Description
How does a phenolic spacer work?
Phenolic spacers create a thermal break, significantly reducing heat transfer from the engine to the intake manifold, thus lowering air intake temperatures.
What is the main benefit of installing a phenolic spacer?
Minimizing heat transfer to the intake via a phenolic spacer maximizes horsepower gains and prevents performance-robbing heat soak in your engine.
Skunk2 Racing's IM Gasket for 1994-2001 Acura Integras maximizes horsepower gains by reducing heat transfer. This direct replacement utilizes advanced high-temperature thermal polymer material to protect against heat soak. Experience a confident performance upgrade for your engine.
