You are bidding on an insulating Intake Manifold EXTREME PPP Gasket for the 92-95 Honda Civic Si with d16z6 vtec motor. This item is brand new. This version provides maximum horsepower gains by<U> blocking off the Exhaust gas recirculation </U>(EGR) which dumps hot exhaust gases into your intake stream, as well as blocking coolant flow to the intake manifold. This item is brand new. We also have another version which does not block off the EGR/Coolant flow, please view our other auctions.

Is it ok to get this for my d16z6 hooking up the skunk2 IM

 

and how come all the gaskets for the manifold have the big hole on the bottom left up and not on the bottom

example:the big hole on the bottom???all other gaskets big hole is on the top, is it just a sample picture on ebay pics?

 

bump

 

well, seeing as how a stock z6 doesnt have an EGR that isnt going to matter.

 

BUMP

 

O well thanx, well wtf is egr

 

I believe that JDM engines dont come with EGR valves

 

i have a usdm d16z6 so its ok to get it??But is the egr really sumin to worry about

 

EGR has somthing to do with smog, i guess u can just re-install it when u do a somg check

 

awww ok thanx alot guy

 

egr = exhaust gas recirculation. This is only at idle and maybe low rpms and does not noticably affect performance or gas mileage in any way and may actually make your car idle rough if blocked.

 

WTF, the egr is operative at idle and low load situations (cruising). basically just letting exhaust back into the intake to burn it again. it keeps the CC temps down a little as well which is good for long highway runs. it wont make the engine run rough if blocked. mine is blocked (d15z1) if anything it wiil idle better without the exhaust coming back in. BUT the whole reason i posted was to say you dont even have an egr on your car.
