Thread: ARP headstuds??

Will the stock DE ARP headstuds work on a sr20ve?? I am considering boosting mine and have them laying around form a previous buid and thought I would use them.

If they are not worth using then I will just sell them.

Also what head gasket is recommended for this application?? A VET maybe?

thanks

Sell em and get new stocks. VET headgasket is good.

I would use them but that just me and I know people say they dont bottom out but your not going to be making over 400hp so you wont have to worry about it.

sell them. mazworx's sells the correct head stud.

Yeah if i decide to boost the VE I want them and a VET gasket. I made 400+ on them and they never lifted....

The new studs are the 220K tensile strength. But they still don't bottom out. Regardless, I have used both kinds and the new set has held up to 26psi without any issues. I am currently using a cometic with ARPs, but the stock 20V headgasket seemed to fit better.

There is not a doubt in my mind they will hold anything my setup can throw at em.

I was running 22psi with the arps and never had a problem, so I will continue to use them and when i eventually turbo my VE with a gt30 or something better I will use them and a cosworth or VET headgasket!

Wasn't there something about arp swaping out old headstuds for new ones free of charge. Anyone know? Thanks!

X1000 sell those biches, do it right.

lol, bro! just get her runnin an drivin b4 you go boostin..
