goto my wesite i have picks of where my nozzle i have exterior pics and interior TB pics. www.crappydayscamaro.cz28.com

I would think that farther away from the intake would be best, as to provide more travel for the air/fuel mixture to MIX better.

mine is right behind the maf sensor

I offered to make an aluminum throttle body spacer so that MAYBE a nozzle could be mounted in it,But a few people ruined the project with thier *****ing and complaining because it had a 100$ price tag due to it being CNC machined and out of aluminum. My suggestion would be to get a spacer or tap it into the throttle body somewhere, so that it wont interfere with the throttle body blade movement.

Me too. Alot of mechanic types have told me that it might have been better to drill into the intakle manifold as close to the TB as possible to kep the mix further away from the MAF....I don't really know how much difference it would make, I might try it one day.

Wet kits must be just after the MAF.
Mine is drilled straight into the throttle body.
Misterjuice's buick was drilled straight into his upper intake manifold on a dry kit.

I'd personally stick with drilling and tapping the TB.
Any machine shop/ nitrous place will be able to show the best place right away.
Also print out some pic's of our set ups and bring it to those shops

Aluminum would defeat the purpose. It would transfer the heat from the intake manifold to the TB, which is why Dee made Poly spacers to insulate the throttle body. I'd go with one of his anyway.

So drill it into the throttle body, but I'm going to get a spacer anyway, especially to block off the coolant lines going to the TB.

one LAST time...the primary use for the spacer was NITROUS..i had no intentions of blocking off the coolant passages and i really dont care about the cooling properties of a plastic spacer.i dont beleive they do MUCH if ANYTHING ANYHOW. I cant beleive ive had to re-iterate the reason for MY spacer 3 times. SINCE I was making one for MYSELF i OFFERED thats it. NO where did i claim to be producing spacers for thier COOLING properties for the intake. the whole friggin intake is aluminum INCLUDING the throttle body...i just wanted to keep the trend going. Remind me to NEVER offer jack**** to anyone on this board again,because the knowitalls will turn it into something its not. IM a nobody on this board and it shows considering if it were one of the hotshots or knowitalls i wouldnt have gotten the smart assed comments, and with all those comments made it has made me wonder why some IDIOT LS1,LT1 and Others; owners sometimes use an *aluminum* throttle body spacer.

I understand it can be fustrating sometimes, but lets keep it civil ok? [img]smile.gif[/img]

**Jason** · 03-13-2003, 08:28 PM

Frustrated is an UNDER statement...think of me as the Disgruntled Postal worker of CamaroV6/FirebirdV6.com.

When I can figure out how to reproduce the spray bars in N.O.S carb spacers..my spacer will be an easy way to hook a wet kit up to the car without having to drill holes in HIGHLY expensive parts possibly messing them up (which did happen to my friend). At that point I dont care about the "COOLING" properties of the plastic spacer designed to keep things cool NOT Nitrous injection. :rolleyes:

**Tiago** · 03-13-2003, 08:57 PM

yes I understood that part, and if you can fabricate such part more power to you [img]smile.gif[/img]

the spray bars will be tricky

**6shooter** · 03-13-2003, 11:44 PM

yeah man sorry if I sounded demeaning man I meant no disrespect, its just that I want to get a poly spacer to keep stuff cooler too, even if it is only 2 or 3 degrees. The nitrous nozzle can be plumbed anywhere as far as I'm concerned, just that like you said, I didn't want to drill the TB and end up messing it all up.

**12secondv6** · 03-14-2003, 02:32 AM

Damn man, don't get all bent out of shape.
The traditional use of a spacer is to seperate the TB from the intake manifold to avoid heat soak and maybe gain some lost power.
I understand what you are doing and nothing is wrong with it.
Personally I would spend the time/ money to make it out of the phenolic stuff or I have heard of some old school hot rodders using some type of wood (doesn't last anywhere near as long but prevents the most heat transfer).

I would want to get the most out of what my set up was.

The metal spacer of course will work but if I did a spacer I would also want the possible n/a gains too.

No arguements in the nitrous section, constructive debates are fine though [img]smile.gif[/img]

**6shooter** · 03-14-2003, 11:19 AM

Thanks for the guidance James ;)

I've never heard of the wood thing but it sounds like a good idea. I just dunno about popping the hood and having a tree in there. This has nothing to do with nitrous anymore but I think I know where the nozzle is going...just one question...
Can we get a consensus on whether it's better to place the nozzle closer or farther from the intake manifold?
