1ZZ Throttle Body Spacer


Found this on eBay.

How would this spacer perform it we were to couple it with a 1ZZ TB on a 1NZ engine? TIA

Doesn't seem like it would be worth the price tag for maybe 1-2 HP even if it does work.

Umm really cause a nst underdrive pulley is listed for $112 shipped from microimageonline.com and only add like 1-2hp's ands the tb spacer cost less and will get you the same hp gains I plan on installing a 1zz tb and will give this spacer a try for S's and G's

yeah but you have to understand what the underdrive/lightweight pulleys do to understand it. You're basically swapping out a heavy pulley for one with less rotational mass..

im using the Tc tb spacer with the 1zz throttle body. since theres a diy for switching the chips on the tb's im going to swap the stock chips onto the Tc tb cuz the Tc tb definitely had greater gains than the 1zz tb
