What it does is increase the velocity of the air entering the throttle body. If you have a adequate Air Filter with a funnel getting cold fresh air from a front Splitter, yes, it does give a little more power. Not much, but noticeable power increase. It depends how you install it and what you use to help it reach its goal.
Its like having a neibour next door driving tundra with trying all little things you dont have time for.without guessing. Thanks man This little throttle thing didnt give me rest,because it says it gives you that missing throttle response before 2000-2500 revolutions on tundras. I drive it every day,i feel that every time Stupid ads almost convinced me buying it. Dude you saving my time and $. Thanks again.😊
IT's funny how people say open air intake does nothing, but a drop in filter will be an improvement. Boring out your throttle body is an improvement, but not a spacer. Other than at standing traffic idle, these will help prevent heat soak, at the minimum. Worse case is no peak HP gains, but you will maintain HP under full throttle. Dyno is for show, time trials is for go.
Thank u 4 ur honesty i loved it, and u r right works they work with carburetors because they help the air and fuel stay together. with throttle body injection all that goes through the spacer is air
If the air intake system is a straw. You just made the straw longer. The fins on the throddle body obstruct air flow and make it more turbulent. I would predict this would decrease overall performance. Want to increase air flow. Reduce the length of the air intake tube & increase diameter.
Used one to make a custom fogger plate for my Nitrous system LOL. I didn't like the idea of Drilling permanent holes in my new intake manifold and nobody made a fogger plate for my Tundra at the time.
I just wondering what happens when You give as much air the engine needs without restriction ?Is the cpu will give more fuel or runs leaner and more efficient?
5.7s have ACIS Acoustically Controlled Induction System that controls the airflow into the intake already at different RPMS so you're wasting money with a spacer
I had a avalanche I put one in and saw a 1sec faster 0 to 60, that's what made me look into doing it on my 4L 4runner and my 5.7L tundra, so did anyone check the 0 to 60 stats???
Snake oil I call it. With on the computer control and how hard the auto makers are trying to get all the power and MPG if that worked it would have one on it already
Giant waste of money on basically anything even remotely new. Supposedly they help on vehicles with throttle body injection but that hasn't been used in decades.
i remember i use to have the air raid throttle spacer in my Last truck the only thing I use to like was how it whistled and that was it, but I'm with you I thing it's a waste of money
Thanks for the video! I have a 2014 Tundra, added an S&B intake and a cat back turn down exhaust, but haven't installed the TBS, but I want to try it out to see if there are any gains to be found. I'll get back to update on the sound and gains. If you know about the noise my intake and exhaust make I doubt I'll hear much of anything. I've added a throttle commander as well, which is also a loved or hated item. That instant Go, off the line is ridiculous when paired with intake and exhaust noise.. lol too fun..
Its most likely the throttle body gasket. I changed mine out from the stock honey comb gasket, to the hollow option. Genuine toyota part. Contact sales@sparksparts.com to inquire about the “hollow (non honey comb) throttle body gasket. Took care of my whistle. Use promo code TundraDude34 and save 5%
Put throttle body spacer on and got 8' pounds of torque at the wheel and only one horsepower, When you add it with other stuff in the grand scheme of things 8' pounds of target the wheels pretty good
Wrong that is not how an spacer works on a intake track. Read how carb spacers work. You will quickly see why there is zero point of this on FI. The fact they don’t work has nothing to do with the engine management.
all electronic controlled so seemed obvious this would not do wonders.HP's cost money their is no shortcut to power vs ratio. either go lighter or add power.good vid ty
The volant throttle body spacer is not effective I started with a Airaid and wanted to try the other design the Air Aid is the only one I noticed a difference in mileage and low-end torque you do lose high-end horsepower at wide open throttle typically one to two miles to the gallon better fuel mileage
so you need to get the trd radator cap and trd oil cap I got mine today really nice parts. install tip put the trd sticker on after you put the cap on the truck. F me it tighten up upside-down and I needed to get another for my OCD. you know how it is.🤔
$ 57 US but I live in Canada so like a million dollars . It is a nice peace to have on the truck. And get this I put it on my wife's venza and she isn't even excited. Must be a man thing. Keep up the good work I enjoy the videos and thank your wife it takes a lot of you time.
wonder if anyone has ever put those spacers to the dyno test. now a question off subject. it's time again to replace wipers on my tundra. I do this every spring after the winter. am thinking of going with the Toyota ones again but looking at others to maybe try. do you have a recommendation of wipers?
I've had the rain-x, bosh and settled on the Michelin wind shield wipers. They are the best I've tried yet. They are about $14.00 to $15.00 apiece. Keep on truckin dude.
Zlatko Porobic did u unplug your batterie for 15-20 min after intake install. If you didnt then you wasted your money. The ecu in the tundra has to be disconnected from 🔋 for 15-20 min to reset. That is the only reason you didnt see any gains. When you unplug the 🔋 it relearns the mafs settings giving you more power tq and better fuel economy

Glad you confirmed my thoughts, was considering trying it out again but glad I watched this first! Thanks!
+VCG Construction no problem! Save your money for a new exhaust system 😁😁😁

Lol happy to help
Did you actually Dyno test it before making this video? Dyno test it and see if it backs up your claim.

