I wouldnt be too fussed with the head gasket unless your planning on running more than 8psi, then you will need to.

8psi are you f**ken serious!!!!!!!!

Yea i am really bothering to pull out my RB20DET and putting an Rb25DE and turboing it to be running it at only 8 psi!

YEA RIIIIGHT

Calm down mate, you didnt state your intentions very well therefore I didnt know what sort of boost you were running. Im turboing mine next week, will be running 7psi on stock compression. So ill soon let you know how long it lasts, and from what I have heard and seen, it should last me a few years yet

rb_turbo_bitch, juddier31 and slimvlt are actually sorta right...

have a read of that thread and come to your own conclusions.

p.s - unless you already have a spare rb25de lying around, i cant see why you would go to so much trouble.

each to their own, read DAN666's thread

we will c how long it runs for then.

8 psi and about 10-1 compresion

Hence why she is using a thicker head gasket to lower the compression. All u backyard mechanics tell me why my engine has lasted so long at almost 11:1 compression at 11pound of boost and the only time the car is driven it is cained... Now please... everybody take a step back if u dont have hard facts and havent done it yourself dont be so quick to critisise.

Ugh I'm sick of your N/A + boost knowledge John, it's so common sense and practically based :(

Come on people if you need to know anything about boosting N/A's ask John or myself, we're there to help in such a taboo subject.

mate i have done this before and most ppl dont do it well and set there sxpectations to high.

ive used decomp plates/copper head gaskets ect in rb30 engines for years with great sucsess but you always get reports of ppl who get it wrong.

ive used a dead stock n/a rb30 with a 2mm copper gasket (no orings)

cramed alot of boost in to it (ran 28 at hethcote)

made 253 rwkw on 18 psi. it all comes down to the tune and what most ppl do is use the stock parts that dont like it real well (ecu)

so if they scimp or dont get a pigy back then pumping abit of boost in will result in a meltdown and a nother statistic to the list.

so yea i beleive i know what im tlking about.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
