68mm TB on Skunk2 mani! What TB gasket do I need?

[gocivicls]

I have a GSR motor with a Skunk2 mani and a STR 68mm TB. What TB gasket do I need to get. Type R's are 67mm right.

Let me know where to purchase also, THanks!!!!

here's a shot in the dark because i haven't done this and i'm prolly wrong- but i would just buy the regular one and then trim it with a razor to fit the larger tb

 

[gocivicls]

I think if I trimed my TB gasket 60mm to 68mm it would trim to much off and because it is already thin.

 

[Slammed90Lude]

how about going to napa and getting a piece of uncut gasket material- and then cut your own??

 

[gocivicls]

I might go w/ Type R 67mm and trim it!

Anything else anyone?????

i heard you can use an s2000 tb gasket

 

[SixtySecondAssassin]

[posol]

contact STR, ask what they recommend

 

[gocivicls]

OK I'll check with them, thanks!

JDM Type R TB can be found in 67mm. (Search and you shall find!!!)

Yeah, that and you said that you wanted a

68mm TB on skunk2 mani!

in your thread title.

i dont think its bored out. the wals are too thick for it to have been bored out, they would be super thin to bore from 62-67. its probably aftermarket, but it sure does look stock so i dunno.

and sleeper, he said he HAD a 68 mm TB, not he WANTED one.

Just use some gasket maker. I have an Erics racing 70mm TB, thats what they recomended to me. Just use a thin layer by applying with your finger. Put TB on, hand tight'n it, wait for gasket maker to semi-cure then tourqe TB down.
