I have ctr pistons in a b16 but want to turbo it. what head gasket would be good to use? not sure in size. I know i need one that will lower the compression and I already have the head studs.

 

they say a 2mm for a usdm, and a 3mm for a jdm b16. i think youll be ok with a 3mm.
int he past we have used a 2mm on 99-00 si's setup for boost on stock internals.
please correct me if i am wrong.

 

who sells a 3mm head gasket

 

cometic

I believe they have a .074" headgasket, that is supposed to lower the cr by 1 pt. GL.

 

problem is my cr is 11:1 so i need to go to at least 9:1

 

you arent gonna get that with a headgasket.

let your tuner know what your static compression is, and go a little conservative on it. your compression is a little higher, so keep the boost a little lower.

 

Im lookin to boost about 10psi or 8psi depends on what he says durin the tune

 

if compression that high i wouldnt push it..

 

high compression + boost + good tune = sick power!

Negative. Cometic makes headgaskets as thick as .120." That would technically be a cr drop of over 2 (more like 2.25). Now whether or not this would be the best way to do it is definately debatable, but it can be done.

 

I contacted inline pro and they have a gasket that is 3mm and that my friends makes my cr go 9:1

 

well if its a good tuner you dont have to lower the compression that low

 

i dont want to take the chance with my cr being 11:1. I would rather just lower it to 9:1 and be able to run more boost
