new and need help please

hi im new to the forum and need some help with my s14!
just got my car and new to the turbo game!

i need some help with the oil leak and a mani to turbo casket?

dont know how to upload pic

oil leak= on the the botom of the tappet cover there seems to be a triangle that joins the tappet cover! there where the vvl cam is....(dont no what its called) this is on the notch top sr20det (does it need a gasket or just sealer)

manifold to turbo= sounds like there is a hole in the exhaust!
check it and notice that there is exhaust gas is blowing like mad!!
Between the mani and exhaust housing!! how can it be fixed? new gasket?? (where do i get it??) or can u fix it with loctite gray gasket sealer?

hey man where are you located
I dont kno the sr20 but for your manifold u can just get a new steel gasket

got a multi layer steel gasket for you, i am in roodepoort. just clean v cover and put back with grey silicon

thanks for the help guys
does anyone know about the hellite midas sell? can that be used + locktite gray?

to be honest ill only use locktite grey again and again and again it has never failed me worth the 100bucks per tube i have 3 sitting in my tool box

like i say i use it on my motor i do not have one single gasket in my motor besides the thick rubber and headgasket

i even use it here at work on most jobs where sealing is very inportant

hentiebez that will be great whats the damage?

LoL, at least its not Vaseline....

Poizen i know you've proved it on your engine that the sealant works and you don't need the gasket but I'd never suggest using anything other than a nissan steel gasket before the turbo. Imagine what will happen if you put too much sealant and a piece breaks off inside under vibration...Goodbye turbo blades!

I think it's safe to say that the safer route is a steel gasket to prevent unecessary failures, unless you have access to the correct machinery to make all surfaces flat and you use only just enough sealant, but i wouldn't even do it!

Just my 2c

come around and see if it is what you want then we can talk wouldnt be much

thanks poizen
i will do so!! im also very big fan of locktite gray!
just a bit (alot) inexperienced with the turbo side of life

mayb its my luck use my info at your own risk i know what im doing and i took responsability for it but i cant know for sure if others do it right

SO USE AT OWN RISK

hows that better hahaha

also remember if your manifolds and turbo are not in any way 100% surfaced grinded then youll waste your time so make sure they are perfect straight

poizen: thanks will do so!

steel gasket + locktite howz that! best of both worlds

hentiebez: addres please or where can we meet up?

yes always best to do it the albany way

haha 😛

Only reason why I voice my concern is not everyone has the same knowledge and skills as you and things can go very wrong if not done properly.

thats very true
