Just my 02 though but mine has held 10 second passes for 2 years now so I am inclined to think I am correct in my thinking.

My car just got rod knock... I also got a spare 2jz.. so I guess I will be rebuilding the spare motor. I am only planning about 300-350hp. I got 2 turbos in my posesion ... CT26 and Garret gt35 65 AR/ 76 EX.. And the followig parts .....some 440´s, resistor pack, 3 inch exaust,hks turbo timmer, intercooler and piping,R154 with a stage 3 clutch.
This gaskets is going to be a temporary thing since, I will not go past 8-10 psi. Once the money starts flowing, I will upgrade internals and such.
I am doing all the labor.. so no problem on that side.

gasket
Yes I have seen that and I think with stock head bolts you need the extra cushon for thermal expansion between the steel block and aluminum head however with ARP head studs or L19's this is no longer a valid concern.
Just my 02 though but mine has heald 10 second passes for 2 years now so I am inclined to think I am correct in my thinking.

There is no reason you cant use online parts if they work for your application.
It seems some people have had good results with aftermarket head gaskets and we all know people have always had good results with oem head gaskets.
which one is better? who knows but i would guess it is OEM cause Toyota overdesigned everything on the GTE.
So unless Yamaha starts selling aftermarket headgaskets I'm still going to be using toyota GE or GTE headgaskets made by a vendor that meets their quality/specs.

look , if the cheaper route works for you by all means go for it , i prefer on certain parts in a turbo build to be of the highest quality .. seals ,wastegates turbos etc etc .... guess theres a reason im STILL boosting the original 15 yr old block in my na-t at 600 rwhp on pump gas and still have almost perfect compression on all cyl...

Vendors sell parts, not manufacture them.
Toyota does not make their own parts, they subcontract to Aisin, Denso, etc.
Guess what? Even smaller companies build for Denso, and Aisin, like the millions of them in China, for example.
God I LOVE repeating myself.
You guys "Believe the Hype" too much.
That is understandable since this is pretty close to Supraforums.
One a$$hole says, this works for me. Everybody follows suit. It's hysterical, actually.
Oh, and I never take anyone seriously, when they Text to a forum.
You wanna look like the "Professional" you claim to be? Learn Punctuation.
Good luck with the NA-T No matter what you decide.
Not everyone has the money to say: Look at all the OEM Toyota boxes in my pictures guys! I am a baller!

Oh boy, another "Bolt-on" Warrior. Saw someone do it, and thought "Hey, I can bolt stuff together too"!
You don't tune, you don't weld, and I'm supposed to listen like you are teaching me something?
And you still haven't come up with a reason for the copper, 4 posts later. Good job.
This is my point exactly, you Do NOT know what you are talking about. So don't make recommendations.
So why copper? Why OEM? WHy? WHy? why. Why? WHY? How come? Whats the reason? uh? Why?
I don't know if you guys know this or not, but the head and block aren't supposed to move. And they won't because Toyota built it.
It's all in the machining, $30 gasket or $300 GReddy JDM Tite Gasket, it don't matter. 2jz
I use logic and reason, you use Bandwagon internet trends, and text messaging.
Don't try to tell me **** I already know, especially without a logical reason for it. Kay?
OP get the Cheap gasket, period.
Unsubscribed.
