3mm gasket on b16
Around what compression will the blitz 3mm headgasket lower my B16 to? My main concern is how much boost can the B16 take safely with the Blitz 3mm headgasket? And, how much boost is nearing the limit? I have the 15g turbo from the d-series greddy kit and I am going to bolt it to my B16. If my motor can take for example 15-18 pounds with the 3mm gasket, then I would probably get a 2mm gasket because my turbo isnt effiecient in that high boost. I need the most power possible out of 12-14 pounds of boost....so I need to match my compression ratio to that. I dont wanna have super low CR when Im not even boosting as much as it can take....that would just be losing power. ???????

Re: 3mm gasket on b16 (shotty)
that engine cant take 15lbs of boost
a thicker headgasket will only allow you up up the boost 1-2pounds MAYBE.
youll be lucky to run 8psi safley on the street.
