Planning on swapping in my HTA Green relatively soon and want to make sure I have everything I need for a clean install with no setbacks. I want to do it right the first time and not be SOL because I'm missing something.

Which gaskets, bolts, oil lines should I replace or upgrade when doing the swap?

Thanks for the help guys!

There are tons of threads on this...Depending on the condition of the gaskets you may or may not need to replace them. Maybe throw a nice coating of the Copper gasket spray stuff on the gaskets before reinstalling them if they are in good shape. Make sure all your nuts and bolts are in good shape thread wise & use plenty of anti-sieze. You will need to replace both oil return line gaskets and the rubber/metal washer for the bolts (4). Also I would suggest replacing all the copper o-rings for the oil & coolant lines. 2 for oil & 4 for coolant. Did you buy the upgraded oil feed line too? What condition are your metal coolant return & feed lines?

hta green , fp recommends there oil ine

i see u have an evo 9 so the water lines are good

verify ur gaskets like the j pipe gasket and the washers for the water line

^^Forgot about the j pipe gasket...that thing is a known boost leak...I recommend putting some high temp silicone on both sides of that gasket before installing it...

Thanks guys, I'm going to purchase the FP EVO 9 oil filter housing line kit and also a complete gasket & washer set from FP. Would I also need a new Exhaust Manifold gasket (the one that goes over the runners)? Or should reusing the stock one over again be fine?

You talking about the gasket that goes between the manifold & head? I've reused that gasket & the one that goes between the manifold & turbo for 3 turbo swaps & 60k miles, haha. Like I said before I just sprayed them with a nice coat of that Copper Gasket spray stuff you can pick up at any autoparts store...
