put a gasket in on the adapter plate?
 

so i was wonderin if i should make a gasket for my adapter plate for my T3 to HF mani? is it necessary to have gasket?

Re: put a gasket in on the adapter plate?
 

You use the HF gasket between the HF and adaptor plate, and the T3 gasket between the adapter plate and the turbo...

well i dont have those gaskets so ill just make some, i have some gasket material, and ill just cut it with an exacto knife.

oh yeah one more thing. i cant seem to one of the bolts up the T3 to the adapter plate, are there any ways of doin this. or has anyone faced the same problem? what if i just used 3 bolts to bolt the turbo on would that be sufficient?

Why can't you get one of the bolts on? You might have to use a stud, instead of a bolt. You should try to get all four bolts for sure.

3 bolts may leak

i used mr gasket material on the adaptor plate before getting oem gaskets and after 2 days the gasket blew causing a huge exhaust leak. i took it apart and the material just cracked into pieces.

make sure that you have some high heat gasket material.... or its not going to work

so i could go to honda and order a gasket off the 88-91 crx hf right? and where would i go to buy a gasket for the T3?

Go to Carquest or Napa for both.
