im trying to find the right gasket set for my sr and i ended up buying a s13 black top and was wondering if there would be anything different i should look for i.e is the redtop have different gaskets on the s13 then the black
I was looking at the gasket set on frsport and was going to go with this one

Cometic Streetpro Engine Gasket Kit 87.5mm Head Gasket S13 SR20DET (http://www.frsport.com/Cometic-Streetpro-Engine-Gasket-Kit-87-5mm-Head-Gasket-S13-SR20DET_p_16678.html)

But i am also wondering if it would be better to buy an oem set instead cause ive seen a few things about cometic when i was trying to search for my answer.... anyways quickest best answers asap would be appreciated as i would like to get my car back on the road

From what I have read and heard Both blacktops and redtops are the same exact thing. Just that the Blacktops are newer and have less mileage on them. I have heard bad things about Cometic Head Gaskets but I am sure there are as many good things said from other people about them. Me personally I went with the Apexi Head gasket. I would go with an OEM kit that Doesn't bring the Head Gasket and buy that separately (something like Cosworth or Apexi).

as long as it's for an S13 SR your fine. don't bother with cometic gaskets. go with an apexi,hks,or cosworth HG.

oem HG is alright but isn't great for high boost units. if your running on a stock turbo then it's fine.