Dyno, I got 4 rwhp on my Toyota Tundra. Gained 1mpg highway.
+John Overfield not bad at all!
Well within the margin of error (for an eight cylinder Tundra). Statistically insignificant.
Hey John, what brand did you buy?
Thank u 4 ur honesty i loved it, and u r right works they work with carburetors because they help the air and fuel stay together. with throttle body injection all that goes through the spacer is air
Go to 3:00 to hear the answer
Nothing but a marketing gimmick as far as I'm concerned.

How about my '05 4.7l?

+CamperMike exactly
If a pedal commander saved so much fuel it would have one on it already
@@jamestranter7568 It doesnt save any mpg.
Giant waste of money on basically anything even remotely new. Supposedly they help on vehicles with throttle body injection but that hasn't been used in decades.
+Mike Dubiansky yea its a gimmick
i remember i use to have the air raid throttle spacer in my Last truck the only thing I use to like was how it whistled and that was it, but I'm with you I thing it's a waste of money
+enrique avila i think i just hate whistles lol
TundraDude34 I personally don't but I rather to pay 120 dls in something more helpful because that's what I paid for it
+enrique avila yea i hear ya
It works with an engine tune.

I have a whine coming from my throttle body and I don’t even have a spacer on my platinum. Does yours do the same?

Give it to me
Big difference on my 2013 tundra I have the velont intake with the velont throttle spacer big difference it really works I was surprised 😮
Money well spent then!
What's the difference
Put throttle body spacer on and got 8' pounds of torque at the wheel and only one horsepower, When you add it with other stuff in the grand scheme of things 8' pounds of target the wheels pretty good

I think they are worthed. It does increase a little in low end torque, and you can use it for nitrous or water methanol for extra power
increase...
+Alfredo Calpito hmmm i like it

+Mitch Reive thanks for being a long time subscriber 👍🏼
If it did all those wonderful things why wouldn't they do it from the factory..., just my 2 cents
+Brendan Orr i agree
Never thought it was worth my money or the 5 minutes to install.... Lol
+James Miyake lol no way

I do this every spring after the winter. am thinking of going with the Toyota ones again but looking at others to maybe try. do you have a recommendation of wipers?
Bosch Icon 2 are great, might try Scrubblades next. I buy from AdvanceAuto online usually and use an online coupon to pickup in store
+Edward Blotnicki i left the toyota ones for the rain x ones and came right back to the toyota ones lol. Im sticking with those
I've had the rain-x, bosh and settled on the Michelin wind shield wipers. They are the best I've tried yet. They are about $14.00 to $15.00 apiece. Keep on truckin dude.
+Gary Swope 👍🏼👍🏼
PIAA Si-Tech Silicone Wiper Blades FTW!
How is your engine bay so clean? Do you wash it?
No way that little thing will help. What a rip.
You should do the best spray on bedliner video
+Chris Benko next truck
That one is to skinny . Need a thicker one. I have a helix thicker one and I have to say it does make a noticeable torque mpg difference
gearhead 400 Toyota couldn’t figure out to put another .25in on the intake tube after the millions they spent on the engine design.
did the same thing with afe stage 2 CAI. did not do anything, lost low end power and lost mpg ( logically), 3 months later sold it and lost $70
+Zlatko Porobic its crazy these things are still out
Zlatko Porobic did u unplug your batterie for 15-20 min after intake install. If you didnt then you wasted your money. The ecu in the tundra has to be disconnected from 🔋 for 15-20 min to reset. That is the only reason you didnt see any gains. When you unplug the 🔋 it relearns the mafs settings giving you more power tq and better fuel economy
zosophnkey I disconnected batt. before install. it was off for an hr. did not make any difference for me.
Zlatko Porobic. wow thats wierd....5.7 or 4.6 tundra
zosophnkey 5.7
We're can I get that specer?
+Jorge Cervantes google search
4 yr update?
Never even heard of that device
+glarafern you arent missing much
nice video tundra dude
+STEVE FERMON 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
good video.
+Torte B thanks
What cold air intake you have ?
Looks like the TRD pro intake
They work really good IF you know nothing about engines.
Have you tried the Pedal Commander Throttle Response Controller?
It’s awesome
Garbage..leave your truck the F alone
