My kit did not come with a gasket for the exhaust manifold and the turbo. Is that because I dont need it? If I need it where can i get one??

-My kit didn not come with a map bypass valve thing. Will my car run without it?

-Anyone who got the HKS Racing Blowoff Valve type II, which way do I turn the screw to soften or stiffen the spring? I cant read japanese, and all my friends are chinese :/

Thanx

 

I don't believe the Drag kits come with a gasket between the turbo and manifold.....OR the downpipe and manifold. I didn't use one and haven't experienced any leaks or problems.

The kit should have come with the basic "fishtank" type check valves. They're okay, but most people here prefer the Missing Link that you can get from http://www.importparts.com It's about $60 or something, and looks better.

I got the Super Sequential with mine, but I'm assuming that it goes the same way. Clockwise to tighten, and counterclockwise to loosen. Just a guess.

 

DRAG 3 kits don't require a gasket between manifold and turbo since both cast iron surfaces are machined true. I'm don't have a gasket and neither do any of my friends... none of us have had leaks. Turning the adjustment bolt on the BOV clockwise will stiffen spring.

 

You will probably get a CEL when entering boost. I think you'll go into limp mode.

 

You're kit does come with a combination of short rubber vac hoses along with two check valves at the end (which say TETRA on them) put together in the form of a ghetto T looking thing.. This thing is already put together so all you need to do is replace your map with this getto looking thing that DRAG provided. It looks like crap on the car, so do yourself a favor and get a Missing Link that looks clean and goes underneath your MAP sensor.

 

So the map bypass valve that comes witht he drag kit is the same thing as a missing link? and just serves the purpose of making ur Engine check not coming on? I bought a used drag kit and it didnt come with either, but my car has run just fine+engine check

 

I would just get the missing link from importparts.com...you will get 10% off for being a honda-tech member. It's not worth it to run into a problem in the future.

Err, what fuel management system do you have by the way?

Well, it serves the same function, but do you really want that ghetto thing sticking out of your MAP? CEL lights don't always come on right away. know it doesn't make sense, but sometimes it takes awhle before the car notices something. God forbid your car going into limp mode. Might as well get one, while it still works. *shrug*

 

You will want to get a missing link. I just had an idle problem only when my car saw boost. you need the missing link to trick the map sensor into seeing boost. if not, after your car sees some boost, your idle will go irradic and a CEL will come on. when you then shut down your car and turn it back on again, the CEL will go away, and the idle will be normal. Your idle will only become irradic AFTER your car sees boost.

get the missing link and it will smoothen the transition into boost.

 

whoa how did this post come back from the dead? did you like search for posts last year?

I made this when I had my other 2001 gsr and my first turbo kit (stolen)
