I searched and found one thread about the hondata intake manifold gasket, it was short and basicly said it works good. Im not arguing that, but i just wanted to know ABOUT how long it would take to get it on. and is it really worth the "gains"? is it more of a placebo or actual whp (at least on a butt-dyno)? thanks

 

It's not about power gains with that mod, its keeping IM and chamber temps down and a bit more efficient

 

Reduced intake temps=power. We saw a gain of about 3-5 whp on an S2000, and 2-3 on a 94 LS.

 

How long it takes to put on depends on how mechanically inclined you are. You just take off the IM, remove the old gasket, put the new one on, bolt the IM back down, and check your coolant for air pocket.

 

sounds good. the whole objective this different gasket is to lower intake temps, obviously. i have the AEM CAI...if i was to heat-wrap it, has anybody seen any differences by doing that? isnt it made of aluminum? I read that the difference in temp between engine bay and the little arear where the CAI draws air from was marginal if any...i cant quite understand that one. it was on here somewhere i do remember that much about it. i would think that it would be substantially different...if im runnin it hard, all i have to do to feel some of the under-hood heat is just run my hand above the hood, i dont think that the motor is heating up EVERYTHING in the front of the car so much that there isnt much of a difference between those two areas. ill find a link to the thread on here, i think the "test/experiment" was on a b-series. it just didnt seem right to me.

 

it werks trust me !!!

 

yea its a cheap and good upgrade (i picked up mine for 20 bucks)....how i know it works is before i put the gasket on, after a racing a couple times, the intake manifold is just as hot as the bolts that hold down the valve cover, but after i put the gasket on, the intake manifold isnt hot like the valve cover bolts but just warm....dont know about how much hp i gained, but i just know that the intake manifold is alot cooler now....i think that combine this with the coolant bypass thing to the the tb and iacv, it would really net good gains...

 

What are the differences between the PasswordJDM intake manifold gasket, and the hondata intake manifold gasket?

Sorry to jack your thread, but I made this thread and it got deleted for some reason??

 

Anyone ever think about outlawengineering spacers? Pricey but just throwing it out there.

 

i just checked that out for the first time it has it all the tb coolant bypass throttle body spacer and gasket and the intake manifold gasket $100 didnt see one for an h22

 

Does this also benifit us ITB guys? I have only 13-14 in from head to top of stack and the air has a straight shot into the head. I just dont see how a few degrees cooler would help an ITB setup. Now i can deff see how it would help a plentum setup... Heres a pic of my setup

Prevents that fancy flange of yours from falling victim to heat soak.

yes but head soak would hardly affect air from engine bay traveling very quickly through a 13" straight tube. IMO
but thats why im asking from input from others.

You don't think the air travelling through a piece of hot metal piping will heat up?

Every little bit helps.

The biggest advantage the Hondata/P:JDM gaskets have over stock is the ability to re-use them.

Very true. I just don't seem to notice the temp difference with these. All the bolts /studs transfer heat as does the antifreeze passing through the fitting on the flange. When hondata first came out with these, they included washers for the hardware but the studs ran out of threads!

That's why you use Prelude studs!

It seems to me that it would be so minimal that there would be no power gains whatsoever in an ITB setup. IMO.
