And help what? Unless you got the BIWP Gasket, you won't get the 13hp you are looking for. Make sure you get a BIWP gasket. |

Um, this thread makes no sense. If you have to replace the gasket(and I hope you would)then you have to do it.

Re: hondata intake manifold gasket .... worth it ?
Maybe you should do a lil research on BWIP parts.
And what is there to re-read? When changing anything where a gasket is involved, it is good cheap insurance to replace the gasket, duh. I wouldn't re-use a $13 part, just get new. |

it's not honda gasket he is asking about the HONDATA gasket which is thicker/ blue in color vs the paper gasket

yea if you double the gaskets you get better results.

LOL!

Re: hondata intake manifold gasket .... worth it ?
the hondata i/m gasket does make a difference in temp. def recommend going with it when you replace your i/m

Finally someone with some reading comprehension skills thanks man . Still haven't gotten an answer thought . Just wandering if there is any truth to their claims as to heat transfer with their gasket

Re: hondata intake manifold gasket .... worth it ?
I think its worth it.
I just put one of my Si last week and I can now put my hand on the IM after driving, whereas I could not before because it was too hot. |
Re: hondata intake manifold gasket .... worth it ?
They work decently. Whether you'll pick up an appreciable amount of power completely depends on the engine setup, and I've never personally done any dyno tuning to find out how well they work. Intuition says that anything capable of noticeably lowering the temperature of the intake manifold must have an effect on power, but how much is the question. Without knowing what the temperature drop is going to be, and under what conditions, it's hard to predict.
You can get them for about $50 from InlineFour, and I'd say that's money well spent for a good reduction in manifold temp. |
Re: hondata intake manifold gasket .... worth it ?
worth every penny in my opinion. Before the hondata gasket on my turbo gsr the manifold would be scalding hot while the car was running. After I installed the hondata gasket I could drive the car for an hour and pop the hood, put my hand on the manifold and it was luke warm and didnt burn my hand. I would definitely reccomend it.

Re: hondata intake manifold gasket .... worth it ?
they work great, but after some time (like 4 to 5 years) it will crack at the coolant port and leak some coolant.

Re: hondata intake manifold gasket .... worth it ?
Had mine for years. Although I dont drive my car much, I have no data to support. I think that it makes sense as far as application goes.....
