ok, I know it is powdercoated, just inquiring if it would hold up over time to the heat or if I would have to get it re-powder coated every so often....don't have much experience with powder coating, sorry...

No, you will not have to get it re-powdercoated. Unless you damage the part by dropping it or banging it against other metal parts you will not have to worry about the powdercoating.

Yes it holds up to heat, a lot of people powdercoat they brake calipers for that reason.

Is a Basic, Iso Thermal, or a Copper Iso Thermal?
I have a lot of people asking me what kind of spacer I have, let me explain.

As of now it is a basic spacer, with the hardware (some bolts are from NAPA) and intake gasket.

The difference between the basic, iso thermal is the Iso Thermal™ Aramid gasket that goes between the intake collector manifold and the lower plenum mainfold.

A stock engine comes with a steel gasket which allows heat to transfer from the block to the intake system. We all know hot air will make you lose power.



The difference between the iso thermal and the copper iso thermal is the addition of copper throttle body spacer. The Copper Throttle Body Heater keeps only the throttle body heated to prevent ice formation inside the throttle body on very cold or snowy days. It does by allowing the coolant to heat up the throttle body (the bare side of the copper spacer). On the upper plenum side is insulated to prevent the hot coolant from warming up the plenum.


In either case the Aramid gasket and the Copper Throttle Body Heater can still be bought at MotorDyne.
