i have recentley done a tubo coversion on the saxo vtr and it blew the headgasket up so i hae fixed it but before i put it bk together i was wondering if the is any think i can do it so it dont blow up again
like would 2headaskets fit aswell as a 1and half mill aluminium plate wuld that lower the compresion and wont low up aain cheers ;)

do you have the decompression plate fitted already? also how much boost are you running

[ian_saxo]

i have just had it fitted and its blew the engine up
its tottaly standard nw but want to put it all bk 2 gether but dont want it to blow up again
runnin at 6psi boost

[Rob-C]

so its running at 6psi and you have a decomp plate, what size head gasket are you using? and what management are you using for extra fueling

[ian_saxo]

i aint got a de-comp plate i was thinking of gettin 2x headgasket and a 1.5mm aluminium gasket
and im running it with a fifth injector ;)

[Rob-C]

so you hadnt done anything to lower the compression?

you want a thicker head gasket and a decompression plate mate

1mm decomp plate you can get here... http://www.ferriday.co.uk/orders/decompression_plates.shtml

1.7mm head gasket you can get here... http://www.gmcmotorsport.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21_91&products_id=223

1 last question on this subject
so i only need 1 comp plate
and 1x 1.7 headgast
wot seals the head/block to the comp plate or do i need 2 headgaskets 2 sandwitch the comp plate
cheers ian ;)

With only 6psi and adequate cooling, and a proper ignition and fueling map, you won't need lower compression!!!!!

You may be blowing the head gasket because it needs skimming.

Kind regards
