I just ordered a Blox V3 intake for my 97 GSR and a Hondata Thermal intake gasket from jhpusa.com. After I ordered it I noticed that they make Blox makes an extended stud kit for the intake when using a Blox thermal intake gasket. Will I be safe with the OEM studs using the Blox intake manifold with the Hondata thermal intake gasket or should I buy the extended stud kit?

Thanks,

 

I dont think so.the thermal gasket is not that thick.

Id look into this kit i really was impressed with it.

I needed to buy extended studs for my GSR when I upgraded to a Hondata thermal gasket and a Skunk2 intake manifold. There was like 3 or 4 nuts that I couldnt get started when installing. The kit I bought was from Oreillys and worked perfectly and was quite a bit longer than stock. Heres a pic of the packaging

The kit comes with studs and nuts but I just used the studs. The kit was less than $10.

 

I've been looking for a throttle body spacer as well. I'll have to check them out. thanks.

 

Thanks man

 

Its not really a plenium spacer but you can ask for 2 or three t.b stacks and use that as a plenium spacer, one thats included in the kit is not enough. I actually ordered a seperate throtle body plenium spacer from ebay, it took forever to come in but i port matched it with all the other gaskets and it works great with the outlaw engineering kit.
