Phenolic Intake Manifold Gaskets

[GeeVRSman]

as title, are these worth the money? i know that keep temps down, but am i really going to notice it on a daily driver?

like micky shouts for tootles... Oh bowderrrss!!

[DBP]

Need bowders here. He has one.

[missingmyvrs]

yes they are very good but dont go for the newsouth one as i found that not that good

the one that badger 5 sells is about 1cm thick phenolic gasket with 2x oem gaskets and supplied with the longer bolts and the diffence is huge imo

no heat transfer between the head and mannifold

very good investment imo

If you pick one up for the right price... It's worth the cash.

Keeping your intake manifold cool will mean the air going into the engine will be cooler by the time it combusts - cooler = denser oxygen content = cleaner more powerful burn.

Oh jesus you're stuck with MMCH too

Luckily mines past that stage lol

I have the same one that Badger5 sell but I got it from 034 Motorsport in the US as Badger5 were out of stock at the time.

It definitely makes a difference to the intake manifold temperature - it's cold to the touch after a run.

yeh i see mr badger selling them. i understand the whole denser air thingy, just wondered if these actually work.

Think i my have to get one of these them me thinks.. Thanks people..

"...but dont go for the newsouth one as i found that not that good..."

what if someone got it for £10 brand new? Is it worth trying it with longer bolts? Surely its better than the stock one?

Here I am guys. nice to be needed...

Yep have one fitted and to be even nicer, did this guide in techi section :

never did heat /temp check but manifold was cold to touch. It is just one of those incremental changes that all add up.

i want one of these but what sort of price are they and where are the best places to get them?

I know someone who lives in Freemont california so may do a group buy if i can catch up with him and get some other stuff when next over states.

I have that one as well - from 034 Motorsport as Badger5 were out of stock at the time.

Seems to work well.
