Does anyone make a TB gasket that reduces heat transfer for the hseries ? Like the IM gasket that hondata makes.

 

i dont believe so.

 

If you havent already, since your worried about heat...unhook your coolant lines from the TB and the IM, don't need them.

 

if you get the manifold gasket and remove the coolant lines to the FITV, then there would be no point in a insulating gasket between your IM and TB because if the manifold doesnt conduct heat from the head, and the TB doesnt conduct heat from the coolant they should be at relatively the same temperature from what they absorb through convection

 

I have the manifold gasket but have yet to install it. What else is involved in removing those lines ? Because on hondata's site they said to reroute them but i was unsure of how the proper way to do that was.

True, true, but the IM gasket doesn't block 100% of heat...

I know you can get sheets of material from McMaster-Carr that is the same stuff they make those gaskets out of. I thought about making a Tb gasket at one point....
