Blehmco's throttle body spacer is good for some noticeable increase in power. I put it on yesterday, and it was a breeze. I just had to buy gasket paper and make 2 gaskets and lenghten the throttle cable some.
So, if you're wondering if you should buy it for around $40 or so...I give it a thumbs up.

 

next time... Put up More power (VE)

 

What does the TB spacer actually do?

 

G-i-v-e-s-- y-o-u-- m-o-r-e-- p-o-w-e-r, jk. it, uh.... damn, hey MATT!

 

If I put this on, will my CAI still fit? I have the ebay brand...

 

Take em off, and again power increase. Repeat until 300hp.

Plastics spacer between exhaust manifold and pipe gives 2x more pwr.

And btw, the pwr increase is always real in the doctors wallet...

 

It fit on my warpspeed CAI, and there's no reason it wouldn't fit on yours.
the spacer is only 3/8" thick, so it doesn't move the intake much.
If it doesn't, you can always take a hacksaw to one end of your CAI piping and remove 1/4" of it.

 

I have the CAI made by Jeff so I dont know what others might fit. Lemme git some pics real quick

This looks simple, why doesn't it work on a VG? Why does it work at all?

 

It would work on the VG more than likely, its just that Matt has made it for a VE.

 

Where can I buy this spacer? I went to Blehmco's web page and did not see it...

TIA.

 

PM the name in green up above.

 

Shoot me a PM or email (sales@mattblehm.com) on them. I haven't had time to put them on my website yet. coming soon.

 

Hey matt....What is the spacer made from?

If you don't mind giving up your secret...

 

fiberglass impregnated plastic of some sort.. I forget exactly now.. it's not cheap, I'll tell you that!

 

That's what i thought it was....I think i have a 5' by 10' sheet of it at work.

 

You might as well start the group deal now.

 

Better not...I need my job more than i need a tb spacer..

 

Psss...it's like, $40! talk about , it's worth the money. i just need to test it with the flywheel too!!

 

What kind of horsepower that we can actually expect to gain using this mod?

TIA.

 

How/ why does this work ?

 

I'm also not clearly seeing how this will give any increase in HP. Matt could you explain please.

 

Same question here. That's why I ask about what kind of power can be gained from this setup.

 

Bump Bump, You there Matt? If you explain how it gains power, & I agree with your explanation. I may be interested in buying one

 

i was reading up on it and i saw a dyno chart of a tbi spacer and it took temps down 11 degress F and added 8.6hp with proven dyno charts. that might answer your question. there is a "helix" type one that ive seen made for other cars that swirl the air in. of course those say they gain like 125 hp lol but im sure it lower temps are the main help in hp gain.

matt you making one for the VG too?? ill buy one.

Bump, Still Curious. Any Dyno Sheets?

 

Whats up with an IM phenolic spacer??

 

make some, i'll buy one.

 

I can see it, Outlaw Engineering had them for my old PGT, I saw a few at club meets and owners liked them. Just a couple more inches of cold before the heat.
