I have a '99 DX that underwent a Y8 manifold swap from a '98 EX

I initially used a Felpro D16Y7 gasket from AutoZone

After the car was fired up, there was a huge intake leak, so I scrapped that gasket and went to buy another one

I then used the same brand D18Y8 gasket which seemed to seal it alot better, but there was still a leak (checked with Carb Cleaner). I decided to just seal it with RTV silicone and forget about it. But now the leak is back

I now want to buy an OEM or a Hondata gasket

So my question is

Which one do u recommend, and if i go with the OEM, do i get it for a y8 or a y7?????

 

Hondata

 

just grab both and wich ever looks like it fits better go with that one... also use some rtv you cant go wrong

 

Go with the Hondata. It's thicker and also non-heat transferable so it will slightly lower your intake air temp! Plus it's like $50 so you can't go wrong.

 

Get an intake manifold for the 98 Y8, it will block off the injector ports. Also what TB/IAC are you running? If your still running the y7 ecu you wont get a good idle without the 3P IAC.

 

Well the reason i was asking for what car is because the gaskets are different

Heres the 1st one I used which is like the hondata d series one:


And heres the one that is currently on the car that sealed better than the 1st one (oddly enough this is for a 99-00 EX)

I do have the manifold for a 98 Y8, and i am using my Y7 throttle body with the stock 3 wire IACV

yea you can go wrong with that... 50 bucks compared to like 20... unless its turbo the fact that its non-heat transferable and thicker will make no difference

 

Sorry that was suppose to say intake manifold gasket. Not intake manifold.
