phenolic spacers

alright, i did some researching about this and all i found out was that boe tried at this and he didt have much success. I also found PR mivec has some, but i the only info i found about that was that he almost got banned from the forums lol... so heres my ?'s

first, what did pr mivec say that almost got him banned lol
2. did anybody succesfully make these for the 2.4l mivec?
3. is there a link to a thread i can read about this instead of junking this board up
4. if theres no thread, whats the hp gains? was it noticable?... i need info here

again, i tried to search but found nothing helpful, so please mods, before u delete this help me out first.. thanks

I think he almost got banned for pimping his spacers on here without being a registered vendor. If you PM him, you could probably still get them, but he can't post up, offering them for sale.

Or something like that.

yeah... he was posting in boe's old threads and in others without being a vendor. That's all.

I'd say pm him and see what's up.

PRMivec... you should talk with RRM about providing a big quantity to them. A product like that would be easy to move thru them. Just a thought

Why not pm him to give it a shot... sometimes it takes an action like that to get the ball rolling.

It worked with the underdrive pulleys...

A friend of mine had some in his TC integra (not the same car but the spacers do the same job) and when he dynoed with them he had an increase of 4hp. Im guessing the drop in the temp. made the air stay cooler and therefore made it gain some hp. I'll try to get the dyno graph.

also increases runner length a little... that helps with hp but not so much with tq. Cooler air always a plus.

phenolic spacers are made from a non-heat conductive material (in my case a phenolic "wood" and teflon compund) that installs between intake manifold and the head, and between the tbody and the intake manifold. Because of this spacers the heat from the engine is not conducted entirely to the manifold and tbody, this means that the inlet air temperatures stay cooler and denser which translates into more horsepower...

yup , so add the spacers to a CAI and the p&p IM and you'll be getting more cooler air to the engine giving you more HP.

like i said in that PM i sent you PR Mivec, im very interested in this but im going turbo first, its my next mod.... so i'll buy these after the kit,but i'd rather buy from RRM than you (no offense, just trust a company more thats all)... so by the time i get the kit (2 months) im gonna see whats up with the spacers, if you stillmake em, i guess i'll buy them, but if RRM makes them, then i'll buy them w/ the kit or after when i spurge some more at spring

I think he's encouraging you to contact them as a vendor for your product.
