14b and head gasket question - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

spoolinSTi · 04-05-2007, 10:07 PM

so i just got a 14b turbo but i dont have the bolt for the compressor wheel. im think i 10mm or a 12mm bolt will just work. I just dont want to mess the balance up and blow a turbo. Another question is i need a new head gasket fast and honda doesnt have any. so i was looking at a felpro or that beck something. those good companies? let me know

I have always used Felpro, they are great gaskets!

I believe it's a special type of nut... I wouldn't just throw any old nut on there just hit a Mitsu dealer and pick one up I'm sure they can't be more than $5-10

Here's a pic of it:

No way! I would use an OEM on the Evo.

Your honda won't care about the headgasket. With that little turbo, any OEM type headgasket plus some ARP head studs will keep you leak free. I know of people who have ran over 300hp boosted motors with factory head bolts on an LS block, so even the arp studs might be overkill on your setup. Since they are so cheap, I would suggest installing them on your soon-to-be boosted "D."
