He said he didn't want to get burned like he did with the 1.6 DOHC spacers, so he'd prob. want money up front from like 20 people before he'd do one for the 1.5 SOHCs.
After seeing the difference it made on 187SKS's car, I'd put money down to get one made. Awesome bang for the buck. Now we just need 18 more people.
yup yup, las vegas heat is killer, 5 minutes after running u can already feel it bogging, you pop open the hood and touch the intake manifold and its hotter than the head lol.

Oh hell yeah they make a difference. the other day was like 87 out here in San Diego and the car had no problems pulling all through the day and when I touched the runners after 45 mins. of steady/quick driving on the freeway it was slightly warm comparred to the HOT to touch it used to be. deffinatly a good investment!

Hey sorry for the delays with messages and reponses. I have been out of town workin. I can do the spacers for the 1.5 sohc but it will be a lil bit of time. It costs me $200 just to have it put in autocad then the price of cnc and materials. if I could get people to throw in and get together for a set date and pay atleast half in advanced I can have them in two weeks after pay date. get about twenty people together and forward $55 to me and I can get it done. I just am trying to start up and don't have a whole lot of money to invest blindly if you know what I mean. The 1.6 spacers are movin but very slowly. I would love to help out everyone I could especially the 1.5 guys. If you can put the dohc 1.5 head on your 1.5 sohc bottomend you can use the spacers I have now.
Buy a 1.5l SOHC gasket and send it to me and I'll draw it in AutoCAD for you for free. That's my day job. Or hell if it'll help I might just go pick one up and draw it for you. I'm a perfectionist so don't worry about the accuracy. I just need to know if you need dimensions or only a scale drawing.
What is a phenolic spacer and what does it do? Advantages and disanvantages.
Cheers Ryan
Molded from phenolic material for superior heat insulation properties between the lower intake manifold and upper plenum for more power.
Basicaly it keep your intake manifold cool.

i know that some of you guys have got them and reckon that they work, but i still dont know how something that is about 3mm thick can make that much of a difference !!
i can understand something like 20mm making a difference with runner length and heat, i see that stuff with old school carbie motors, big spacers and the like,
