search. I read a post at one time that a early NSX gasket works.

P08 is not the right gasket.

15825-P08-005 compatible solenoid:


Left to right: EF B16A/PR3 solenoid, 15825-PR3-005, 15825-P08-005


Notice the PR3 has a sharp bend at the top and the P08 has a smooth curve. The P08 is also much thicker.

If you look at the different DOHC solenoids (PR3 vs P08 style) you will see the differences in the gaskets CLEARLY reflected in the machining of the solenoid face.

The areas circled in red will usually tear when you put a P08 gasket in a PR3 solenoid.

I tried the P08. Twice. It was wrong. It could have worked if I rednecked it a bit more. It was a sloppy install at best.

I did a lot of searches. Other people had the same problem. They tried every USDM equivalent they could think of.

YMMV

For me, the 91 NSX (15825-PR3-005) gasket was the correct part.</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

i used one from a 99 honda civic si. worked for me.

 

91 nsx part number: 15825-pr3-005

 

beat me to it. I was gonna say that. But get this. i went to Ball acura down near me and the dude told me the 91 nsx vtec selenoid was a two part deal. That's right two vtec selenoids.....is that right? But yeah that's the right part number...also you could try a del sol vtec (94)

 

yea it would be 2 becasue the nsx is a V6

 

bump

Yup, my buddy and I just verified this on his 1st gen b16a.
