ok im almost done with my poorman build but need some small stuff to finish. :D

i was wondering what thickness headgasket i should get for it? I wanna go boost in the future but can't afford it right now. So I want a head gasket that is thick enough to lower the compression for safe boost but also not too much to where i want it to drive it n/a first.

any suggestions would be great! :D

if you plan on boosting, just get the OEM headgasket :thumb:

Thanks! If oem is the way to go, which gasket should I get? Gsr, type r?

Can anybody give me prices on a type r water pump, timing belt, and gsr pump.

Thanks

The gasket are all the same between a b16 gsr and itr and ctr , the waterpumps are all the same too, there a 22T pump , and a gsr and itr timing belt are the same as well, when I did my poor man's I got the felpro gasket for a gsr and got the gsr timing belt, I never had any problems, hope this helps :thumb:
