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?

USS

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?

USS

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

^ yea i just went and got some right now from napa, but now i cant cut it. what did you guys cut your with cuz the exacto knife isnt workin.

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.
