MAPerformance releases revamped Phenolic Spacer for Evo 8 / 9



Our intake manifold spacer has been re-engineered from a phenolic material to avoid squishing issues that are common in competing products and yield better thermal properties. Please keep in mind that you will be spacing your intake manifold by 3/8″ and some bracketry may need to be modified.

any kind really. i know the hondata ones are junk. but the phenolic material was always the proper material to use and the old school guys used it for the carbs and other stuff. but any type of proof would work.

i pm'ed you too. basically the same thing. ha

No back to back testing as of yet I'm afraid, but as you mentioned this is the proper material to block heat transfer and less heat = more power, how much exactly is the question!

hum. its an interesting part for sure. i am glad its made of the right material this time. maybe we can get some data on it.

if i bought one would this type of test work.

run the car till warm. drive it around the block and then take the temp of the manifold/fuel rail.... then install the spacer and redo the same test.

i can do that test. i have that laser heat temp gun thingy haha.

It would certainly show the temperature difference, but performance gains wouldn't be able to be quantified.

ok Chris and Adam. i just sent my money for one. ill do what ever testing i can once it gets installed which should be a day or so after i get it. I I cant do any before and after dyno testing because i do not have the funds to pay for dyno time on a $50 dollar part. but i will do road testing and temp testing before and after. i hope that helps

Just a thought....

Being that the EGR exhaust port is still open wouldn't you be negating any positive affect of the spacer since the hot exhaust will continue to flow into the manifold thus heating it up?

I recommend making one that seals off the EGR for those of us that do not run the system. Then you would, in fact, remove any heat source from the intake manifold.

As would I. I have a ported intake mani waiting to go in....the phenolic would be a great addition. If....IF....IF the EGR hole did not exist.
