Re: Back on the road - Boosted at 6 psi!!(Pg. 63) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Install Thre
stupid question that’s off topic...
Does any company make a ceramic head gaskets?
Wouldn’t that hold up pretty good?
And what are aftermarket head gasket’s made of compared to stock ones?

I think there is no such thing. Ceramic would be be too porous and brittle. Head gaskets I believe are made of layers of soft metal. I leave the difference between stock and aftermarket for someone who has seen both side by side to explain.

IDK, I didn't notice any difference in the stock HG and the two different aftermarket HGs that I've used. There may be some differences in the actual composition of the metal used, but I don't have the means to analyze that. The all looked the same to me.
As far as kevlar Don, it's a matter of withstanding both pressure and heat while still being able to maintain its shape. Kevlar would distort I'd think.

Grrr. PCS stops datalogging at 5K due to electrical interference noise causing the USB-to-serial adapter to crap out. Makes datalogging a bit tricky. Gonna be a rough tune for Saturday's runs. Chris and I are working to get her straight, now that Drew went home and has quit taking all Chris' time!!

I think Chris does e-manage, although you'd have to ask him. His screen name is WilmncChris, hit him in PM and ask him. The price is fair in my opinion, we're back and forth daily right now getting the tune figured out.
Don, you remove the gas cap to relieve the pressure in the fuel system for when you disconnect the fuel line. Otherwise you blow fuel all over the engine bay.

DT is just a standard 38mm stainless steel pipe and appropriate WG flange. Go to your nearest home improvement store and buy a mild steel 35-38mm pipe, hit Ebay for another WG flange (non-threaded) and then have your welder tap it into the DP. It's not bad to run an open DT, unless you're a tree-huggin', dirt-munchin' druid.

Yes you need a dump tupe! I ran without mine for 1 week while I was getting it refab'd. I found under heavy boost it began to melt all of the plastic tabs on top of the bumper & black plastic above the grill is now warped slighlty....any longer and she was gonna get goooeeeey.....I also noticed that pickup between gear shifts was also not as reponsive. Don't know if that was my leaky downpipe or dp.....
Good news on my downpipe bolts backing out. I used HighTemp Ultra Red Threadlock on all bolts/stud....it burnt off immediately but 2 weeks strong, no leaks, no backing out. We'll see though.
Hopefully transmission, exedy stage 1, & flywheel will go in tomorrow after work if I get time........Mechanic and I did it in 45 mins last time(thats right, and no bolts left over)....I'm shootin for 30 mins this time....no stock air box to take off
Foo's hit me up on Halo 3 when you go online, ya know......if you want your *** handed too you gramp's! Haha.....it's Em2CrewT
