Phenolic gasket/spacer supplier found

Post by ciper_ »

I have found a company that has produced kits for other types of vehicles
that let you isolate the intake runners and throttle body from heat transfer
from the combustion chamber. The quality of the previous kits were very good
so I would have no doubt these would be the same.

The kits would include the intake spacers (in contact with the heads) and a
throttle body spacer plus the necessary hardware in order to put it all back
together (longer studs/bolts and such).

I wouldnt be running this in any way but the supplier wants to see if I can
get 20 interested people.

I found this company from that australian car site www.autospeed.com.au in
the article here http://www.autospeed.com.au/A_0401/P_2/article.html . They
currently have produced kits for Mazda 1.8L-2.5L KL Series V-6 and 2.0L FS
Series I-4 Engines and the Honda B16A and Acura Integra Type R B18C5 VTEC
Engines.

There are two ways you can help make this happen. First would be to commit
to purchasing one, with the price being roughly 100$ US. Second would be to
help comfirm what other model or vehicle these would be applicable so we can
inform those users.

If you dont know the benefits of these spacers I can try to help but Id ask
you search online first. You can find MANY dino charts proving how effective
they are, and you also will find that this is one of the cheaper $/hp mods
available.

THANKS!

There are ones out there already that don't need to manufactured......Or don't the ones for the 2.5 work for the 2.2

As for interested types....I'd like to see them for the 2.2. Not sure if the gaskets are the same for n/a vs. turbo. I sorta think they are.....but yah never know.

If you or anyone can find the resource for these please pass it along. I have asked around on the various boards and have found nothing in this area. The idea that the 2.5 would fit the 2.2 is a good one but the last time I asked this I was told it isnt possible.
