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?

too bad!
what went wrong with the wastegate? the hose came off? or just a cheapo one?
the diaphragm popped a nice hole in it.

Jesus, that sucks.
Yay for headgaskets that act like fuses.
What wastegate are you using?
alex
it better to pop a headgasket then a piston and it a Tial knock off but it worked sweet for about a year

Sorry to hear that....I tried to warn you about that knock off tial. Hopefully thats the only problem.
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 a bit late in this thread but that sucks to hear u have to pull it apart again. Your car soends more time off the road than a rotary. If it says made in china dont buy it, Knockoff parts just suck, Ok for a while but then they will cause you fail
suckssssss
head gaskets over here cost $60NZ for the gasket
man that sucks...hope it gets done quick..cuz we need an all cali meet

I been looking for a waste gate but i have not found what i want. And i hope the head gasket is the only problem to.
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.
