Howdy.
While doing some research on heat reducing intake manifold gaskets, I came across a thread about stacking a Hondata and P2R gasket together to create, in theory at least, the perfect heat shield for an mani.
(For the Acura TSX, at least)
The theory was the Hondata gasket, which went first absorbed roughly 80% of the heat from the engine, with the P2R absorbing and distributing the left over.
A guy also deleted the coolant passage that ran to his throttle body, to make a manifold that was easily touchable, ever after the engine had been around.
So long as the bolts are long enough that both can be tightened down, and there are no air leaks, this seems like a pretty good idea.
Discuss?
