I have a great deal to offer you guys. CNC machined Heat Barrier intake manifold gaskets. The gaskets are made of a 1/8 inch thick synthetic plastic material which is very high heat resistant and soft enough to ensure a proper seal. The material is a very poor conductor of heat, therefore greatly reducing heat transfer between cylinder head and intake manifold. For fact, every 3.3 °C (5° F) rise in intake temperature, air density drops 1%. To put this into prospective, you can expect horsepower gains anywhere from 3-5% and temperature drops have been logged up to 30c. These gaskets greatly reduce intake charge temperatures while suppressing knock = more Pump Gas horsepower at higher boost levels. These make a great replacement of your old intake manifold gasket. Or, for your new build as spring is rapidly approaching! So here’s the deal. Regular priced they sell for $45 each. However, if I can get a bunch of people together the ca.dsm price would be $30 Shipped! All payments will be made Via Paypal. Yes, these are made for both 1G and 2G cylinder heads so please specify which one. Please add your name to the list if your in. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

A thin coat of RTV, as well as making sure both surfaces are clean will ensure a good seal.
Greg, some other gaskets on the market are made of a different material, which have been common for leaks. I don't think all these are made the same. I got one from Magnus a couple of years ago. I have had it on and off about four times now and never put any extra sealing on it. I pressure test often to 40 psi and run 30 psi all the time with no leaks at all. Others also have had little problems with reputable manufactures. If you need a gasket for these I am curious who makes them before I put my name in. In case the question comes up of why do I need another one, it is because I am building a second car for just racing at the moment.

I think there is probably some confusion, because people refer to these as "phenolic" spacers. "Phenolic" is EXCELLENT for insulating, but VERY hard, and NOT pliable, so you end up needing to use a gasket with them. Phenolic is a "layered" material, I have usually seen it in brown. The ones magnus and others (including myself as soon as I get some time) make are NOT phenolic, but a slightly softer plastic. Not QUITE as good as phenolic for resisting the heat, but has enough give to seal without a gasket. I am guessing these are probably made of UHMW??

The Gasket is made of UHMW. The exact same Material as Magnus and Hondata uses.
Soon as i get some more interest, hopefully within the next week or 2 i`ll contact everyone for shipping and payment arrangments. If your in a rush, it could be arranged sooner, however id like to take care of them all at the same time.
