Car in question is an '85 P-type. I have read I should use a HKS metal head gasket (mhg) for the turbo swap I am about to undertake. I have a fresh head (valve job, new cams, springs, no bump in compression from machining, etc.), and am using a stock low miles bottom end. I plan to run 6psi boost, or so.
So far my parts list reads like this;
CT26, manifold (modified to fit p/s bolt) and ic from an 88 turbo
stock shortened downpipe from same 88 turbo
HKS Powerflow air filter
90deg oil filter relocator kit
SAFC
RRFPR 10/1 ratio
oil cooler
Plan to get Rabidchimp oil line kit
2.5" downpipe to tail pipe using Magnaflow mufler
I plan to make ic piping from comercial food service grade stainless mandrel bent and straight sections, available locally cheap. What am I leaving out. I have the articles from Jim King and others, so I feel prepaired. I run a auto repair shop, and am a decent mechanic.
Thanks for your replies.
