Default K&N intake and throttle body spacer

I have a 2001 tundra 4x4 and i have installed a K&N intake and i was wondering if you could add a throttle body spacer with that too? I am asking because i have heard that you can't but i dont see why not you can't. so does anyone know if you can have both throttle body spacer and the intake?

As long as you have enough space between intake elbow and fan shroud because the spacer will push elbow closer to shroud.

sometimes the after market cold air intake's, don't leave you enough room for the spacer.
you would have to ask someone that has the same exact set up.
or buy it, and see for yourself.
they are costly, so i suggest you ask 1st.
it might same you some money.
i know mine doesn't have the room.2005 4.7 VVTI V8

Throttle body spacer is a waste of money I wouldn't buy it. Now a manifold spacer is a different question.. I would be curious to see if that would work..

TB spacer has been proven to do nothing. by dyno

I have a 2006 DC 4.7 with both the K&N cold air intake and the Poweraid throttle body spacer installed. There is the room for it however its tight.
There is a little less than a 1cm of clearance from the fan to the intake elbow, so be careful.

I trimmed my K&N intake tube for it to fit, works fine. I don't think the throttle body spacer does anything HP or mileage-wise, but it sure sounds cool when you close the throttle slowly! (sounds almost like a turbo spool) Only paid like $60 bucks for it, so I could care less haha

What type of Dyno was used? What were the conditions?

I love the uneducated forum members who bash products they clearly know nothing about.

You should probably stick to your "Stock family ride" and stay away from the performance part's as you seem to know little to nothing.

Default Re: K&N intake and throttle body spacer

TundraSport, you did the same thing, you're given' the other guy a hard time about. Consumer Reports did a review of Trottle body spacers years ago and they do about nothing.....Moving the throtle body away from the cold air tube adds nothing. As the guy also said if it was a manifold spacer THAT would be different, as it lifted the carb/injection throttlebody off of the manifold which gave it a cooler charge and more power at higher rpms.....

But hey it's your money and your opinion so have at it, I for one would spend my dollars on things that work and in an rpm range that makes sense....just my .02, CSM-H
