First of them, how do you guys connect your RR FPR / FMU? Do you leave your stock FPR in the place, or do you remove it? Cuz all the setups that i saw, had they stock FPR's in place? How would you recomend to do this?
Second thing, that keeps me crazy, is what do you do with your Head gasket? Do you leave this one stock, and cross finger that it wound blow, or you just change it to somthing? Cuz seems that no one has 7A triple metal head gasket for sale, and the company that i makes thme here, just backed out, and they wount be able to make me custom metal head gasket..... What to do at this place? Thanks, Dogg....y -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

You have to leave it if you're using an add on rising rate regulator (which is what I recommend). Bell engineering makes a nice unit. Thats what I'll be using. The stock 7a head gasket is metal, or at least metal reinforced. It should do just fine up to some pretty high levels of boost (10psi I would think no problem). In fact a head gasket of this type acts as a 'fuse' of sorts. If you're getting detonation that you can't hear, it will often blow a stock head gasket before it melts a piston (but not always). This can sometimes warn you of problems before you break expensive parts. |
