who here uses turbo gaskets?
i just finished my rebuild but now im on the turbo part of the project......so im tryin to figure out if i even need gaskets for my turbo stuff??? i've been searchin (on another site that will remain nameless) and have gotten mixed responses so i wanna know what the fellow hmt er's are doing about gaskets....do you use them or not??
the gaskets/area im asking about are: t3 to bmc adapter(new) to hf mani. .............and the exhaust to down pipe |
Re: who here uses turbo gaskets?
i am going to use mine. 14b to hf mani. i got the gasket for the 14b. its a double layer copper gasket. but ill just get the hf mani gasket from either a honda dealer, or maybe napa.

Re: who here uses turbo gaskets?
only gasket I use is an exhaust manifold gasket. I don't use a gasket between the turbo and manifold, i also dont use one between the turbo and downpipe.....I highly reccomend using
PERMATEX® ULTRA COPPER® Hi-Temp RTV Silicone Gasket Maker It works great....never had a problem ;) |
Re: who here uses turbo gaskets?
when i built my last setup
exhaust gasket -----> hf manifold hf manifold ----------> hf gasket hf gasket ------------> hf-2-ihi adapter hf-2-ihi adapter ----> ihi rhb5 gasket ihi rhb5 gasket -----> ihi rhb5 turbo ihi rhb5 turbo -------> ihi exhaust gasket ihi exhaust gasket --> Downpipe |

Re: who here uses turbo gaskets?
Better to be safe than sorry....My first setup I didn't have the rhb5 to adapter plate gasket....it leaked like a mother.....then I had to take it out again could not find a replacement gasket, the dealer wanted 2 weeks to deliver it, so I tried using some gasket material. That burned off. So I had to take it out again, tried using some high temp silicone gasket maker. No worky. So I ended up having to wait for the gasket anyways and had to take out the turbo 3 or 4 times.
Gaskets are made for a reason, if you are still piecing stuff together, just order it, if it is preventing you from finishing, then try a high temp silicone, use a lot, and see how it goes. |
Re: who here uses turbo gaskets?
i used the high temp silicone on my first setup without a problem, but i'd like to get gaskets for the next one.

Re: who here uses turbo gaskets?
We're using all of the gaskets on chris's turbo accord project.

Re: who here uses turbo gaskets?
I use gaskets where its applicable assisted with permatex copper. and the copper rtv where I cant get a gasket for.
