dohc v6 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hey guys I am making these phenolic adapters for the j's and was wondering if you guys might be interested in them at all. They are showing about 40-50* cooler temps making around 9-20 Hp. Is this something that might interest any of you. Price would be around $75 for the lower or $100 for the 3 gaskets for the 3.4 not sure for the 3.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Ball Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Whats it made out of and what's it do? Pardon my lack of knowledge, but I've never replaced anything like this myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohc v6 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Its not on the car stock. Basically what it does is it eliminates the heat soak from the head to the intake manifold. This in turn keeps your IAT temps solid all the way to the head, not getting heat soak when it gets closer and closer to the port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mra32 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 so is this just for the UIM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohc v6 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Would be for both, or just one. On our cars we have 3 intake gaskets (3.4 DOHC) so its really need all the way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 so we would have to use RTV to seal it up? ALSO, for those who arent familiar with the element, here's a vid that shows how much better it resists heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I don't know how you can do this to the LIM since any sort of thickness over the stock gaskets will prevent the ports (and bolts) from lining up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones sold by WOT-tech is upper-only. I'd use them if my 3500 manifold didn't already rub against my hood liner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemis Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 9-20 hp is quite alot for a spacer... then again, I dont know too much about this sort of thing. Anyone else have any more details? Even if it was only 9hp it would seem like a worthwhile purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
