Phase 2 Motortrend Thermal Guard Intake Manifold Gasket - Honda D16

Description

- Proprietary sourced fiber material with excellent thermal barrier properties
- 3mm thickness / precision CNC cut to spec
- Gasket material can withstand up to 220 deg. C (428 deg. F)
- Controlled testing showed a standard average deviation of 10 deg. Celsius between intake plenum and cylinder head
- Under certain circumstances depending how the engine operates, the deviation can be more than 10 deg. Celsius.
- The gasket act as a thermal barrier between the cylinder head and intake manifold, keeping the intake plenum cooler
- By keeping the intake plenum cooler allows denser air to enter the engine combustion chamber to make more consistent power without heat soaking the intake plenum and charged air.
- Kit comes with high temp gasket maker to apply around the intake ports and coolant passage on both sides of the gasket to ensure air tight seal

P2M thermal intake manifold gasket act as a heat barrier between heat transfer from engine cylinder head to the intake manifold. The specially formulated material blocks heat up to 2-3+ deg. (C), by lowering the air temperature going into the engine can contribute to more power and torque generated. The thermal gasket also spaces out the intake plenum to create a slightly larger air volume for the intake manifold.

* NOTE: FOR THERMAL INTAKE GASKET THAT HAS COOLANT PASSAGE, PLEASE APPLY HIGH TEMPERATURE SILICONE AROUND THE PASSAGE TO ENSURE PROPER SEAL.
