PTFE 306 GTI6 Inlet Manifold Gaskets

[pcourtney]

really great to see so many of you guys at Pugfest, especially some of the GTi6 members on the hill with us 406 coupe's

I have 10 x PTFE 5mm Inlet Manifolds left for sale in white PTFE, expertly cut using Water Jet process from a company that is local to me, have used them for other manifolds over the last ten years, so you can be assured that these are both top notch material and are precision cut against a new GTi6 manifold gasket for accuracy.

first come first served, the cost is £23.50 delivered anywhere in the UK ( for Europe the cost is £26.50 )

I accept paypal to email : pcourtney1@gmail.com

I'll take one......!!!

You don't know anyone with a throttle body to inlet gasket too????

[Matt]

This ^^^ if you do these too I'd be sorted

bit of a n00b here! Was witht eh gti6 lot when you came around selling these however what is the advantage of these and how tight do you do the bolts up with them fitted? I have a feeling the point maybe to keep the metal parts further apart so there is less heat conducted?

[pcourtney]

I have been asked what is so special about PTFE, and why is it so expensive, so this may shed some light on the stuff.

"PTFE Sheet is officially in the record book as having the lowest co-efficient of friction of any soild material and is extremely effective operating at very high and very low temperatures. It has fantastic chemical resistance and superb electrical insulation properties. PTFE Sheet can be tricky to bond, but it is non melting and is self extinguishing"

So they're relatively soft, which is good because they compress a little bit with 20 torque and seal well, they'll even move enough to seal light scratches in the alloy, just make sure the mating surfaces are really clean and there's no oil/grease or bits of the old gasket left to be seen on there. They will also reseal a fair number of times, probably ten, but if you use a standard gasket either side of the PTFE they will last the life of the car.

this is a from quote from Phillip ( hope he does not mind) :
"Massively reduces the heat transfered to the manifold, and therefore to the inlet charge, resulting in cooler, denser air entering the cylinder, giving better cylinder filling.The effect is much the same as fitting a cold air intake kit, but as an added bonus:
1) You no longer get heatsoak after sitting in traffic, so no sluggish engine response as the traffic first clears
2) The slight increase in induction length also helps bolster the low end torque slightly, increasing the effect of the gasket in the low and midrange"

end quote.

hope that helps to throw a bit of light on it.

I bought some 3mm PTFE from someone on another forum, it is pretty easy to handcut the throttle body shape, but I would put original gaskets either side, so that they do not deteriorate no matter how many times you take the body off.

I now only have 6 of these left, I am going on holiday on the 2nd August for 2 weeks, so please let me know if you need a gasket before I go, when I get back I will be putting the balance of the gaskets on ebay, so please pm me if you want one at the special price of £23.50 ( inc p&p )
cheers, Peter

Price for a throttle body gasket mate?

I don't have any TB gaskets Matt, sorry.

all you really need is some 3mm PTFE and hand cut it yourself, the TB gasket is not so tough to do, just take your time cutting, and use a vice.

[pcourtney]

I only have a few of these left, so please pm me if you would like one

cheers
Peter

[Eeyore]

wasnt somebody walking round pugfest selling these for like £12?

[Rippthrough]

There's a good reason not to do PTFE throttle body gaskets Alee, fit a standard one.
