If the Hondata gasket is for the actual TSX intake manifold, then it would be very easy to install. However, it's not the most effective methold which I will explain in the second pic.
Intake Manifold:
Here is the injector base which the intake manifold bolts up to. This is the part acutally comes in contact with the cylinder head and note the coolant passage at the right corner of the injector base gasket. If anything, the heat gasket should be here replacing the injector base gasket and not the actual intake manifold gasket. Also, I do hope there is a race gasket which blocks the coolant passage. However, it requires a reroute of one coolant hose, but it's the most effective method. It's also more labor intensive.

400 whp is very possible in a TSX...now im not sayin ill boost 20 psi daily to have 400 whp all the time but when i go to the track i want to be able to turn the boost up and know i have 400 whp. I had an integ will be postin pix soon when i get home or maybe tomorrow...it have 280 whp on 91 octane..11psi daily driven when i turned the boost up to 20 psi it was just insane. That 280 whp came from a built bottom end stock head custom turbo kit and VAFC. and fuel mods...i know if i have the TSX built bottom and top with the displacement and the correct tuning i can get 400 whp. We got 370 whp out of a built LS turbo motor and ran 12 flat at palmdale at battle of the imports at 156 mph. Jason the driver misshifted and boged at the start. But that car was fast ...lil del sol even. so a TSX with ivtec and .6 more liters should have no problem withthe right tuning.

I really wish companies would put aftermarket parts faster. There is definately a (small) market of TSX owners who'll jump on any new mod.
I'm getting one once I see the results. The price is right.

LOL,
these are totally no fun to install. I have done them on about 6 RSX's now and it's takes a while to do. you also have to be super careful not to over tighten the bolts or they will crack the manifold.
