Ouch sucks.

You can get gaskets fron this company if you want:

http://bgautomotive.co.uk/

That's what I'm using on my car. They're located in the UK and give fast shipping. You can always order 2 or 3 gaskets... just in case something goes wrong.

The gasket you need is this part number CH8303

if the block was o ring grooved it would have bent a rod or something? or would that have saved the gasket?

Well i hope its an easy fix. What are you running for fuel management. You should in vest in something with over boost protection. I'm running eCtune and have my over boost set at a pound of boost above what i want to run, If it hits it the ecu will cut ignition until the throttle is lifted.

what headgasket were you using that blew? just stock/oem?

could also look at getting a copper gasket. they are a bitch to get installed 'properly' but should hold well once they are properly installed especially if you get some nice head studs/bolts. :)

Im using crome and it did cut off but it went from 8psi to 20+ just like that then pop and a shit load of white smoke.

The head gasket i am using is AJUSA it better then the stock head gasket but not meant to do 20+psi.And i called GASKET WORKS USA to see about a copper head gasket and it going to set me back about $180 for it so if i blow another one i am going copper gasket. And i do have APR Head studs. Here some pic's of the ajusa head gasket.

My boost controller was acting up and i had spikes into the mid 20's for a period of time and my gasket (OEM Honda) with ARP studs never did blow. I also beat the crap out of it because Raceeng screwed me when i bought my pistons and the rings were not meant for boost so i beat it knowing i had to rebuild it all. So i had a lot of spikes with no blown headgaskets. This is why i really want an OEM gasket im skeptical of the aftermarket ones but i think were screwed trying to get OEM honda gaskets.

Definately get a Tial i have my 35mm i would consider selling but pm me if it comes to that.

2oodoor
09-25-2008, 01:41 PM
what do you think about increasing the torque up to 65+ like someone said on PP?
The gasket looked like decent quality in the picture, and with the studs the ideal torque may not necessarily match oem recommendtion anyway.

VERY interesting epiphony TWOLOUDNPROUD
I think you're definately on to something there
(credit to autozone for the following information)
On all models except 1988-89 DOHC Prelude and 1992-95 Preludes with 2.3L and VTEC engines, tighten the head bolts following sequence A. On 1988-89 DOHC Preludes, use sequence B. Use sequence C on 1992-95 Preludes with 2.3L and VTEC engines.

A) On 1984-89 Accords and 1984-91 Preludes, tighten the bolts in two passes. The first pass should bring the bolts to about 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm). On the second pass, tighten the bolts to their final torque of 49 ft. lbs. (68 Nm).

B) On 1990-93 Accords, tighten the bolts to 29 ft. lbs. (40 Nm) on the first pass, 51 ft. lbs. (70 Nm) on the second pass, then tighten the bolts to their final torque of 78 ft. lbs. (108 Nm).

C) On 1994-95 Accords and 1992-95 Preludes, the bolts are also tightened in three passes. Tighten the bolts to 29 ft. lbs. (40 Nm) on the first pass, 51 ft. lbs. (70 Nm) on the second pass, then tighten the bolts to their final torque of 72 ft. lbs. (100 Nm).

does your 4-1's make your engine sound like a subaru? m,y mates b20b integra sounds like its got a constant missfire with his b series 4-1 headers

i really want some 4-2-1's for my car as i need to make mid power as thats where the b20a pwns all other engines.

11-13-2008, 10:10 PM
nah it sounds sweet as eh.
had a wee bit of a rasp at times,sorta like that horrid toyota rasp but i added a res and it made it just bout go away.so it has a coby where cat was and a pretty much straight thru rear muffler.
i dont think the b20a needs mid range, more like it needs top end.
with the headers and the full exhaust, it hauls all the way to redline with no drop off in power that you can feel with the s,o,p dyno.

they are off a 3g accord he says something about an a20a when you can definately see its not from an a20a so they have to be b20a

anyone interested lol
he says those where made in china, they will probably make your cam belt snap and bend all your valves :(

thats a bit harsh bout the b20a5 bits eh aaron
the headers are listed as fitting the b20a3 aswell.

lol its an old joke, about b20a5 engines sucking in general cause 3g ludes are slow as.
not mocking yours as they no longer fit a b20a5/3 etc hahahaha

i think im just going to design my own headers like alex says. so i can make power where i need it not above or below like using a header off another motor. that makes power in different areas

Your motors a blacktop, nearly the same as a b20a5 so maybe they will help you out, but my gold top makes power higher in the revs than a blacktop..well it will when it gets rebuilt.. lol

dunno whats been wrong with black tops you've owned aaron but mine makes the best of its power above 5grand, thats prob due to the secondary butterflies opening tho.
have never driven anything with a gold top so cant really comment on them other than i never had probs beating up 2g pooludes or da vtec tegs either for that matter. and would even be as bold to say that it'd be quicker than my 5g sir . will have to have a kiwi get together when i have the girl going and see what just what the diff is eh nudge nudge wink wink

that smokey blacktop i had was great for 200kms pulled hard from 4k right to the revlimiter, that was all the single runner b16a2 intake manifolds doing it, then it got smokeyer and slow and gay

i tow a lot of shit with my car so thats why i dont wanna steal all its low end. my other b20a 5 speed gold top can pull itself a 740kg car trailer and a crx up a mountain in 3rd gear at 4000rpm. i want to keep that ability haha

im not mocking your blacktop. to be honest i cant notice a difference between the speed of a gold top vs a blacktop.

i dont have a tow bar anymore but did tow a 2 axle salvage trailer with an sr coupe on it a few times.
but it didnt like it so i threw the t bar away and saved myself 40kg in the process.

Ouch......Well i didn't throw in the towel yet. I still am determined to get a nicely boosted B20A on the road. Im hoping 2009 will be promising for the B20A's as it seems the boosted ones have not left any good results thus far.

Wish you the best Twoloud.....

yeah twoloud was the only one i know of activly boosting around dailing in a turbo b20a powered accord. whos it going to be next

Good luck with your b20a T in 2009 and dont blow all those head gaskets at once:)

RobT5580

I had mine boosted at 17PSI contantly when i had it running and if i was going to blow a gasket it would have happed because i had boost spikes into the mid to high 20's. This is why i was eager to get my hands on some oem honda gaskets. I ran my oem gasket with copper spray and ARP head studs.

Im trying to get something going by the summer time and just run it in the chassis i have now. But im going to be looking for a new chassis to build once the B20A Turbo is running sound again. I have 90% of the parts to get it going i just need to rebuild my block, get a new turbo, EMS, and make a new manifold since i sold my old one to twoloud.

how much did your turbo set up cost you and what all have you done to it? Also what tune are you using?

Not sure if this was directed at me or not but you can see my 3geez garage up top. As for cost it was far more than anyone would ever want/plan to spend but i went all out on pretty much all my parts. Plus i was the guinea pig as far as having a boosted B20A so it was more trial and error. And i was running a OBD-1 AEM EMS on my car but i might be going with something else this time around.
