4Agte Headgasket

[cp1989]

hi guys, relatively new to this.

i have a ae92 corolla seca 4agze converted to turbo.

I'm looking at doing the headgasket on it because it is running a bit badly at the moment.

can anyone help me out with the best gasket to use?

I'm after things like

 

*brand?

*thickness?

*material it is made from?

*& locations of where to get it from and prices?

any help would be really good.

I'm after the best, i don't want to be redoing it.

thanks guys

what makes you think the headgasket is the problem?

 

ive never had any dramas with ACL branded stuff, or you can just get a genuine toyota one.

Running badly? So its getting hot?

 

Multi layer steel gasket is the only way to go for boost

Standard thickness (1mm or 1.2mm can't remember) 0.7mm is for poor mans high comp.

TRD / HKS / Cometic - Haven't heard too many complaints about them

Don't forget new head bolts or ARP head studs if you want to make it hold bigger boost for longer.

start up is very lumpy, only starting up on 2-3 cylinders 4th kicks in after while blowing out heaps of smoke.

and loosing coolant internally, done many cooling system pressure tests and found no problems from hoses.

 

no worries, thanks for the help fellas.

14psi, wanna make sure i get good stuff.

cheers
