BLOX Racing Thermal Intake Manifold Gasket 88-00 B16 / 92-93 Integra GSR / 97-00 Integra Type-R

This listing is for a BLOX Racing thermal intake manifold gasket, designed for specific Acura Integra models and certain Honda Civic and del Sol applications. This gasket sits between your intake manifold and cylinder head, and its primary job is to act as a barrier, reducing the amount of heat that transfers from the hot engine components into the intake manifold and the air charge. Keeping that intake air cooler can lead to a more dense air charge, which is beneficial for engine performance.

The material used in this gasket is chosen for its thermal insulation properties. By minimizing heat soak into the manifold, it helps maintain a lower intake air temperature, especially after the engine has been running for a while or under load. This is a straightforward replacement part that can be installed when you're performing other intake or cylinder head work, or simply as a preventative measure to ensure a good seal and reduce heat transfer.

When you're replacing your intake manifold gasket, it's always a good idea to check the condition of your intake manifold bolts and nuts as well. A proper seal is crucial for preventing vacuum leaks, which can cause drivability issues. This gasket is a well-built component that offers a practical improvement for enthusiasts looking to optimize their engine's air intake temperature.
