Best Metal Gasket Kit !? Tomei, Cometic, Nitto ?

[cobrAA]

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a complete gasket kit made of metal, is it even possible ?

I know the tomei kit include, throttle and both manifold.

The cometic kit say some are metal, some are paper, doesn't really give much information lol..

Tried a search on ebay.. all i see is the tomei kit lol...

Why make it hard for yourself?

Buy them individually. Apart from the head gasket buy the cheapest ones you can find. Manifolds are more about the flatness of the mating surfaces as opposed to the quality of the gasket. If they aint flat, a metal gasket is not going to help. In that instance a non mls gasket is better as it will take up a little bit of cleanrance. The metal gaskets are so thin and they have 0 crush so won't help with clearance issues at all.

With the head gasket the same mentality applies. The cheapest will most likely be Cometic which will be more than adequate unless you're pushing 50psi.

Since i am planning to run 30-40psi in the 4g63, I was told the cometic that came in the gasket kit wouldn't be up to the task, only the Tomei was recommended.

Id agree with the Tomei one being the most highly recomended one.

Im surprised you wernt offered a Nitto one Scotty....not up to it or they dont have one for your engine?

It was a few years ago.

The supplier I went through freaked when I told him the boost I wanted to run, and said only the Tomei would be anywhere near strong enough. I just laughed and told him my stock VQ is taking 30psi like a boss.

I've got a Tomei H/G. The head has been removed and replaced twice and its still fine.
