cj performance intercoolers are pretty good tbf im running one its pretty much the same as hdi no tax's but i dunno if they need to be group bought?

also believe that is very tru mate

i boosted it a bit there was tons of traffic around got good couple 1 & 2 full boost runs im going to keep an eye on it cheers mate

for anyone who cares; i had the sniffer test today and it came back negative, was told it should be ok if i dont do over 120 -130

right its going for a sniffer test tomorrow at my local garage so will update tomorrow if it has gone will be thinking of forging

i have done what you suggested and there is no bubbling in the expansion tank could my gasket still be ok its still running mint but im not one to take chances

emptied thanks

just been looking to buy the athena gasket and it says : "Toyota manufacture their head gaskets with some of the water ways blocked off to aid warm up. On high powered engines this can cause problems especially losing water under high boost." Could my head gasket still be ok? im running just under a bar boost? also were is the best place to buy the gasket from?

whats your problem mate ? why you being funny?

ok thanks socks cheers for the heads up ill go for 1.2mm then and arp should help with keeping the head from lifting?

yeah, i know i said before but i didnt read everyones posts, i just thought i had lost some coolant and didnt look into it properly until now so i need to get it sorted i just wanted to check as to what gasket to get and whether arp bolts would be good

will the 1.4 mm be ok ? runnig on ct9 with stock internals till i get the tdo4 kit sorted out?

thanks socks i was thinking of going td04 in the very near future im still on stock internals and yup still on ct9 i have just been qouted at a guess around £450 for the labour inc a head skim, what do you think im a bit gutted really

Hi all i belive my headgassket is blowing after my race at 150mph with the porsche, i have no mayo in oil and the car has never over heated its still driving sweet but after searching wikipedia and speaking to a few mechanics drving on full boost may be lifting the head and that engine/exhasut gases are gettin into my coolant and causing air lock and these are being forced out on boost resulting in me loosing coolant so my question is: should i go for a uprated gasket if so how thick? athena 1.2mm? can some one confirm should i get arp head bolts? have read this is conmon when people have pushed these cars past 120mph

it is an adjustable bolt to adjust the sound of the bov lettin it flutter or dump

is this the civic rad everyone uses ? where do i get brackets/how to fit to my glanza http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT oh and i wont be patient enough to bake my manifold lol looks like it will be gone in cloud of smoke

just looked at that on their website did you brace your decat?

i will give that a go then sounds better to me just looks poor went the paint flakes off after 1st use

o is this mild steel better or worse ? i totally understand about the gaskets cheers for the input, if the stainless has performed well i may just go for that. does boost pressure affect these can i run 1.2bar?

damn man these are gonna be a good buy me thinks

i think im gonna give it a go then, awesome thanks

I have been keeping an eye on these on ebay, I know there is a few people running these, i know the ct9 ones are a "complete fail" but they do the td04 in mild steel and was wondering if they are ok ? i cant see the point in buying a hybrid ct9 when i believe you could possibly put a tdo4 kit together for around £600. So to anyone whos running one wether stainless or mild steel, 1. whats the fit like? good seal no blowing? i remember reading something about the decat pipe not fitting correctly with the lamda sensor 2. do they crack lol 3. anything else you can think of sorry for the essay and thanks

yep will be going back to top mount and when sort my money will be aiming to go for a low lag td04 top mount set up and will prob get the pipe routing done by cpl racing

i got a cj performance intercooler which is almost the same as hdi i couldn see a way in hell of making it fit so i just borrowed a friends cut out bumper but im going back to the top mount soon and i tell you what i cant wait

i did the same as you mate with cleaning there will be water in the plugs or degreasant it will run like a bag of poop if there is degreasant in there so you need to clean out inside do a google search and you should find what you need to do my cleared up after few days if you have water inside i read it can rust and make changing plugs in the future a pain so try and dry it out
