Does anyone here have the Hondata intake gasket for the RSX? If so, any feedback on it? Did a search. Thanks in advance.

 

Yes. It is worth the cash. Get it. Be careful on install though. It aint simple first time through. Make sure you follow the directions on Hondata's website, not their instructions that ship w/ gasket. Get yourself a 9" socket extension for the two bolts underneath the IM. Don't forget to reground your fuel rail or your K20 wont run. It dramatically reduced temps on my IM. I can't say I feel the power increase, but any reduction in temps on the intake side is a plus. Good luck.

 

Thanks for the reply. My friend is looking to get it for his RSX-S. I'm sure we'll definitely take our time with the install.

 

For around 60$ its a hell of a item for your car. It should give you around 4-5 hp. You may not feel it but it is there

 

heres the dyno for the hondata intake gasket with the hondata ecu http://www.hondata.com/k20a2release.html

Anybody done an EP3 yet? I assume its about the same.

 

I've got one installed on my ep3. car seems a bit livelier when moving from a stop. I wouldn't even think that I got 4hp out of it.

And what's this talk of re-grounding the fuel rail?

 

Who knows. I am installing one tonigt on an EP3 so I just wanted to know if it was about the same as a RSX. Ill see if I cant find out on the fuel rail though.

 

It worth it. On daily drivng i dont lose HP n throttle response on hot days n heat soak. I dont notice the difference on a cold day but on a warm day its obvious. I own an EP3 btw =-)

 

Well the install was very easy. I reccomend removing the passenger side stud to help the intake come out easier. There is an ecu sensor ground right at the center of hteinjector rail for those wondering what that was all about. It took about 2 hours to install mostly because of the constant bullshitting and screwing around. Drove the car around and wowie what a diffeence in temps.

I have actually always wondered why all of the local shops don't have people present on these forums posting, learning and staying up on stuff. They are way too lazy I guess.

I am extremely satisified with your work and quite impressed that you actually use the internet as it should be used.

Anyway, thanks again tobi... later.

 

Wow im flattered. I thought everyone used the internet like I do. You know, **** and hating on peoples cars. I have come to find out it is a very useful tool in diag and repair as well as installs. You just have to be able to sort out the BS.

 

Here is a dyno we did on the new Si with the gaskets we manufacture.

get it, its a good product.

 

I have it on my RSX and there was a huge drop in temp.
