Hi,Guys which is the best head gasket for Integra type-r turbo GT3076 high boost 32 PSI.OEM Headgasket or Cometic Blown after about 1000 Miles.I have Wiseco Pistons compression 9:1 and Darton Sleeves.Please help!!!!!!!!!

 

problem isn't the headgasket. oem headgaskets have been good for over 1000whp.

 

Thanks.What it can still be.The Garrett GT3076 is Oil and Water cooled, can i drive with Oil only,without Water????

 

Yes but I really wouldnt. As for headgasket OEM

 

The water is used for cooling the turbo and without it most likely will cause the seals to fail prematurely. If it has water ports always run water through the turbo.

The factory head gasket would be perfectly fine for your setup. Just make sure if you take off your head do not re-use the factory bolts. Use something like a ARP stud. And re-check torque after engine has warmed up.

 

if it isn't a mechanical problem, it's your tune.

 

If you plan on running it without water, you might as well throw it away lol....... water is a must, if you want it to last

 

I install Full best parts for this Engine incl ARP Headstuds but not re-check the Headstuds after engine warmed.must make this at ARP Headstuds????

 

Must re-check torque????

 

What does your tune look like?

Lots and lots of guys on here running dartons with ARP studs and an OEM HG and making significantly more power than what a GT30R puts out. Might be too much timing, or something else causing cylinder pressure to spike and push your HG.

Remember the HG is the weak link in your system. If there's something wrong that's causing your headgasket to blow and you move to a stronger sealing system like O-rings and higher torque on the studs that overpressure will find something else to break.

When you throw it all back together make sure the head and block are flat. Yes you should always recheck the torque. Most people don't, but I sometimes find they need to be tightened once everything is heat cycled.

Also I usually always copper coat the gasket just as an added measure. Again most people dont or will tell you not to.

 

How much timing should i drive?????

I think i drive 20°

 

20° at 32 psi? seems to be a bit hight
wich fuel do tou use?

 

Yes,I use 100 octane Fuel.I thought 20 degrees to little????

 

has it been tuned on a dyno or street?
100octane race gas? pump? or octane adder?
do you have pics of the plugs? any kind of knock dectection?

 

Yes 100 Octane Race Gas with AEROMOTIVE 340LPH Fuel Pump,tuned on street,plugs etc I compared with stock my JDM ITR,all is same not divergence.maybe I should go 24 ° degrees more someone knows how much?????????????

 

what type of tuning system did you use? maybe you can post a screen shot of your ignition map or email one of us the calibration file.

 

24° at 32 psi, seems a lot for me, you build a lot of pressure if you have to much timing
you should try for less to see if you 're still blowing head gasket
something like 16° but it's hard to know without timing map and correction applied by the sofware if there any, and a dyno will help a lot
re torque the ARP mean that after a few thousand of Km you recheck torque on the studs
Or a sleeve moving under pressure

 

or i need oil catch tank ?????

 

up to 300 hp you can stay with stock set up, in your case with more Hp you need one
also did you give a try on ignition timing ?

 

I think I must Re check the ARP Headstuds,but Compressed air test was ok.I Should Install another new Headgasket or can use old Headgasket and don´t remove the Head and only Re check the Headstuds????
And will Tune with less timing.

 

less timing you can use less fuel but dont go too lean on it..more timing require more octane

 

Timing is quite high for that boost level . It should be in the mid/upper teens . This is of course if everything is setup correctly . Even for that octane i think its too high .
