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.

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
