anybody had experiance with these on rs turbo.???

 

Dont waste your time

 

Dave, do you remember the Blue Nova GSi at AVA? Was there for years! It was a 1600 GSi Turbo, and the un-named company that originally turbo'd it had used 2 headgaskets!!!

 

are these the same as the copper headgaskets they do?

 

Rab, aye i do probably STILL there, was the last time i was down

bob s2zvh, no, it is an aluminium plate whcih requiers 2 head gaskets to seal.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME

 

the ferriday copper spacer plate only needs one gasket apparently, he reckons it is an extension of the block and will seal without.

 

i cant see how one gasket can seal 2 gaps think about it. . firing rings aint there for the fun of it

 

well thats what i asked him, why would you need a gasket for one side but not for the other? he reckons the copper is up to the job of taking on comustion temps.

 

Dave, the Ferriday engineering decomp plate is basically a copper H/G that you can have as thick as you want to lower compression.

Radient Red, It's waaaaaay better than a de-comp plate. Worth the money.

Dave, I first saw that Nova 7 years ago

 

hmmm, i wouldnt trust it, a cheep way to lower CR. .

not so much combustion temps, but compression and firing

 

theres a couple of big big power cossies running copper gaskets!

 

found this on it. .

it hought it was the aluminium decomp plates at first, but if the copper ones work then

 

i thought they were just a one piece copper gasket! is the not ht eblack saph on here that uses one? think the guys user name is the rapid one?

 

Dave......... You nugget. I use copper gaskets on the turbochargers on me ship. 700°C without problems. And thats a constant temp for weeks at a time.

 

i have just used one, they are a solid piece of copper, you use 1 headgasket of any type you like, the decomp plate is sealed to the block with some stuff he gives ya, it certainly aint the cheap way either as the decomp plate was 135quid, mick rogers etc use them so they must be shit seeing as how his is so slow and dont work properly with his 10 sec 1/4 miles, because its copper it gives where the rings etc are and seals to the block 100% perfect every time providin its done correctly 'APPARENTLY!'
i will let you know how i get on but mike from ferriday knows his stuff and reckons he has zero probs with them and they work perfect, has anyone heard anything to the contrary or is it just codswallop and chinese whispers

 

they are very good have used one on a fiesta turbo running 18psi with no problems

using it as a decomp plate or full gasket mate?
