GE8 Throttle Body Spacer
 
I'm curious if anybody knows of a retailer that sells throttle body spacers. If not does anybody have a surface layout of the intake plentum to the TB? I could have my machine shop make one. Thanks

Edit: After some research I found that the GD fit has a Bosch DBW TB... does the GE have this same TB? Also can anybody confirm that the CR-Z has the same TB? I'm currently searching for a picture of the TB to manifold gasket or a p/n from Honda. My plan is to make a nitrous fogger plate, I just need to know what channels of the TB to manifold need to remain open. If anybody stumbles across a picture or the p/n I'd appreciate the help. Thanks

TB Spacers are only effective (and barely at that) on TBI and Carb vehicles.

I totally respect that statement. I was planning on making a nitrous fogger plate out of a TB spacer. Even if I find one I'm going to have it milled down so that it doesn't affect the intake spacing too much. Thanks for lookin out though!

Thank goodness. +rep. I had my nitrous fogger mounted in my DIY intake about 6" from the TB. Never gave me any problems and even activating at 2550 rpms I never managed to puddle up and blow the plastic manifold to pieces. However, A TB spacer would work great. Just a warning, those $30-40 fill-ups start adding up quick and the bottle always seems to be empty when you need it most.
