I was wondering is the hondata intake gasket worth it. I read it suppose to cool down the temp. The real question is it worth it over stock?? I do not want to shell out what 50 bucks for one if i dont have to.

Let me here your opinions...thanks

 

i suppose if you take off the I.M. for any reason , why not put one on? I plan on getting one when i do my rebuild.

 

nice thing about those gaskets is that they can be re-used if you take the IM off .. unlike the oem paper ones

 

They make a huge difference!!!

 

How much cooler do these IM gaskets cool down the temp?

 

i havent gotten tooo much dataloggint time yet, but on the dyno on the stock one my intake temps were 146 with a fan on it. i drove it around for like an hour the other day and at standstill they were looking about 105-108, at full load was getting down to 95 degree temps. it looks like its working pretty decent for me soo far, but i havent gotten a chance to take it out on a hot day yet. maybe today it it gets hot and huimid today

 

do you have to torque a hondata intake manifold gasket to pacific torque spec. or just till it fills tight? i know dum question but i was wondering.

 

I would prob think there is a tq spec, but i just do them until they are tight.

 

You may desire to purchase longer studs when using the gasket...my friend barely caught two threads when installing his gasket.

 

did he use the Hondata washers too? if so thats why . they dont supply them anymore. I didnt have a prob at all with mine.

 

Yeah he did. Ok, well that's good to know then...thanks.

 

I have used the washers and the nuts tend to back out with them ... removed them and its now fine...

 

Extended studs



Finished product.



Mine is torqued to Honda spec.

Stud I used.

 

Where did you buy extended studs?

Now look.

 

I don't care what anyone says, on a D16Y8 I used the Hondata gasket with no washers. It always backed out on me so I got a stock one on for now (until I buy longer studs.)

 

Thanks guys. I just ordered one and what I learn on here do not use the washers that are supplied.

 

they dont supply the washers any more, so dont worry about it, slap iot on and have fun

 

I think im gonna order one today and the bolts thats brad . Im just wondering is it realy worth the 100 bones???

 

$100? I thought they were only like $50-$60...

That is correct. I bought mine like 3 years ago and just put it on.

You can use the washer with the long studs. You can also put on some locktite to hold them in. use the blue stuff.

Yea, any ideas? Worth it or not? -=P

 

$100 canadian dollars

Im thinking of gettin one but another prob is coolant runs throw the side of the port so it would prob be better if u could cut that piece of the intake manifold off and tap the head for its own fitting to alow coolant to flow for the bypass

 

Read the post from Doug.

I thought it may be of interest to others.

 

I cant tell if there is a noticeable difference but I putted my finger on the head and after on the IM on the other side of the gasket... and the IM is a lot colder !!! so its not bad...
