I have heard a butt load of good things about these and I understand how they work SO i picked one up. Hondata BLUE gasket for my B18C1. BUT I noticed that it only has one hole in it where the radiator lines go. I thought the OEM gaskets have 2 holes...wrong or nah?
ALSO im worried about the stud length, I think with my Skunk2 IMO and this thicker gasket the studs will be to short? Should i shave the IMO down a bit on the nut side or get longer studs?

 

I know you're supposed to cut out an extra hole on the side of the Hondata gasket so that coolant can flow through. This is if you're not doing the race install where you reroute the coolant lines from the back of the head. As far as the Hondata gasket and Skunk2 manifold setup go, I'm not sure. I wouldn't think you need longer studs.

 

u will need longer studs to put on a skunk2 intake with hondata gasket, i know cause i had to do that when i did mine

 

where can you get the studs? they $$$$$ and i tried pulling my old ones off but couldnt do it...how do you do it?

 

My bad!

 

bolt store, u can get studs, vic grips pliars(sp) and stud removers

 

Sell your Hondata gasket. It doesn't do anything. Your time and money could be spent on something way more useful.

 

how sure are you that the gasket is crap?
ive heard from MANY people that it works very well

 

It works very well on JRSC'd motors.

 

y not boosted B18C1's

believe me, my S2 IMO gets HOT AS SHIT! even if i just touch it for a second it takes skin off!
