and i like everything there except the cometic gasket but the build looks good!
I've never had good luck with the cometic gaskets either.

Now i know that ETS, BR, AMS and CBRD are known for quality using garrett cores and stuff.
But remember its a budget build. unless i get a used ETS.

yup, i've actually never heard 'good' reviews about cometic gaskets....
honestly, key part factors such as this (esp h. gasket & studs) i would never 'go cheap' on.... as a matter of fact, i'd like to place ALL my reliability on these parts.... and it's not a toyota who's known for having monster FACTORY gaskets. so if it were me, i would have gone with the power enterprise, or even cozworth.

Yeah 16 cycles i've read that post and many many more. did research for about a year on this project. Read numerous builds on evom.
W2J My choices are SlowBoy racing water pump spacer, English racing modified water pump, I heard the evo 7 original water pump works. What I'll do is compare the existing 4g64 WP to the original evo 7 and then decide.

Evo4-9 is the same pump skip 8, it would not work has to be modified. My choice would be to talk to Lucas from English racing. The expensive "AMS modified gasket" is just Dremeled out version of the OEM to 88mm bore FYI. As I said higher up in the thread you will have a timing issue your will need to go 1-2* of retard timing.

Seeing that its a daily driver what are you're opinions on installing oil squirters?
