As a disclaimer I make NO claims to anything I engineer and design that I share on this thread. It is only one members DIY project and nothing more. If there are similarities with other works it may only be by coincidence and not meant as coping another designs. I do ask that unless someone has made what I picture and have tested using tools or equipment capable of showing information and results that we all keep this thread as intend for entertainment only and not technical. Thank you.
Well not that I look recently but at least last summer no vendor offered a Throttle body spacer direct application for my 2.5 Skyactive engine and at the time it was a royal PIA to try to confirm any other spacer available that might fit from even our forums vendors CS and JBR to which I have talked to both of them many times regarding this and few other projects.
I needed a spacer primarily for my water /meth system and also to have an extra threaded port to monitor another area of IAT's. Oh and one more item to mount but I will save that for another time to talk about.
So I also wanted to clean up my TB and thought I would check out what was already available performance applicated for my 2018 2.5 SA engine. However with again no luck finding any vendor offering one I purchased a recycled TB and dissembled it and begun porting enlarging the TB which included making a custom new and very complicated throttle plate. I installed it and the engine fired right up and idled perfect. The ECU acted like nothing had been changed. I also did a base line and a repeat DYNO test before and after I installed it. I won't say that I was jumping up and down but my effort was not neutral by any means, just nothing to really mention.
Here are a couple of pictures of the TB spacer progress. Almost done just need to round up the corners and do some cosmetic cleaning for appearance sake and it will be ready to install. Oh for the sharper and observant members I won't be using the stock intake system and designed my own.
Enjoy the pictures.

When I can find my file on both these projects I will post more pictures.
