying to run? Is it a matching set (IM & TB)? If so, just grab the IM->TB gasket and use it as a guide to cut your own. Pick up a thick cutting board (not the cheap plastic ones but a solid composite one), trace the gasket and get to cuttin'. A jigsaw will work perfectly for the perimeter cut. A drill bit will bore out the bolt holes just fine. I'd suggest you use a TB gasket on either side of the spacer for final mounting.

If you don't want to do the labour, a machine shop would be able to cut this out for you for less then 50 dollhairs.

Also, depending on how thick you make the spacer, you may need to source some new hardware (bolts) from Lowes or Home Depot's car racing department.

Ah, yes. Greg V should still have some.

Edit: Nvm me, I was thinking about VE thermal gasket manifold spacers...
