BuMp for another satisfied customer!!! hadda bring this thread back after such a noticeable difference in MPG.
also these are now available for purchase through eBay>>> http://www.ebay.com/itm/INFINITI-G35...#ht_616wt_1270
holy f*ck, my throttle body spacer NOTICEABLY improved my gas mileage!!! hahahaha, real talk... i had to burn some gas for HIN yesterday, needed to be at 1/4 tank to show inside venue. so i normally get around 150 miles at half a tank, after the TB spacer though i got over 180 and that was while purposely driving the car hard and trying to burn gas. i was pissed because the one time i wanted to burn gas the car was refusing to do it, LOL just thought i'd share. as for performance, it obviously doesn't compare to my recent mods as of late(cams, 1pc cf drive-shaft) but i will say that in high RPM the throttle feels more responsive and the engine seems more eager. another mod discovered by OCG35 "Mike" that delivers, i'm gonna put one on my Wife's car and see how it affects her more stock style setup.
Were ALL variables equal?
Nope, I can guarantee they were not.
Anyways, if you feel it gave you more HP/MPG/***** length, more power to you, as long as you are happy with it.
But it didn't do any of the above. Well, the length thing I can't say, who knows?

Have you done extensive testing of throttle body spacers? Just curious why you'd make such a bold claim.
thanks Marcus, it's cool though. people are always really quick to write things off. there are still people out there that don't believe in plenum spacers either, i'm sure. i was just always curious about this mod and was EXTREMELY skeptical for the longest time, hence why it was one of the last things for me to try out. i do trust in Mike's views though, so i never wrote it off. i just wanted to support an item, i've had a good experience with. i have no vested interest w/the company, i'm not starting a group buy or anything. just posting my honest review and backing up a trusted member on a mod that has received a ton of scrutiny in the past.
i cant thanks enough i did this mod, around 2200 rpm it really does kick in and make a noticeable difference. Obviously nothing crazy, but for being only 40$ and taking five minutes to put on, its for sure worth it.
Intersting reading in here. Thank you to everyone who took the time to give a review after actually having personal experience with the mod.
This is something the truck guys always vow that it makes power, but like OP I don't really understand how this would help...but after reading all the reviews might have to give this a shot..
while this is open though, you guys seem knowledgeable, Could any of you help me decide if i need or should get a throttle body coolant bypass valve and or tell me what its use really is? I understand to an extent,but whats its purpose really,like the the pros and cons? Thanks in advance
