so i'm going to buy a hondata IM gasket for a y8 IM that i'm going to swap onto my d16z6. i was wondering if the oem studs are good to use with this set up or should i get the longer studs.

 

my gsr motor with 2 dif intake manifolds wouldnt accept the hondata gasket, they are more prone to leaks more than people say and dont allow the nuts to go on. oem gasket

 

well, i talked to a guy from kingmotorsports and he said that since im just using the stock IM, i CAN use the oem studs but he wasn't so sure since the hondata gasket is alot thicker than oem. and i plan to boost pretty soon too.

 

yeah im turboed too. you dont want leaks from that side if your going turbo. youl lose boost and it sux

 

i know they cost$40 but ditch it. i sold mine to some ding dong for $25 that cant use it

 

u would need new IM extended studs

 

lol

 

even for a stock intake manifold?

 

yeah i had the skunk2. and that got stolen by some mexi. and now i have the type r style. which is the same as stock at the studs. dont waste your money on it imo

 

worked like a charm on my B16 with AEBS manifold with stock studs....

 

yea i didnt feel like buyin the longer studs too. i think ima try it with the oem first. thanks guys

 

i have a hondata im gasget running 22pnds and have no problems i guees it depepnds i had to cut it a liltle but there was nuff threads remaining on the studs to start them then i just torqued them works great whos to tell if it keeps it any cooler tho. i guess if i woulda researched i wuda went oem too but i love aft mkt trash not saying hondata is
