I plan to go turbo when I put my car back together. I don't really want to run more then 10psi. Should I go with a headgasket made for turbo or just use a stock one? This is on a ZC.

 

its not nessesary but if you have the money get it.I know greddy makes one that will actually lower your compression a little bit.

 

I dont think greddy makes gaskets for the ZC, but I could be wrong, I thought it was HKS only.

I wouldnt worry about it... run the stock gasket and tune it real well. You should be fine, if it blows... it blows?

well, endyn wants $82 for one. I don't have the cash right now. I found out a shop around me makes there own gaskets out of copper. I'll check them out, but I'll probably get a stock one. I know for the SCE copper gaskets, it says you need to O-ring your head. Is that just for that specific gasket or any copper gasket?

 

OEM headgaskets brand new can easily withstand 10psi. Like abaz said....."tune the car and you're good". Im running the oem honda headgasket on my gsr brand new and boosted 12psi easily. People dont give Honda OEM enough credit

 

you would have to oring the head to have a seat for the gasket, and i belive you have to do hte block as well, but with a coper gasket properly done you can re-use it about 5 times...
