Default Has anybody actually tapped into a Throttle Body Spacer?

I have my nitrous kit, but I'm starting to like the idea of spraying through a plate. If I can get a hold of a throttle body spacer cheap I'll just tap it.

My question is: Has anyone actually done it before? I hear people talk about it all the time, but I've never actually seen people do it. obviously it would be a lot more simple than the Harris Speed kit or others that have drilled holes all the way around the plate.

Let me know how you did yours(if you did do it successfully). Thanks.

lo, that is kind of funny, ya know, everyone has been saying that it can be done for years but nobody has done one yet? I guess that just proves the spacers are worthless!

You could do it, but if your nozzle sprays at an angle, it might cause some puddling if theres any obstruction caused by the plate. You could grind away the plate, to fix that problem, though.

i wouldnt do it..i could see when just shootin straight down it will go across and hit the other side. i think a nozzle that shoots it in the intake manifold would be better than this..or an actuall nitrous plate that has hole all around to distribute it better

Don't listen to naysayers! I would do it but I can't see buying a plate when my system works now. I would do it how is it gonna hurt! just make sure it is spraying into the middle of the intake?

You would have to angle the spray towards the TB butterfly into the IM somehow
