Intake manifold Gasket mod

[Zrun]

I've heard about a type of mod that is just a piece of non thermal sensitive gasket that you put between your engine block and intake manifold, thus decreasing the intake manifold temperature.

 

Anyone heard? Seems like a cheap mod, a piece of plate only. But a non conductor thing that can withstand high temperature of the block might be expensive..

Go to www.hondata.com .... they've one for Honda RSX (Integra)

 

Read it there :-)

Are you talking bout the spoon sports venturi plate?

 

Venturi Plate : Racing engines are machined with extreme precision and feature filled-in intake ports. This is done to make use of the venturi effect a fundamental of fluid mechanics. Specifically, by smoothing a portion of the intake port and making it narrower, it is possible to increase the speed of the air-fuel mixture. By simply inserting this component between the cylinder head and the intake manifold, it is possible to obtain the optimum port shape for the above-mentioned venturi effect. When the speed of the air-fuel mixture is increased in this way, the efficiency of combustion inside the engine is improved and power increases accordingly.

Yeah.. Somethig like that.. I only knew that it will decrease the temperature of your intake manifold altogether, but not sure about the air flow property thing..

 

Looks like cheap mod, but it cost $200USD for this piece of metal..

Hmm... I only know that this item i posted cost 280,000 yen. Its for B16A and B16B engines only.

US$200 for the gasket is not cheap.....and with the labour cost in, it is definitely not a cheap mod...
