Ok that's it. Im going with a throttle body spacer 1st, then a bigger throttle body, and then when I get the money, an intake manifold. Then later Im gonna get a cam and cam gear.

 

how thick are these spacers? an inch or what? i'm currious cause i'm running a cai and im wondering what adding the spacer will do to the hook up and alignment of the cai...
and i'm just enough for a machinest that i can make my own, once i know how thick and what not to make it....

 

Yeah, you're gonna run into alittle problem if you get the Airaid spacer. It's about an inch thick, and since most CAI are pretty tight fits down through the hole you may have to modify the pipe alittle bit. I have an airaid spacer and did have a CAI, but I prefer the SRI to be honest. I'm in the process of getting rid of my spacer, as I just had my throttle body and intake manifold port and polished. But, as Street Sniper has suggested, I may grind it out to the same size as the tb andmanifold.

From just the throttle body spacer I noticed that the car felt alittle stronger down low, but I have a feeling some of the power up higher had been sacrificed.

 

Holy thread from the dead...

 

yea, sorry i think i may have resurected the dead beatn horse...
well thats interesting... gaining down low and giving up on the top.. considering that im really more interested in leaving the line in a hurry, rather than screaming down the highway at 115, it might be something to play with... considering that when my vtec kicks in i can get these old hard crappy tires to squeel like a pig in 1st... but its doggy and slow from idle to around 4k... it might just help me a bit...
