Two differant gasket locations. The JDM head gasket is thinner. The Hondata replaces the intake manifold gasket.

jdm or us gasket is not much different. i guess the jdm is little thinner coz jdm engine has a bit higher compression than the usdm but not much difference beween the 2. hondata doesnt make head gasket only thicker intake manifold gasket that helps cool the intake manifold so the air coming in will be cooler. so yea, hope this helps you. if you want a thinner head gasket, go with a spoon or mugen (not sure if they make a mugen head gasket for the s2k). this increases the compression a little higher than stock and u should notice a little bit power increase. then get the hondata intake gasket is a good investment, but i suggest for you to get an aftermarket high performance fan switch and thermostat.
