hi guys im new here I recently Saved a 1992 S13 K's From sitting in paddock for 5 years And i know the headgasket is blown.

i have started the car it runs fine just gets hot pretty quick and Bubbles over in the rad from cold to hot so we think its blown on the exhaust side

My question is im looking at an S14 gasket kit this one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fits-JDM-...91a3c19&_uhb=1

And im wondering whats different from the S13 SR20 as S13 Kits here are around 200-300 Dollars... And i cant afford that.

Mods that i know of to the engine is as follows, S15 T28 turbo 12psi, Front mount intercooler, Blow off valve, Turbo timer, 3" stainless exhaust from the dump pipe back.

Intake manifold gaskets are different. Please research more it could've been found in 30secs

That's not even an OEM gasket kit, no offence but if you can't afford 200-300 dollar OEM gasket kit how are you going to afford the gas and insurance to drive the thing around?

Well I wasnt looking for negative comments Straight out of the Gate Being 20 and not having work right now its hard to come up With cash out of no where.

i was looking to see if it could be done Any cheaper If it has to get an oem Set then it will Just Not right now.

ok

ive researched this a fair bit and im allways getting a 50/50 turn out Should i replace it with oem

Or go a full cometic Set ( Now i know that name may cause a flame war in the thread but.. ive seen them in action and they seem to work nicely)
and go for ARP head studs and do it once do it properly?

No on the Cometic, unless you plan on having the head and deck surfaced to the specified finish required for a Cometic. I highly doubt you'll want to do that because you aren't willing to spend 2-300 on an OEM gasket set. Buy the OEM gasket set, throw ARP's in and call it a day, don't over think it.
