How Much To Install My Intake Manifold Gasket On My 08 Si? - Page 2

Less heat soak means cooler air and more consistent power delivery.

So when can I bring it in this week and what time?

if it works so well and there was a performance increase, the factory would do it and would not cost them anymore...

......

Dyno sheets speak otherwise. Just look at Hondata's IMG

"This and bypassing several heat sources significantly reduces the transfer of heat from the head to the intake and incoming air giving you up to 5% more power."

great - post your before and after dyno numbers

i dont think it will make a diff in power.

I agree with qban....it should not make a difference...it order for it to make a 5% jump in power you would have to lower the air temps by about 20% or more, and the gasket being about a millimeter or 2 thick(rough guess) should not be able to accomplish that. You would have to heat wrap eveything in the engine bay, (CAI, Headers, intake manifold, etc) just to get the bay temps down to where it will affect the incoming air. Not to mention the fact that the intake manifold it about 2 inches from the radiator that has hot air passing through it. Which also causes the air temps to rise bc the manifold itself is never actually cool.

Plus most of those companies that make claims like that, just adjust the correction factory on the dyno to show more power. Even more, is the fact that it is on Handata's page. The car is also fully tuned after the install.

If you were honestly told to come in Tuesday by one of our employees. Why are you questioning coming in Tuesday? You will be taken care of. I feel we've been helpful in this post yet from your second post you've been very negative

brotherz racing has never let me down....ever!...i was kinda hesitant at first but that was back in the day when they were at their house.i wouldnt take my car anywhere else.

but if the gasket adds 5% how much of a gain are you getting from all the rice you have on your windshield.

Alpha- this guy is a major freak. he is a super-ricer and has a bad attitude. the only reason he wants this installed is so he could slap another sticker on his Ill-Fr3sh rid3 y0'. this is one job i would stay far away from.......faaaaaaaaaaaaarrrr away.
