66471, Power Aid Throttle Body Spacer??? Check It Out
Posted by darosa4561, Jan-13-04 02:24 PM
Ok At my job(advance Auto Parts) we got this new catalog for PowerAid. Its a Throttle Body Spacer that Spins the air. Well im kind of secpticle of the hole Spining air thing, but i was thinking of the spacer reduceing heat, their for increase HP. Now they dont have a listing for us but they have one for the 91-99Jeep Cheeroke 4.0L. So itll be 60mm and since the TB fits this must fit. Only Thing im wondering about is the throttle Body Cable. Also is buy magnaflow, they make good products. If Indy every comes out with thier manifold anytime soon ill get a 60mmTB and dyno it then add this bitch and see if thier are any real Power Gains.

GHEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These things are so last year! they rank right up there with the "Tornado electric Turbo".

you will not "reduce heat" by having a TB spacer. you need to cool the intake air by matters of degrees, not 1/10ths of degrees.

dont waste your money.

It would do some good if it were placed closer to the head, but a TB spacer is worthless.

some people are making plenum spacers for the 3/s community which drastically reduce underhood/manifold temps by dissapating heat. i forgot what they are made of, but these would be hella cool. it pretty much goes where the gaskets go.

From what I understand gains with those things are only found on vehicles that don't have direct port fuel injection. These vehicles have trouble getting a good even mixture of gas and air and the swirling effect helps fix this.

if you want to "swirl air, do it right before the fuel injectors as it goes into the head. it would help mix fuel even more. hell, thats has gas turbines work (although different same basic principle) swirl the air to mix the air/ fuel together.

if its cooling the intake manifold you want, you want a Corbin spacer. goes between the upper and lower intake pleniums
