What is the main benefit of a thermal shield gasket?

A thermal shield gasket helps to insulate the intake manifold from engine heat. This keeps the air entering the engine cooler and denser, which can lead to improved performance and throttle response.

What engines does this gasket fit?

This gasket is designed for D-Series DOHC engines, specifically the D16A1 and ZC variants. It is a direct fit for the 1986-1989 Acura Integra.

What is the gasket made of?

The gasket is constructed from a multi-layer composite material. This construction is chosen for its thermal insulation properties to effectively block heat transfer.

Product Details

This thermal shield gasket from BLOX Racing is made with a multi-layer composite material, designed to help insulate your intake manifold from engine heat. For D-Series DOHC D16A1 and ZC engines found in the 1986-1989 Acura Integra, keeping intake air temperatures down is key to consistent performance. By reducing heat transfer, this gasket helps ensure that the air entering your engine is as dense as possible, which can lead to a more responsive throttle and improved power delivery.

The multi-layer construction is specifically chosen to create a barrier against the radiant heat generated by the engine. This is particularly important for naturally aspirated engines where every bit of air density counts. Installing this gasket is a straightforward way to improve the thermal management of your intake system, especially if you're looking to get the most out of your D16A1 or ZC engine. It's a well-built component that addresses a common issue in performance tuning.
