HEY GUYS INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT HEAD GASKETS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN USING ON THERE TURBO A SERIES, ALSO HAVE YOU BEEN USING ARP HEAD STUDS OR JUST STANDARD BOLTS.

im using a monotorque gasket and standard bolts no probs yet

Turn off your caps lock dude.
I've read that nismo head gaskets are really good.

Payen gaskets are good.

Yes, I agree. Payen is a good one.

If you are going to use moderate boost, use a genuine Nissan one or a Payen.
If you are going to go high boost, think about O-ringing the block or a copper head gasket.

nismo race series gasket and arp head kit is the way to go no doubt. only other good option is to o-ring block and copper which involves engine dismantle and machine work which could be costly

I use tomei MLS gaskets, I dont see these leaking with boost,

An engine reconditioner I deal with said that O-ringing is old school, and with modern head gaskets being a lot cleverer than in days of old, it wasn't something he'd recommend.

i got told by my engine builder that the a series had too close bores to o ring anyway.

genuine gasket all the way i reckon

I've used monotorque head gaskets for years, they have been known to fail for time to time, but in my turbo motors i just use a repco head gasket with a shim plate, haven't had any problems so far, standard head bolts is all that you need, even with a shimm plate.

I strongly recommend use a good quality head gasket, saves alot of heart ache when all the hard work that goes into a turbo systems fails only due to a cheaper part( or any part for that matter) It is true what they say................ YOU GET WHAT PAY FOR!!!
