Boosted Performance single turbo build

Boosted Performance

My goal is to have it off the lift by May 1st.



Never had an issue with those, as I use them on the 350z kits. The key to a non metal gasket is to go back and re-torque them after a couple of heat cycles. You do this because they compress a bit, and there is not as much force clamping them down.

The car that is being worked on had Stillen headers, and aftermarket test pipes. These were leaking a lot with the metal gasket.

I will see how this works out and as mentioned earlier, nothing will be sold untill this kit is working perfect.

on the way you work.

Many companies release products that are half-assed which only causes more headaches.

That's why I am asking, yes the Berks gaskets are HORRIBLE on the 370. They blow out left and right. The 350 has no problem with them.

I know that you are mainly a 350 guy, and they gasket issue is 370 specific. This is why I am bringing it to your attention.

If the factory gasket is an option please try to work that into your system.

this is the factory 370Z gasket.

I've never seen a gasket like that on my Z. Is that what you have between the stock headers and the cats? When I put my Berk HFC's on the factory gasket looked just like the Berk one but the Berk was a bit thicker.

Flyboy is correct, that is the factory gasket as per Nissan parts departments. It mounts between the lip of the factory cat and the beveled surface in the stock exhaust manifold and is pressed between the two creating a seal.

Personally I also went through a few of the gaskets Motordyne supplies with their ART pipes until I installed the motordyne gasket WITH the stock factory gasket carefully positioned and tacked up with high temp gasket maker and so far have had zero issues in 3 or 4 months. Compared to the Motordyne gaskets lasting one dyno tuning session on my SCed car.
