Intake Manifold Gasket for B18A/B18B Non-VTEC

The Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket is engineered from thermal resistant polymer to replace the stock gasket on B18A and B18B Non-VTEC engines. Its primary function is to insulate the intake manifold from the heat of the cylinder head and coolant passages. This "heatshield" design effectively minimizes heat soak, leading to cooler and denser intake air. By reducing intake air temperatures, the Hondata gasket allows for improved air density and more efficient combustion. Real-world testing indicates average temperature drops of around 10°C during normal driving, with optimized setups achieving reductions of up to 30°C. This gasket is a direct fit for the 1990–2001 Acura Integra RS, LS, GS, and Special Edition models. It is a straightforward upgrade that enhances both the reliability and performance of your vehicle, particularly during extended driving or high-load conditions.
