Custom B20B head gasket for turbo
I had a custom head gasket made for my B20B - this one is 2mm thick, and will drop my C/R to about 8.5:1 with stock B20B pistons and rods 
does it look okay, construction-wise? the shop I had it done at is the same shop that makes custom head gaskets for JUN Thailand. I used their headgaskets in my D16Y8 turbo too, seemed to hold up great. Never blown one up.

Re: Custom B20B head gasket for turbo (turbopanda)
tHE word worried doesn't even begin to describe the amount of fear contained within me from boosting this engine on stock internals!
HE HE i hear that, but you will be okay, your not some dumb kid who doesnt know whats going on. Is this the car that has the LINK management? You have so many cars i lost track

Yes, its got the Link standalone ECU with an A/F Lambda meter and Knock meter. People here are saying that B20B engines are sensitive to detonation, so I guess i'll know about it first with the things I have, before something goes wrong. I hope..

..might be because of the mismatch of head chamber 81mm & cylinder 84mm. I still have this theory that any long stroke motor is "edgy" and sensitive to detonation.

Re: Custom B20B head gasket for turbo (turbopanda)
I hear ya - I'm running a B20B in my GSR ever since my 18C got destroyed and now I'm getting more and more nervous, but I figure with a standalone and decent tuning I should be OK, particularly since i'm not running any more than 8-9 psi. Does make me want to go out and double-check that my base timing is still setup correctly with the AEM ecu.
