Any reviews on these Bob?

What size would you recommend for my forged td04 build?? 1.2mm?

Thanks,
John

Spuddy is about to run one on his 320hp 5E. will let you know how he gets on.

I need to know what boost you will be running to know what thickness to supply.

probably 1.4 bar max

will be daily driven so i want around 250+bhp, what boost would you recommend for driving it daily?

thanks

you be looking at a compression of around (roughly) 7.5:1


i'm using wossner pistons, and there 6cc dish and my cr is 7.84:1

this is with a 1.2mm gasket

ok and how do i calculate my compression ratio?

first engine build so not too sure on some things, why is it important to take compression into consideration?

Your compression ratio dictates how much boost you can run without detonation, how much lag etc. Loads of things. If you are running race fuel it will amke a big difference too.

Ohh right, now I know!

So I'm safe to use 1.4 Bar max of boost with my setup?

you could run 1.6 bar or even 2bar boost with the wiseco pistons and the 1.2mm gasket.

but yeah 1.4 bar boost will be more than fine.

sorry to hijack ur thread bob

We've tested one of these gaskets out at 1.8bar using Nitrous. Gasket is very strong and holding up over 400+hp.

Just thought I would add in the info for any potential buyers.
