Either I typed in wrong stuff or I'm an idiot today.....almost gave a guy a $1200 discount at work. I am strongly considering buying a turbo setup from someone.Can I just use a stock exhaust manifold gasket for it?from block to mani?and what other gaskets might I need?It has a downpipe.

yes you can use the same gaskets from your stock exhaust manifold....just make sure their not beat up in anyway...a lot of things need gaskets...mostly things that have a high chance of leaking things out such as air or oil. so you can kind of guess what things need gaskets...most of the things you buy are going to come with gaskest anyway

I've got some brand new, never used OEM Nissan exhaust gaskets (4) that I needed to special order from Nissan (and therefore, cannot return) @ $11.99 a pop! Make me an offer if you want them....I also have a ton of other gaskets too that I'll put up for sale soon too...

i used exhuast manifold gaskets from advanced auto parts $10 for all 4, they have been on for well over a year now. you need the gasket between the turbo and manifold (depends on the turbo) some people use one between the turbo and downpipe

Yes, they're for the KA24DE. I ended up using the OEM nissan gaskets but have a set of four Fel-Pro exhaust mani gaskets, in addition to tons of other gaskets. I just posted a for sale ad in the Nissan parts section of the forum.

Same here. I also used a gasket for turbo-to-downpipe from http://www.atpturbo.com Its a T04 downpipe gasket.
