I will be pulling my intake manifold on my ITR this weekend, just wanted to know from ITR owners that have installed the Hondata intake manifold gasket if they had to run longer studs. I was told some cars do and others don't, no ryme or reason.

Thanks Mattj

 

I haven't installed mine yet...but G3-TEG is already running his with the ITR in-mani and ITR cyl. head....

no problems....slide it on....bolt everything back up and away you go....

 

Mine just went right on in... no prob here

 

From what I've heard, it goes right on.


Hi Matt, its Larry from Milan.

 

No problem with the stock studs...works great too. Didn't have time to bypass the cooling system, but the manifold temps are way cooler than before.

problems arise when u have a skunk2 manifold. the flange is thicker.

 

Thanks for the responses.

I have it on my teg with the Skunk 2 manifold. I think it works very well.

 

Yup.. no problems.. and world of different in intake temps.

Thanks again. I'm having the Intake manifold flange "angle cut" also to straighten the air flow from the intake manifold into the head.

Mattj

 

Please explain furthur.

 

I can't give away all of my secrets I'll make it qwik. The smoother the path the air must flow the better. Basically the flange for the intake manifold has material removed from the top on an angle-down so the runners for the Manifold are getting closer to the same angle as the ports into the head. If you were to look at the engine from the side the TB and back of intake manifold will be sitting slighly higher than they were before.

I that's what I thought, actually. I've never seen one, what is the difference in thickness, and what is the angle on that mill?

 

I don't know yet, I'll try to get some pics when its done.

 

mine is on. no problems, same studs and all

 

did you guys do the coolant bypass stuff? any problems with that?

 

any vendor on this board sell the gasket?

 

We carry all Hondata products. Please email me.

 

Dynospot Racing sells them. They have been on backorder for awhile now, however Dynospot and a few others have gotten them in. http://www.dynospotracing.com

 

yeah, rerouted all the cooling lines and no problems. car takes about 10 mins to warm up sometimes though.

 

does the gasket really make that big of a difference. Im ordering mine on monday from c-speed
