Default Inlinefour Head Gasket, Does it really lower the compression of b18c1 dramatically?

Inlinefour Head Gasket, Does it really lower the compression of b18c1 dramatically? Does anybody here have any experiance with it? Is it a long lasting gasket, and does it hold up against a 15 lbs of boost set up?

yes it does drop it quite a bit. i.e. HKS decompression gasket(2.6mm or 3mm not sure) puts a b16a around 9:1, perhaps lower i think.

inlinepro sells a headgasket for the b18c1. puts it at around 9.2:1. works very well. i'm using one on my 10 second street car. definatly holds over 450 horsepower to the wheels.

Like Jinxproof sead inlinepro sells one thats 2.7mm thick and lt works, I'm also using one on my gsr with all stock internals pushing almost 14psi..

I think jinxproof had his running 22psi at the track with all stock internals and race gas....

Inlinepro is the shhhhhiet!!!
Great products..

ur compression will be lower so u will be able to run higher boost

and I believe someone is underestimating the power of a headgaske, stock pistons are fine.

Inlinepro headgasket: $300 +shipping
Arp Headstuds: $120 shipped
Timing Belt: $75 at the dealer
Waterpump: $65 at the dealer
Labor: $500 maybe more and maybe less

The reason I listed the waterpump and timing belt is because if you are doing all of that work already you might as well replace them as preventative maintenance and not have to worry about them later on down the road....

Two headgaskets might work but I wouldn't try it you really need pistons because your compression is way too high in the begining to work with....

can someone give me the breakdown on how compression works? i don't quite understand it. and just gasket and labor runs that much? isn't it better then to just save up and wait for a rebuild with strong aftermarket parts?

no, ur stock pistons are fine with a InlinePro headgasket

until they melt away...dosnt meen his stock CAST pistons can survive, and they wont for long..
i have run 12 lbs of boost on stock pistons/rods/sleeves(b18c1 motor) on 93 octane gas with an inlinepro headgasket for over a year and never melted anything. i have seen someone do it for 3 years now. same motor.

maybe you just need a new tuner.
