Thumbs up Evo X engine upgrade hint part 1

For those of you that will or are in the process of building the 4b11t and dont know how to replace the stock head bolts for better ones here is a solution we discovered working along with the engineers of ARP, the stud kit from a Honda B18C engine will fit perfectly the new mitsu aluminum block.

We have some few more tricks that we will share as we test them. thanks to Abdiel from Artec (TransmisionesPR.com) and the guys from ARP for this.

Ahhh thanks for the tip! I wonder if ARP will rebox them as Evo X studs after some testing then. I guess there are only so many thread pitches and stud lengths in use, eventually some are going to overlap and be correct for the specs you need. Nice find!

i dont know i would stick with the ARP.
I'm sure if you say so the honda is works too, but the ARP is designed for the 4B11T the honda is not. And just feel myself better, if i have the ARP in it , so i wouldnt do it.
Just like this , i like many other factory rims and might they even fit on the X .
But i wouldn't use the AMG or the Brabus rims on my evo even if they a perfect fit. They looks good and they pricey too. Also i think they are great rims..BUT ...maybe just me.

^^I don't think he's talking about using the factory studs from a Honda B18C engine, it's the ARP studs for the Honda engine to use as an upgrade for the 4B11T.
