Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket for B18C Engines
Enhance the efficiency and performance of your B18C engine with the Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket — designed for the 1995–2001 Honda Integra Type R. Engineered using advanced heat-resistant materials, this gasket acts as a thermal barrier between the cylinder head and intake manifold, reducing heat transfer to the incoming air for measurable gains in power and throttle response.
The Hondata Heatshield Gasket replaces the factory intake manifold gasket with a precision-cut, high-temperature insulating layer. By minimizing heat soak from the head and coolant passages, it can reduce intake air temperatures by as much as 30°C under certain conditions—translating to up to 5% more power through improved air density and combustion efficiency. Even during everyday driving, tests have shown temperature drops averaging around 10°C, helping your engine breathe cooler, denser air for consistent performance.
This gasket is particularly effective on high-revving VTEC-equipped B-series engines where intake temperatures can spike during spirited driving or track sessions. Pairing the gasket with additional heat source bypasses—such as the throttle body and idle control valve heaters—further enhances its effect, keeping intake temperatures low and power delivery consistent throughout your pull. Whether you’re racing, daily driving, or fine-tuning your Integra build, the Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket delivers proven, reliable results.
