Hey guys,
I'm in a bit of tough spot at the moment. I'm rebuilding my CA18DET and to get a FULL gasket kit it's $600!!!! WTF, but a VRS gasket kit is only $220 (Valve regrind kit).
I was told a VRS kit basically has gaskets from the headgasket up?
If thats true whats so $400 about the rest of the gaskets??????
As I'm not going to pay $600 for a gasket kit, I'll use liquid gasket if I have to.

Can anyone help shed some light on this

The full kit has all base gaskets, seals, and rubber fittings including the turbo flange gaskets. Buy a VRS kit and whatever
additional seals are required.

yeah I think I will have to go that way, oh well

how much does a full a15 gasket kit cost, ohh maybe u can help me ferrol do u know whatoil, apart from the genuine toyota stuff i could use in my supercharger i took the end off and it oozed out so i banged it back on before i lost it all. i wanna see whats inside it but dont wanna lose all my oil.

There is a large range in gasket pricing depending on quality of seals and gaskets. I have seen A15 full sets down to $60 and genuine Nissan full sets at $220

You must use the genuine Toyota supercharger oil. It has special properties to take the high temps and high shear loads at up to 11000 rpm with such a small quantity in each end.
