where to buy ARP headbolts / victor reinz headgasket? or would genuine items be ok on supercharged vr6?

[cpfcvr6 6]

as title guys, who is the cheapest to buy these parts from?? golf vr6 2.8.

 

or would genuine new standard headbolts be ok for a stage 2 supercharger running 8psi @300bhp?? also standard headgasket ok??

 

best regards

a genuin gasket will be victor reinz, it will just have VW tax on top of the price

just called vw and price was £211.74 inc vat for 20x headbolts and a headgasket.

 

i cant see anywhere online on this crap phone that does arp headbolts?? see some on ebay but its only 12x of them where i think there are 20x headbolts if im right??

 

just wondering if standard genuine goods will handle a stage 2 supercharger??

[Daverse 175]

was that for ARP head bolts or ARP rod bolts or main cap bolts? they would have 12

If you aren't gonna be taking the head off every month then get a set of elring or febi head bolts from euro car parts for like 25 quid.

Yea that VW tax is massive!

thats why i wanted ARP for peace of mind!! as i have a stage 2 charger running 10psi.

 

cant find any links here for arp headbolts on this shitty phone!

[Lukey. 381]

Have you looked on eBay for any items? I eventually found a victor reinz HG on there and some people have had luck at euro car parts too. Probably a good place to look for ARP bolts too

[Lukey. 381]

You can disregard the HG bit I've just read you are planning to go spacer gasket.

I got my arp bolts from the USA. Was defiantly cheaper than 211

you dont need them running stage 2 , i been running stage 2 on standard internals , only changed cams..the rest all from factory.

 

why you going spacer gasket for stage 2?

Was some cheaper sets on there a few months back

my headgasket has gone dude, so im going to install a decompression plate while i get my head rebuilt.

 

is it really worth going ARP head bolts or just buying standard headbolts?? price difference is unreal!

[Antihero1981 8]

ok , but unless you going to go stage 3 why the spacer? the psi you running wont be that extreme on the head. 

 

what charger you running? 

 

i would go standard headbolts , unless you got the cash for Apr ones.

 

i think you would drop power by using a spacer gasket on stage 2 with the 8psi

[Sump_slammer 23]

Im in the process of going supercharged. Ns tuning told me not to bother with a spacer plate upto 8 psi and they never fitted one on any of there supercharger conversions and theyve been doing it for over ten years. As for head gasket and bolts dont bother with arp. If you up the

Boost later to 10psi or over - which you cant with a vortech v2 as aparently it over works the charger and will throw its toys out the pram then put a set of arp stud is. As for gasket you can get a victor reinz of ebay or gsf.

[cpfcvr6 6]

this is the charger - vortec V1, i was told by vince its running 8psi, as vince from stealth removed this and checked it over.

Nice bit of kit. Being v1 its got straight cut gears which will make it a little more noisy, not a bad thing as after all id want people to know ive spent money on my car. How much did that set you back?

enough money dude!!

 

but wondering if i have the head skimmed, would i need a decompression plate for the extra skimming taken off to build it up again surely???

Nope as its a flat cylinder head it wont rise the compression.

[Sump_slammer 23]

No quench I think is the proper way of saying it
