On the DRAG kits.. specifically b18b Integra application is there a gasket that goes between the turbo and the manifold? Buddy's leaking real bad from there.

 

try it without the gasket.

There is no gasket there now and it's leaking... that's why I am asking if there is supposed to be a gasket.

 

there is a gasket that goes there, im pretty sure of it.If you dont have 1 try and find 1 that has the same bolt patter and just dremmal the inside to fit.I didnt have a gasket and when i had my o2 housing looked at guy said it would lose power from it and threw one he made from another turbo in.Also make sure you bolts or what ever you holding that section together is tight and has lock washers/lock tite or they will always get hot and get loose and can cause some real problems

 

wtf muck? LoL why would you do this?

Ive never run a gasket in my car or any of my friends turbo cars. Never seen any of them leak... *shrugs*

assuming that all the flanges are prefectly flat.

Gasketless w/ copper spray.

If it doesn't seal, as said above - your flanges aren't completely flat, hopefully not warped to the point that a gasket won't work.

If they are warped - machine shop - 5 minutes, back in action.

Thats interesting... I wouldnt think it would make a good seal.

I guess go gasketless if it works!

 

copper rtv works awesome .. i use that when i dont have gaskets.. if i do have gaskets i spray them with the copper spray.. works like a champ.

 

no gasket here, no problems. I have seen a gasket blow out on the dyno though.
