Do they work?

 

I've mostly heard them being used on Jeep applications, so my experience is limited. But, they've improved gas mileage.

 

Friend of mine put it on his 6th gen V6 Accord. Don't really think it does much.

 

I have it in my car... Helix Power Tower TB spacer (old version) It's actually saved me a few miles of gas and it suppose to improve hp y 1-2, maybe 3... but its not like your gonna feel it or anything lol...

The thing i love about it so much is that it was a "pshhh.." sound like a blow off valve... Makes it sound like a supercharger/turbocharged sound...

The negative thing about this is that it sticks your tb out an inch.. so it'll also push your intake out an inch as well... i have a v2 on my car, and it is against my inner fender wall.. i have to cushion it so that it doesnt hit it...

But I'm glad i got it, got many compliments from my friend about it...

 

mine's coming in in about 3-4days... i'll let u guys know wut i think as well =D its the older, loud version as well. kiet, do u have a v6 or i4? i heard it doesnt sound as loud/nice on the 4bangers

 

I have a V6 accord, loud version..

I didnt mention this before but i guess i should... Differences between version 1 (Old loud one) compared to version 2 (new one, no sound), based on 6gen accord.

Version 1 (old style)
- Has sound (psh....), can hear air being release anytime after 3k rpm
-1-2 (maybe 3) hp
-increase in feul mileage
-opening has a swirl like teeth

Version 2 (new one)
-no sound
-2-3 hp
-increase in feul mileage
-inside as no swirl like teeth, completely smooth.

btw: I am not sure if you know this or not or if its already provided in your package, but you will also need to bolt.. your stocks ones wont fit becuase its too short...

am not sure if the the 4bangers have sound or not... and i am not sure if they have a spacer for 7gens..

 

id rather spend money on a hondata IM gasket, keep the IM cool and help prevent heat soak.

 

well thats your money and you can spend your money how ever you want.. I am not going to flame you on your you should and should not use your money.. vice versa....

 

ya....i've seen clips on AV6s and it sounds just amazing.... i've never heard a review for ppl with I4s that have done this mod.....i'll let u guys kno, hopefully it comes in tomorrow =D

 

im just saying they are useless, leave those to domestics. there was a guy on h-t a few years ago when spacers was the new craze and he dyno tested a tb spacer and they didnt yield nada, infact he lost tq.

im just telling you they are worthless. a hondata intake manifold gasket is a similar mod that works in a similar part of the engine as the spacer but doesnt yield hp with one of the most misconceived tornado turbine, whirly twirly, air effects but with simple logic, keep the IM cooler, prevent heat soak, keep the air cooler, retain more hp.

theres a dyno spread on h-t with hondata IM gaskets yielding 6-10whp.
