GI: 1nz/1zz TB spacer

Throttle body spacer that fits both 1zz and 1nz TB's and can be made to order with a tap for a nitrous nozzle.

I need to guage interest on the first order so i can create accurate pricing.

I need to know who would be interested, and an approximate amount that people would be willing to pay.

I'm glad we are generating interest in this, hopefully we can add another performance part to the 1NZ-FE and 1ZZ Arsenal.

Can we specify who's fogger we want to use as there are critical design differences between brands?

Can you design one that smoothly transitions the 1zz throttle body to the 1nz intake manifold. It seems like there's an abrupt transition for those who are putting the 1zz throttle bodies on their Yaris.

I suppose you could, as long as it was provided to us when you ordered it, because we need to make sure the threads match perfectly so when you screw in the fogger, its facing the right way. We were planning on using a right-angle fogger.

I dont think I know quite what you mean.
do you mean a middle ground? a slight restriction on the 1zz tb while still more flow than the 1nz TB?

or like a port match?

If I'm not mistaken, the 1zz TB is a larger opening size. It is being bolted to the 1nz intake manifold which has a smaller opening. I figured that an abrupt interface from larger diameter to smaller diameter would cause unwanted turbulence at the transition.

My question was... can your adapter plate taper from the larger diameter opening to the smaller diameter opening to lessen the turbulence?

Noogie may be on to something with that low turbulence idea.

What do you think Alex?

He is on to something, otherwise all the spacer will do to the guys with the 1zz tb is allow the air to come at the intake manifold at a higher velocity and when it enters, it would be more turbulent than it is without a spacer. the spacer could/would actually cause a larger disturbance to the entering air.

taper would pretty much be required for those of us with the 1zz tb.

I could alter it or make a different one that did that, but I think that the opening on the Intake mani actually matches that of the 1zz TB, I actually didnt look at the size differences of the TB and intake mani, so if someone else who has recently done the mod who actually looked could tell us, that would be awesome.
