Why in the world do you want a spacer? What is that going to do?

I would think you can use OEM Honda gaskets with the manifold and the throttle body. Why would they change the flange designs? Try hondaautomotiveparts.com for OEM parts.

Oh...an intake manifold spacer? Never seen one of those. You want to make the runners longer??

Are you thinking of an insulating IM gasket?

Yeah, if you're looking for a thick IM gasket, try Hondata or Gizzmo. I put the Gizzmo on mine recently; I can't say it's done a lot on the butt dyno, but I've also got some bugs I'm working out.

i like the idea of this blaxtrax spacer...how sure are you its not compatiable because i don't see a change in the runners between the two? umm i guess illl call roskco to confirm?

ALSO for an increased TB does everyone go with 70mm skunk2 and port the manifold?? or is there a better/CHEAPER tb on the market

Blacktrax is meant to replace the IAB's of the stock manifold; the stock manifold is a three piece construction (plenum, iab & runners) whereas the S2 is a single piece, hence there is nowhere for the Blacktrax to bolt into. The Blacktrax does NOT go on the end of the manifold...

There are numerous options for TB's, including boring the stock one. Do some research on here for dyno's and tests done by others that are comparable to your setup. Don't forget to port match it to your manifold. You might see if S2 will match them if you get an IM and a TB from them.

Dude, it won't work with the Euro R either...you should really read up on the different H-series IMs that are available.

No one makes spacers like you are talking about that go between the head and IM because that's not a very useful part. Plus clearance would be a major issue. Just get a Hondata or equivalent and call it a day...might also get some extended IM studs.
