Mr.Dew

doesn't anyone know about Nextgear thermoshield gaskets? i bought one for my H22 and they make them for the H23 as well (according to their website at least)
http://www.nextgearinc.com/
they said theirs are a little thicker than the hondata one and material is a lil different too. so far mine has held up great.

Thanks, man. Never heard of them before, but I placed an order for an H23 gasket, so I'll let ya'll know what happens...

EDIT--now I don't have to randomly buy plastic sheets from McMaster and see what works...

Mr.Dew

Yes! honda-tech pulls through again! Thanks onemobb1.

Hawkze- are you gonna install it right away? Keep us posted. I'm ready to order one, but I am interested in seeing your response to the product.

Dude-Rockn'Roll dude!

Hawkze_2.3

Yup, had to use Paypal.

I'll post some pics of it when I get it, but don't cross your fingers for a dyno ...I'll give it the 'Oh **** I burnt my hand' test, though....

any pics of the gasket? any impressions?

Hawkze_2.3

Pfffff...I placed the order on Sept. 7th and waited until the 27th with no responses, no gasket, no nothing (except a $65 charge on my paypal )

Then I e-mailed them and told them the story and got his response--

I am getting right on it, to see what the problem is. Sign Ron C. one of the owners. Please await my feedback, and thanks for your pateince.--------------

So no pics yet, and my first impression so far is that they sit around all day and fondle eachother...Oh, and I sent the same e-mail to 4 different people...

First thing I'll do when I get it is let you guys know

lol it was worth the 60 bucks for me to have the hondata gasket in my hand right then and there.

Besides, its pretty.

Hawkze_2.3

If I could have gotten a Hondata gasket I would....poor H23s...

98TypeSH

serious, poor lack of aftermarket anything for h23's. No one really goes all motor or anything with them, just boost or swap. Im sorry all you h23 owners out there. My hopes and prayers are with you for aftermarket support

Hawkze_2.3

Ok, today I got this e-mail regarding my order---

Hello

I have recently been put in charge of all the sales from distributor to customer. I apologize for the long wait you have experienced. I do have receipt of your payment. Your gasket will ship this week. Thank you for your patience .

cueballsi

do any of you know if anyone makes a special gasket that funnels air int the block, thus increasing velocity. A friend has it on his crazy civic and absolutely loves it. I really want to get one but can not find if they are made for the h22. Thanx

Anyone have any dyno plots, or plan on dynoing with the IM gasket soon?

Based on this "logic" the smaller the IM, the faster the flow, so the more power to be had. No, increasing velocity lowers pressure, not what you want in an intake manifold...

I just saw this post. I do not get on h-t much anymore since I do not have one now. I spoke to the sales person that you spoke to from my company and he said that he tried to send you your money back but you refused it. We have just opened up a retail store and production had shut down for around a month. We are now actively working on the engineering of the h23 gasket now. I appoligize for the inconvenience. If you need any help please contact me.
Thanks

Wow, thanks for the reply. I talked to Brandon a few weeks ago and he told me the story and said he'd get it to me as soon as he could, so everything's cool.

You guys are the only ones who make an H23 gasket, so I would rather wait than not have one, plus me ordering it will broaden your selection and make it available for others.

yo i just saw this post too and i gotta let yall know nextgear is the sheeeyot, been friends with these guys for quite a while now and as soon as my h22 gets done being rebuilt i trashed a hondata for theirs, side by side way better design, looks as if it will hold up a lot better than the hondata, but for real hold on the h23 will be out very soon, if in tennessee check out the retail store at bellevue mall!!!

H23vtecEG
