"Buyer will be responsible for obtaining a new gasket that goes between the down pipe and exhaust manifold adapter (indicated by the yellow arrow in picture) as well as new bottom O-rings for the RC 310 injectors."

if your going metal to metal you dont really need a gasket as long as both sides are clean
the injector o rings are just lil rubber o rings
go to honda and buy some

 

[slambed_civic]

or just go to your local parts store and get the injecor o rings, theyll be the same size

 

[edhgreatone]

are all orings the same size? if i go to honda and I ask to buy orings what do i tell them???? I want orings

go to your local honda dealer and ask for injector O-Rings. it cost only a couple dollars or so for the 4 inj. the gasket, like evan said. you dont really need them. its not necesarry unless the 2 parts that bolt on to each other is casted good and not totally flat against each other.

just ask for an injector seal kit... theyll know what you need.

 

[slambed_civic]

dont listen to anyone that says you dont need gaskets... if you didnt need them honda would not have put them in there...

and the metal gasket you can get from greddy, you do need that one to seal properly for a turbo, leaks will be bad and will effect the performance of the turbo.

 

[evan2]

you dont need a gasket going metal to metal, whoever told you did is silly.
Ive boosted a gsr and didnt use the gasket on the wg...
hell my dp to turbo didnt even have one
of course i ran one on the head to the mani

metal to metal is the same thing... as long as the metal is smooth you are good to go and it actually makes a better seal.. same can be said with exhausts

 

[edhgreatone]

do you think i could get a greddy gasket thing from a local shop like a pep boys or autozone

 

[importlegions]

dude the injector orings are tiny lil o rings that are cheap as hell, but are def. important, it should be like 4 dollars or so for all 4

 

[edhgreatone]

the guy gave me the old gasket and said it was a clamp gasket and that I should buy a new one. Do you guys think this could be re-used???

 

[edhgreatone]

somebody answer this last question can the old gasket be reused?

 

[edhgreatone]

here is a picture of the old gasket should i replace it?

 

[edhgreatone]

it looks big in the picture but it is actually really small and is very thin

 

[slambed_civic]

somebody answer this last question can the old gasket be reused?

you can. is it recommended. no.

 

[edhgreatone]

it using the old gasket better then not having a gasket at all?

 

[Tom]

just get a new one from greddy and get the o-rings from honda the small ones will run you about 1.25 each and then theres tax to add to that, plus your going to want to get the larger o-rings that sit in the intake manifold that hold the injectors, and they run 6.60 each plus add tax to them also, you don't have to replace the larger ones but it's recommended if your changing the injectors.

i called the guy that sold me the kit and he got me the part numbers for the orings and i have them on hold at honda 20 dollars total oh and in DE there is no sales tax so hehe no adding tax here... and i called a speed shop about the gasket and he told me that they order greddy parts all the time and to just bring it by and they'll see what they can do
