Rb26 Intake Gasket And Studs?

[sickr33]

Hi all

I have just bought a Hypertune multi throttle body plenum for my Gtr

What gaskets do people recommend?? HKS?

Are insulating gaskets worth it??

Also does any one ever upgrade the studs to ARP ??

Car will have a T04Z and run E85 aprox 600rwhp (I hope)

Please dont tell me that I dont need to change the plenum!!

I just wanted it for the looks and the even flow!!

Cheers Ryan

Any intake metal gaskets will do. Tomei, HKS, NITTO. Whatever...

Studs. Are you talking about head studs or the APR "intake studs"?

[sickr33]

Ok cool

I might go with HKS gaskets

Yer I was talking about ARP intake studs!!

I have ARP rod bolts, head and exhaust studs!!!

Yeah, there's a hell of a lot of mechanical stress loading on them thar intake manifold studs........

I'm not sure I understood you?

Are you saying they not needed?

Yes he is.

Inlet manifold is gentle on studs compared to the expansion and contraction of the exhaust side. Stick with the stockers.

Yer that's what I thought

Cheers guys!!
