N E 1 know how hot intake manifolds can get?

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Well I was wonderin how hot an intake manifold could get at normal to a little hot driving conditions. The reason why I ask is I build electric motors for a livin, cuurrently unfortunately , and anyways they got this dip varnish tank that we dip the motors in to hold em together and keep em from vibrating them selves to death. Anyways I figured since I gota port matched skunk 2 manifold I would dip it in it to smooth the inside of it smooth as smooth. I jus wanted to know if the varnish woukd with stand the heat . Any suggestions would be great.

I hope this might help a little, figured Hondata would have some numbers after making the heatshield. Even if you are worried about the temp, maybe the heatshield will help give you some peace of mind.

I'm planning to get that Hondata heatshield. It really makes a difference.

I got a good deal on it with a Skunk2 IM and king extended studs said screw it and bought it.

Whoa, you don't want to do that, those manifolds are made a certain way so that they create a turbulence with the air, that in turn with the turbulence inside the combustion chambers creates a powerful suction. It may seem like a good idea to smooth it out but I would not recommend it.

Not too sure on it but I have heard rumors.

I know the head for sure. The turbulence provides a better air fuel mixture

Yes sir

Yeah I get a lot of mixed opinions on polishing the intake manifold. Maybe I shoulda mentioned I was plannin on throwin it on my turbo build. But yeah I all ready got a Hondata heat shield gasket I was gonna throw on .I jus hear so much about the gains you can get or should I say the horsepower you loose through heat, so I figured it maybe a good idea, that's what's cool bout you all everyone seems to wanna help the next guy out. That's what makes this site DA SHIT!
