high compression gaskets

where do i go to get high compression gaskets i cant find a company that has them please help.. im rebuilding my ka for a turbo got every thing but high compression gaskets

I believe you are looking for head gaskets.Check this out.

You want to lower your compressoin

i have a ka24e not a ka24de.. well i just need gaskets i cant find them anywhere not even autozone carries them

[deviousKA]

I sell them, anything you need just contact me or click the link in my sig.

Wouldn't you want high compression gaskets for an NA car and lower compression for turbo for more boost?

^ yes....

[deviousKA]

Headgasket thickness is the most improper way to change compression ratio. Thickness that is different than stock changes the distance between the upper and lower timing chain gears. Thicker gasket will advance cam timing, thinner (or shaved deck/head) will retard cam timing. Adjustable timing gears can make up for this but the chain will still have to much or to little slack compared to oem which is not good.

That makes sense but wouldn't increasing compression also increase the risk of detonation in a turbocharged engine? Just curious, how would be the correct way to change the compression ratio?

[deviousKA]

To lower the compression properly for a turbo setup, pistons with more dish volume than stock are required. For high compression setup, piston dish volume is the main option as well, or you can also weld volume into the combustion chamber which i would not suggest for any kind of novice.

higher compression than stock is not the way to go when turboing, although there has been some discussion on the subject. I believe demcj was pondering the comparison of higher compression/low boost vs. lower compression/higher boost. The latter is a proven method and naturally detonation is less for any amount of boost with lower compression. Considering same engine/cylinder head design.

Heres a piston dish volume compression ratio comparison chart for both ka24e and ka24de.

hey well this is the first engine ive done and im learning thats what the forum is for to learn and im learning i just need a gasket that will run with a turbo.. some guy as a store told me i should have high compresson gaskets... so i was lookin for them... but u people would know better so yea.. i need some gaskets so ill gonna buy them from that site..thats all i need

[90240s13]

i need titanium valve springs, performance valves, rockerarms and camshaft

is ther a way to tell if you have the early nismo pistons. i thought you could tell my the serial number on the engine block but i am not sure what numbers it was. anyone?
