intake manifold spacer???

Has anyone seen this product???? Or does any one have it?? If you do I'm curious to how well it performs!!

I have seen them for other cars and I think the one for the 350Z adds 11 whp and 12lbs tq...

I think a couple of the PR guys have phenolic spacers, I am sure you can find somewhere cheaper (and more reliable when comparing past issues) than accolade/rpw. Accolade is the reliability issue, and RPW is the cost issue. a short search on Accolade will highlight some of the past issues, and RPW is in AUS and IIRC that's where Accolades performance parts come from.

there are quite a few places to source these gaskets from if you are interested in actually purchasing. search around a bit on the web, you may end up having to ship them a stock gasket or at least a cutout of one though.

I've got them.. I cant say how well they perform but the intake manifold only gets warm at full operating temp to touch with your hand, as opposed to hot with the rest of the head.

power? no not too much power...

if you are in the 1/4 this will "start" working on the 1/8 cooling down the manifold giving you 'some' but is nnot a kick on the ***** kind of power

kind of like running a cryo kit for your intercooler. it's good to have if you are going against someone who doesn't have it, but your IAT's are only going to be so low compared to outside temp anyway.

Probly be a good thing for turbo guys. Get as much heat soak out of the manifold as possible. Mivec is a hot engine. Turbo'd mivecs are muy caliente

id just take the IM to a local shop and have em port it, itll be cheaper than the gasket and you might feel some gains from it.
