Phenolic Intake Spacers Are Here
2 Attachment(s)
These are water-jet cut from 3/8'' thick heat and chemical resistant brown
phenolic material. It's hard to see in the pics but it has a very hard glossy surface finish. This spacer will isolate the upper intake and TB from the hot engine. Might add some power(?). My car is off the road for another month due to BS winter weather in Michigan so I can’t try one under actual operating conditions so I won’t sell any yet. I'm going to send one to a friend in Florida to try out for me. |

Are these a replacement for your aluminum spacers? Cost change? Still ship with another seal? Can't wait to hear how they perform, I will be in the market for an intake spacer soon.

Re: Phenolic Intake Spacers Are Here
Interesting idea, may keep the upper plenum and the throttle body cooler, but maybe not that much. With the two plastic gaskets on the aluminum one, you have quite a bit of heat isolation already. I'd guess these may be cheaper to make/sell though?

Re: Phenolic Intake Spacers Are Here
Looks real sweet roy, Nice work :THUMBSUP:. Let me know how they work out because a intake spacer is in my next wave of mods.

Re: Phenolic Intake Spacers Are Here
Glad you got ahold of the material.
I would imagine, the hotter the temp (ambient or engine temp), the more it will help. Brilliant idea. :machgod: |
Re: Phenolic Intake Spacers Are Here
They look nice. :machgod:

Re: Phenolic Intake Spacers Are Here
Why not replace the head to intake manifold gasket with something like this, is there a good reason or has no one thought of it yet?
I did this on my vw and the difference(temp wise) was amazing...after running around town not particularly hard after about 20min i couldn't touch the intake manifold after the gasket was replaced with a phenolic replacement it was cool/warm to the touch during the summer and cold in the winter, the intercooler probably helped keep it cool but there was deffinately a difference i could attribute to the spacer... |
