M42 / M44 Phenolic Spacer Kit - Reduce Intake Temps!

[e304me]

Are there any more left? I need to check that this will fit with my supercharger. I was wondering how much it would actually help though, as the supercharger itself is a huge heat source....

I wonder if you can simply add a washer under one or both sides of the strut bar where it mounts to the strut tower? Maybe that will give you enough clearance? I am definitely trying to get around to making them for m20 and m30 works and possibly some for Honda applications as well.

I am going to try and get that done today. Drove my car into work and the manifold was cool to the touch. Noticed the car doesn't heat up as fast either and it is quicker to cool down.

how long is your drive to work?

[mcskibadee1]

About 15 miles, stop and go with some freeway. I drove home last night the same route and had to wait about 30 minutes with the hood open before I could even touch the upper part of the manifold. The bottom part pretty much stayed hot the whole two hours I was working on it. There is no doubt this works but I think you would definitely see bigger benefits with forced induction set up like someone else had mentioned. But hey, the cooler the air the better no matter what so why not?

All sold out.

All sold out.

Shit, well if anyone ends up not using theirs, I will buy it from you.

Any plans for a m/s52 phenolic spacer? If not, Im going to look into doing them myself... I really want to isolate as much heat as I can

[e304me]

So if I can find another 5 people will another m42 run happen?

There's a post going on e30tech and maybe the ti board or bimmer world too. I will make a fb post too and see if anyone wants a kit.

[JiXer]

And M42club.com too.
Also, I have to raise the price to $150 for the whole kit with the gaskets plus shipping.
Material costs have gone up a bit.

Also, dsobering47, these wouldn't be very effective on a plastic manifold set up as the plastic doesn't get heat soaked like the aluminum does. Plus you will run in to even further clearance issues on the brake booster :/

Big up

I guess I should commit. I need one for my DASC
