Another BHG

[Jimbo]

I have the hook up at a local parts store and before I buy a Felpro brand Head Gasket, I wanted to know if you guys think it'll be fine to use on an NA daily driver?

For sure. But you want to make sure your head isn't warped. Remove the head and have it checked. Then go from there k.

WOOOhhh.. Are you being ashamed to be N/A.. Some decency man, Its still a supra :icon_bigg

 

[Jimbo]

Hell naw Im not ashamed. Besides the 91 and 87 turbos I have, this one was my first baby! I just wanted to make sure the Felpro HG will handle the job as an alternative to a $tealership one.
Is it graphite material?

 

[hvyman]

It will do fine just torque to the head bolts to 72.

how is that being ashamed of having an n/a?...........

 

[hvyman]

If anything the n/a would be less suspect able of blowing a hg. But if torqued correctly the n/a should last forever.

 

[kamikazemkiii]

Or atleast untill he spins a bearing
I kid, I kid.

 

[hvyman]

Bearings are only spun unless ran without oil or contaminated. Rod knock is not common on 7m's. Idiot owners cause rod knock. Common misconception that needs to stop.

 

[Jimbo]

So it will do fine on an NA.
What about on a turbo with a goal of say 350-400 ponies?

 

[xzeror]

if its done right i think stock gasket would be good around the 300 range. Devin Blanc just turbo'd his 7mge and is running stock headgasket torqued with arp bolts or studs not sure.

 

[hvyman]

Stock hg is fine there just needs to be no lean spots. If you have a problem or are going to be boosting it hard make sure you have the tuning.

 

[87M-GTE]

OEM HGs have been taken over the 500rwhp mark in the past.

It really is all about the tune and if it is built correctly.
The least you can do is get the head checked and milled for straightness.

Is the felpro gasket a MLS HG?
I would recommed a OEM HG and ARP Studs.

I have a spare OEM HG and a machined head ready to go, pm me if you are interested.

No the felpro is a stock other manufactured hg replacement.
