Default Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket...

Just a note about anyone who is contemplating installing the Hondata gasket themselves... At this point, I'm about 75% with the install on KAMcdonald's car and when I install one on my car if the mechanic tells me it will cost $200 just for the labor I will thank him smile and shake his hand. Just for what it's worth... If I never see another F20C it will be too soon.

awwww come on, its really not that hard of an install. Just make sure that you scrape all of the old gasket off the head the first time so you dont have to do everything twice.

Is this gasket worth it? I mean any noticable difference when driving or does it just show results on the dyno?

The gasket has dyno proven gains of 45hp to the front wheels.

Chris,

When did the S2000 become fwd ? 45 hp sounds a bit much. If it indeeds gives that much it is the bargain of the century for performance parts.

ive never done it on an s2000 but have swapped manifolds on quite a few different hondas, a supra, vr4,and a foxbody mustang. All I hear about is WAAAAA I may get dirty if i do this, or waaaaaaaaa, I have to do work on my own car that isnt easy. Some of you make me sick.
