Haha right?! Live an learn though I try an monitor everything I can with this new motor now. An yeah I haven't seen too many rsx's with a Magnus manifold, I liked that it has built in velocity stacks so I figured I'd try it out! Was gonna go with a center feed but this should prove fine.

That is a huge turbo! You may want to look into a cosworth headgasket though for the powerlevels and boost levels you'll be running.

Cosworth? Haven't heard of em before. I'll check that out though, thanks for the heads up.

Just in doing a quick search in that head gasket I only saw a 90mm bore gasket. And it was only 1.1mm thick. [MENTION=789]VitViper[/MENTION] what gasket are you using? I saw you put some more torque on the head bolts as well, what were those specs if you don't mind me asking.

Vit is using cosworth pretty sure. That's why I recommended it. He lifted his head running like 25 psi or whatever. He got a better head gasket, pretty sure cosworth, and torque the arp head studs above their rating to prevent the head lifting. And cosworth is a company that makes formula one engines and stuff like that.

I understand that. But I wanted to know if he used some specific numbers while torquing the head down after lifting. He said it lifted at 19lbs I believe it over 700whp.

Ya I don't remember the exact boost levels but he has a big turbo so it is moving a LOT of air at 19 psi. Isn't arp's rating 80ft/lbs? I think he may have gone to 100. But hopefully he chimes in here.

Yea I believe arp is around 80ft/lbs. I haven't don't a k series yet so I haven't looked that up. That info I think I remember seeing it on his website "myvtecbroke".

Ya I think 80 is he standard torque rating for arp head studs. He over torqued them in an effort to fix his head lifting I think that and cosworth head gasket did the trick.
