I used my old plastic intake to make a nice little spacer between the s/c and the engine block..I was looking for a thermal gasket such as the one that hondata sells, but they only make it for the 2zz..So after hacking it off with a saw, It cost me $20 bucks to get it machined down to .5 inch at a buddies machine shop.

Your mechanical knowledge or lack thereof, is really depressing keefer..save your 2 cents for the peanut gallery, just so you know when some one does something new and inovative it's sick and when some body messes up we'll call it a keefer...

The 2zz IM flows a lot better than the 1zz and its metal so with a nitrous injector it wont explode with the puddling issue the 1zz has.

I know he has helped me out several times. His knowledge of this car still amazes me.

I honestly like what you did. You gave me and others ideas. Which is why I posted my question above.I never claimed to be a master mechanic, nor the know it all you seem to think I am. I'll be the first to admit I was wrong.
