is that the one that blocks the coolant flow into the IM?

no its the street one i guess cuz it has a hole for the coolant. u guyz think it'll still work just as good?

 

umm the hondata gasket didnt even cool down my manifold. people say that after driving it u would be able to touch ur intake manifold with no problems mine is still like before. very hot. burns my hand.

 

what is the point of a intake manifold gasket? and most importnatly, why hondata...i been hearing a lot about them, but i dont understand the point. im planning to do the hondata i/m gasket, but i would like to know the point of it.

 

To serperate the hot head from the cool intake so the air isn't beint heated at the last point of entry.

true. but i dont feel a difference cuz my i/m is still very hot to the touch.

 

Plus I hear it's re-useable... so that's a plus

 

yes reusable is good . after i got mine on i touched the im right by the head and i was able to hold my finger there for at least a few seconds, and on the mani a few inches on the other side of my fuel rail i could grab and hold it no prob. for comparison, i almost instantanioulsy burn my finger if i touch the head right on the other side of the heat shield.

Don't know what to tell you...my manifold went from seering hot before the gasket, to luke warm after a run at 14psi w/ the hondata gasket.

damn u think its becuase i have the street version??? and my car the timing is really relaly retarded. u think its because of the leak? that i have in my intake manifold? we tried to adjust it all the way and it just still so retarded

 

Well I have the street version too..so it's not that. I also don't think your timing is causing it either. If your manifold is not sealing well...you can get rid of those teflon washers and try re tightening from the middle out.

nope didnt have teflon washers.. we tighten it the tightest as can be its still leakin. so imma put it back to stock stupid stock gaskets are so freakin expensive $30 my hondata z6 gasket is for sale..

 

ill let you know how mine goes on my B16 in about a week when I start her up.

 

return of the dead...lol wait so you guys are telling me that in order for the IM to not leak i would have to buy a hondata IM gasket? another thing i would like to know since i don't have a manual is what's the tube in the middle of the d16y8 manifold?
