Hi guys,

I bought an used all in intake manifold. The guy who sold me the intake, also send me a new golden eagle intake mani gasket.
My experience with thermal intake gaskets is 0... so I would like to know what you guys think of the golden eagle thermal intake gasket.

Does this work well? Does it keep sealing the intake (under boost) or are they known for leaking?

Any input is welcome.
Thanks

 

My brother had one on his Integra back in the day. Sealed Just as well as OEM and he was boosted. Shouldn't perform much different on an S2000. Can't speak on the actual lowering of intake temps, but you already have it and it's not going to make the temps higher.

 

i had a hondata plastic IM gasket. it warped.

NO NO NO.

 

I researched the Hondata gasket, and found many, many complaints like above. Seems common to warp and leak.

But haven't heard about this gasket before. No idea if it'll have the same issue.

 

I was afraid of that. Since they're pretty thick and made of plastic... they might warp.
I do think it's very important to torque all the intake nuts to spec.

But thanks for the input! I think I'm gonna go for the oem gasket. Unless anyone else has some input for me?

 

OEM. no headaches.
