bubbabooga Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hi guys Just finishing off my rb26/30 build and have read good things of these thermal intake manifold gaskets. Any one have any input, advice or experience using them? I'm having a lot of trouble finding a stockist, iv contacted gizmo who used to make them but have since seized manufacturing due to low demand. Anyone have any idea where to locate them at all? For the single head to intake manifold gasket. Already have the 6 steel throttle body gaskets sorted. Any help appreciated.

juggernaut1 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I currently use the Gizzmo one on my SR - no issues in the last 6 years. Make sure you have enough length on your studs to fit the spacer. I also have a Circuit Sports one which I got through FRSport. Anyway, scroll down and select desired model. http://gizzmousa.com/thermal-gasket.html Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/445754-rb26-pheonolicthermal-intake-gasket/#findComment-7342281 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbabooga Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yeah iv tried direct threw the gizmo site and a few others which listed the gizmo part only to have them all bounce with a reply email saying they no longer stock them. I read a few posts from forum member STATUS about his use with them etc and have tried pm'ing on here but am not allowed for some reason?

sucram Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I think someone in the US is still making them. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/445754-rb26-pheonolicthermal-intake-gasket/#findComment-7342931 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I run one on my RB25, though I'm not sure if I would believe the hype about improving the performance due to having a cooler intake manifold. Heat is still transferred to the intake manifold through the coolant galleries. I wonder if anyone has done a before and after comparison with a heat gun?

bubbabooga Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Their had been a few posts from status where he logged some definite temp reductions using them. Any idea on a company name still making them? I had found a aus company called Mace engineering but it seems they only make them for rb25's.
