Hi

I am in the market to buy a metalhead gasket for my gtr but when i was looking through the greenline website i found that the gasket size were either 87mm or 88mm and as we all know the standard size is 86mm. Greenline website

Can anyone tell which one of these will fit a standard gtr engine? Also which size (thickness) of headgasket (ie 1.0mm or 1.2mm) would be the optimum?

And yes i have done searches.

Cheers

silverbullet, there is no need to go 1.5mm. it's too thick for what you need.

1.2mm will still end up much thicker than a standard gasket as the aftermarket metal layer gaskets crush much less than a standard gasket. go the 1.2mm.

Guico: are you rebuilding the engine or just replacing the head gasket?

As above, unless you are decking the block you more than likely don't need the 1.5mm.

Consult your engine builder/workshop to make sure you correctly match the gasket thickness/bore size to your engine.

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
