GordR Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 It will be for a new forged build. Everything will be skimmed etc.Will need to cope with 1.6-1.8bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 i personally think gasket willlhold i be more worryd about some1 to map HIGH compression !!!!!! as a little mistake there will blow gasket / melt piston / rod treu block !! scenario Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GordR Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Will be using Wossner Pistons with a -6cc dish. Believed a 0.6mm gasket would keep it around stock comp ratio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karl. Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I am running one on my 5e. Only running in stage at the minute but it's not leaking which I was worried about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Will be using Wossner Pistons with a -6cc dish. Believed a 0.6mm gasket would keep it around stock comp ratioNowhere near if I remember correctly.It's still lower than standard compression.Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) All depends how well the head is clamped down. What turbo you running at 1.8 bar? Edited December 7, 2016 by AdamB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kbond Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Chucking all the coolant into the overflow when on track Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) Chucking all the coolant into the overflow when on trackThat's a reason to change gasket no doubt. But not a reason to change thickness really.Any idea why your having the issues?Phil Edited December 9, 2016 by Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbond Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) I'd like to go standalone so thought at the same time sort the head out with a refresh and some td valve springs, up the compression a little and raise the rev limit slightlyNot sure really I only use the car on track now but the last day I done this year by the end it was just pressuring up and throwing the coolant out, I changed the rad cap to 1.3bar but didn't do anything, it's only under hard boost for periods of time (track) Edited December 9, 2016 by kbond Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Are you running a full or half sizes radiator?My own experience is that cooling a 4e on track isn't as easy as you might think.Fan flat out, low temp thermo, high pressure cap all do nothing to curb the temps. 2mins flat and they are through the roof and not coming back down. That's like a lap and a half or not even.Big radiator and some decent airflow at it Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbond Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I run a triple core half rad, low temp thermo, high pressure cap, and fan on constant and haven't seen over 90??I need to sort an oil cooler for next year as oil temps are the problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I run a triple core half rad, low temp thermo, high pressure cap, and fan on constant and haven't seen over 90??I need to sort an oil cooler for next year as oil temps are the problemI don't know pal. I don't see much more than 90 now but I'm running plenty of radiator. Surprised you don't see more than 90 tbh, but stranger things have happened.What caused the headgasket blow? Usually it's high temps that does them in. But If not it could be det which would be bad bad news with expensive parts in the block hopefully you get her sorted.Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbond Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Not sure we will find out when it's off I suppose, has ran brilliant since it was mapped around April timeDo you run an oil cooler Phil? I'm not sure what size to go for Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure what size to go forNo oil cooler no, temps all seem good. What pistons are you running? Will really determine your best move with hg Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
