Phenolic Spacer question if any?

Jrok25supra · 10-05-2005, 10:29 AM

i used to own a 97 Ford Probe GTS and I installed Phenolic spacers for the throttle body and intake manifold. If you dont know what it is it a special material used to put between the head/manifold/throttle body to keep alot of heat from transfering from the motor to intake for cooler air intake. I only know the Civics and Mazda KL series motors to have these. They work great during the winter and good during the summer. After driving for long periods of time I could put my hand on the manifold and it would be ice cold.

I wanted to know if there was anything like this out for sale or at least in development for any of the Supras. If so this would be great. I'll post pics when i get home.

If u want to know more about it www.outlawengineering.com makes them for alot of vehicles. They also have Toyota and Lexus coming soon on the website. I imagine that they would start with the 2JZ first and hopefully make there way to the 7M. The thermoblok kit for the Probe was only $99 when i got it. They seem to have added more items for only $6 more.

Well, I emailed outlawengineering about Phenolic Spacers and they said they wont making spaces for the 7M anytime soon. They didnt answer me about the 2JZ but there are no other vehicles to make it for other than the Celica and MR2.

hey guys, i just got an email from outlaw engeneering. thought id pass it on if someone wants do a group buy on them, suprragirl? they will design and cut em for us for $100 each if they get 20 orders.. It sure does sound interesting for sure. ....cold air = more power .

Joel,

Thank you for your interest in ThermoBlok Spacer Kits. We have been developing ThermoBlok insulators for many new applications, but the Toyota 7M is not currently on the list. Our prototyping work order is organized by demand and to date, there hasn't been much interest in insulators for this engine, yet. We generally request 20 commitments prior to the design, prototyping, and production of a new performance part. Pricing for a set, including intake manifold and throttle body insulators along with necessary hardware such as lengthened studs would be in the $100 or less range.

Please assess the interest for your group and let us know.

Best Regards,
Sean Morgan
Outlaw Engineering
