well my gasket situation just keeps getting better 😢 😈 :x

thats why the turbo in my car wasnt working when i bought it. the owner had used excessive amounts of gun gum, which had broken off inside the manifolds and got jammed between the turbo blades and the exhaust housing.

once out of there - the motor ran ok for a little while!!!

but its the reason i got a bargain 200sx, instead of the normally priced one!!!

if the turbo's not spooling, you aint revving hard enough

Chemcool, I will keep you posted as to what's is happening.
I getting the gaskets from Charl, but don't know now, after reading the above thread. maybe I should get them from Nissan, & also check Autozone for the payen stuff like charl said.

I'm so con fuss ed.
😢

Just an update.
After pulling the manifold with turbo attached, I found that the manifold was cracked. (In between turbo & manifold).
I was glad that the job I did before on the gaskets, must of been pretty good, because instead of popping a gasket the manifold broke....Damn I'm good. 🙂

Anyway, I spoke to phinx, you might have one for me. So let'shope all is good.

I must say, the help I got from Freddie, Charl & now Phinx is truly f*cken awesome. Charl went out of his way to drop off gaskets for me. freddie phoned & was willing to help me pull out the turbo, & still phoned me to make sure I came right with the manifold. Phinx is bringng the damn thing to work for me too see, & almost giving it to me.

I'm so glad that Toby took his passion for the SX further then your average person. The people I have came across, are the most friendliest ever. It's actually strange to witness this level of generosity & humility. So thanks again guys. I will put an article together as I have taken pics of the whole process...I'm out.

excellent!

well done to all involved, i like to see this kind of help, and this kind of thanks too!!!

those manifolds are apparently renowned for cracking.

nice.
