[DaNnY_LaD]

Im looking in to these at the moment..

Are these actually worth the price take or is it a con....

Bill Does them for £70 odd and id buy them if i knew it was going to do somesort of good..

Opinion please...

thanks

Yes from everything ive read about them they are well worth buying. Bought one for mine but sold the car before i fitted it so sold it on. Get onto Isam at INA for one as hes slightly cheaper than bill as hes in the states

 

[cuprachrissy]

sorry guys but what the foobar are you on about? never heard of these before!

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Its basically a thicker gasket to the standard one which takes longer to heat up and quicker to cool down so it keep the intake temperatures down much better than the standard gasket

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Im going to Read abit more on it...

But it really does seem to keep the temps down..

Phil knows a fair bit about these dan

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

£59+vat for mine
phenolic insulator gasket

keeps inlet manifold cooler from not conducting uber hot cylinder head temps into manifold, and slows the onset of heatsoak.

as used to good effect on badgerwagen

I can recommend Bill's gasket. If I started mine up half an hour after a spirited drive, it would immediately go into limp mode. Simce fitting it, it has never happened.

Creeps up, leaps down

works very well on mine, even after a lengthy time out on the track, the inlet mani is still cool

No they dont..
different New South thing - thin one relative to what I sell

 

[ian_cupra]

yeah definately not the same, i've had both, and the one bill sells is much thicker

 

[Robbie C]

Been running one on mine for nearly 4 months now, no complaints

I think im gonna change mine up for one from Bill, the Newsouth one isnt that thick so thermally it cant be that good a design.
