I just got my Hondata Gasket and it says that is for K-series engines .. and I wonder since the TSX is K-24 engine .. did I get the wrong gasket or will this one work just fine for this serie engine???


I need some words from the engine experts..

THanks guys

a K24 gasket needs the 4 cyclinder holes, and then an additional offset hole for the coolant. the K20 doesn't have the 5th hole.

You got the wrong one!

xizor

"k-series" was the name for the k20's because nothing else existed. I guess it carried over even though a k24 exists now.

xizor could u be kind and tell me wut is the point of getting a hondata gasket?

xizor

the hondata heatshield gasket replaces the OEM metal gasket that sits between the injector base and the engine block. the hondata gasket is plastic and much much thicker than the OEM. The Hondata is designed to prevent heat from transfering to the block, thus keeping the incoming air cooler. Cooler air will provide for more effecient combustion and more power.

so after you install it
can u feel any diff?

Delmiroc

that really sucks.. I bought it on ebay and told the guy please send me the one for an ACURA TSX.. dumb bastard still send me the wrong one

THanks guys

He sent you the wrong item? Or did you bid for the 'wrong' item that was wrongly advertised?

my butt dyno isn't tuned very well, so I didn't feel anything putting it on by itself, but ht engine feels absolutely great in general w/ a CAI and gasket

Sorry that I don't have an up close picture but you can get the idea of what the gasket should look like. Jtso has a nice write-up with a better picture somewhere in the FAQs section.

Delmiroc

thank you very much .. that pic really helps to know what to expect when he send the other one

Delmiroc

nope.. you bid on for a hondata gasket and then you have to tell him for what vehicle you need it.. I told the guy Acura TSX 2004 .. and then he sends me the K series gasket..

Luckily he is a good seller and he is sending the correct gasket and refunding shipping charges...
