throttle body spacers

are they worth getting? and with getting one, are the bolts coming out of the intake manifold long enough to have the throttle body and the spacer on it, or is there some kind of extension…

What are you hoping to accomplish by putting in a spacer?

Well as of now I’m looking to accomplish getting an answer to my question.

Then the answer is no. I thought you had a specific goal in mind, but obviously that is not the case.

EDIT: Crap. I am a jerk. Are you trying to convert your Integra to a carbureted system? If so, then it may help some, but it will all depend on the intake manifold.

ahahaha carbureted…lmaooooo…worst invention ever

Oo and no need for spacers bro

Dual carb setup on a type R in a DA would be HOTT

so spacers are only for carbureted motors?

Shitty e-bay type companies make them. They just don’t do anything that improves performance in any way. Honda engineers aren’t stupid. Of the goals they had to keep in mind when designing the car, any component of the car, these are the three most important that you should keep in mind when upgrading your car:

  1. Cost
  2. Emissions
  3. Comfort

Ask if something could be different and still meet those goals.

An exhaust could be louder, lighter and freer flowing from the factory but it would be expensive (more exotic light materials), might fail emissions (if the cat was removed) and would be loud.

However, a spacer could be built into the intake manifold or throttle body with minimal extra material (big picture), would not change emissions in any way and would do nothing to the comfort level even if they actually worked in the way companies claim they do. Honda didn’t design those things (IM, TB) differently because they work great as-is.

Another good tip-off is that no reputable companies make them. If there was even a shred of evidence that they worked, Skunk2 would be making one. There is no doubt about that.
