throttlebody spacer

Has anyone tried to fabricate a throttlebody to intake spacer?? Seems to be a market for them on other vehicles.

it all depends on where you want your power our motors are effected greatly by intake length. i'm sure if you searched you would find some threads pertaining to this. i like the telescoping intake they use on the 787B....

Bad idea it would shift the power range lower, out of the rotaries shinning area.

is this a spacer maybe 1/4 a inch and has a disign on it to make the air become a cyclone type thing if it is when i had my truck i was going to get one but i found out that they are useless until you get up to 5000-8500 rpm and then even not much of a gain in hp

A TB spacer will do nothing. Resonant tuning takes place in the individual intake runners, not at the TB.

It's typical marketing hoopla.
It does very little for piston engines if anything, and I doubt it'll do anything for a rotary.
