Just a quick one guys.

Mate has blown his head gasket and needs a new one.

He's asking me if he needs a 1.2mm, 1.5mm, or 1.8mm. (he's buying aftermarket)

I don't like lowering compression too much because you get bad fuel economy and poor off boost power.

anyway - can anyone tell me what the standard head gasket thickness is, and how much each head gasket above would drop the compression?

Also bare in mind that he's buying a 2835 HKS kit soon, so maybe factor that in.

Thanks

Jono

Standard thickness is 1.2mm.Dont lower the CR.I know of a few big power cars running stock thickness.Ill be building my motor very soon and will be keeping the stock thickness,and have even got custom CPs which are 9.0:1 (stock CR).And thats with a GT3037 bolted to the side.

And from memory 1.5mm will lower the CR to 8.6:1 with stock pistons.

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
