31142, Corbin Spacer....what, where, how, who, bla bla bla Posted by a_miller_76, Aug-27-02 01:32 AM Okay, I've seen that several people on here have this mysterious "Corbin Intake Spacer"...I'm guessing that Corbin made these but I did a search on it and I can't find anything about it other than it being listed in a couple people's mods. What's up with this thing? I'm new here (relatively) so sorry if this is a repeat. Thanks!
31143, RE: Corbin Spacer....what, where, how, who, bla bla bla Posted by OZ_GS, Aug-27-02 03:01 AM Well I haven't been around long enough to know for sure but I guess Corbin used to produce them. They go between the upper and lower intake manifold and are made of a plexiglass type of material (phenolic I think). Its supposed to cool the air as it enters the cylinders is what I have read. I got mine from our FS board from a guy that never got around to installing it. As far as gains and such I can't tell you because i put mine on with the bored TB and polished intake. I don't think you can get them anymore unless you get lucky like I did... Chad

31145, RE: Corbin Spacer....what, where, how, who, bla bla bla Posted by a_miller_76, Aug-27-02 04:14 AM Thank you for your quick response. I will be purchasing one shortly (within the week). How much time and technical skill does it take to do this? I'm not a retard, but I'm no mechanic either...and I do have friends to help.
31146, RE: Corbin Spacer....what, where, how, who, bla bla bla Posted by Corbin, Aug-27-02 05:53 AM You do have to pull off the upper intake manifold and unhook everything connected to it. I think it took me 40 minutes take everything apart 45 minutes to put it all back together. There is nothing complicated about the install; it just takes time. Corbin '95 ESI-T HRC+FMIC+ETC...

31147, RE: Corbin Spacer....what, where, how, who, bla bla bla Posted by OZ_GS, Aug-27-02 06:27 AM The hardest part of the install was getting the EGR tube reconnected. We ended up having to take the tube off, bend it a bit, then reinstall it. That thing is STRONG! Other than that its cake. Chad
31148, RE: Corbin Spacer....what, where, how, who, bla bla bla Posted by a_miller_76, Aug-27-02 06:35 AM You should have blocked it and dropped it out altogether man ;)
31149, RE: Corbin Spacer....what, where, how, who, bla bla bla Posted by OZ_GS, Aug-27-02 09:09 AM I thought about that but I didn't want to deal with the check engine light and I wasn't prepared to block it off. This being my daily driver I couldn't just leave it off to go and get the stuff to block it. I probably will eventually. Chad
