Hey guys,

I gave inlinefour.com a call since there head gaskets are now special orders.... well they started asking what thickness i would like since cometic head gaskets are now custom made...

What im trying to get to is.. what head gasket would you guys suggest for a B18C1, t3/t4 turbo, i plan to run about 15-18 psi...

Thanks for the info!!

if your running a turbo setup a factory size HG will do just fine. But depends on your compression ratio.

If your CR is a bit too high, you will need to get a thicker CR to give more clearance/lower CR

Factory b-series headgaskets range from .028"-.031" so if your running a good CR that thickness headgasket will do just fine

 

im not trying to sound dumb here.. and my mechanic of course is out of town this week.. and forgot his phone here.. (dumbass) so what size would you say would be best to bring down my compression ratio?? because its at like 10:8 or something like that.. i dont really remember what he said.. *i know noob at motors* booo.. lol.. thank you!!

b18c1 = 10.1 Compression Ratio

That's pretty good for a bolt-on turbo kit. lets say if you get a head gasket as thick as .041" then your compression ratio will be 9.6:1 which is a bit lower then 10:1
