I had a Chance to pick up a wrecked MR2, which I took out the 3sgte, Tranny, and wiring harness in complete, for 1100$. I thought it was a pretty decent deal so I went with it.
I am picking up a 94 St pretty quick like and would like to swap. I want to make between 300-350hp ( like 350 at like 20psi or so). will this engine be able to withstand that easly? And Ive been told I would be better going with a 3rd Gen 3sgte, but I am not tryin to make insane HP, so I hope this one will work. Ive been talking to alot of people about this swap. I personaly dont want todo it myself or have someones "friend" do it, But I cant find a shop around here who feels like the could do it, or when talking to them they sound shady. So I am kinda at a Stand still, any thoughts or anything would be nice. DTE -------------------- I am a thief.
do not buy anything from me. |

uh i dont know about the engine. but the ct-26 cant handle 20psi.. well it can but your gasses are going to be running really hot and yeah its not a good idea.
i know the 3s-gtes bottom end is iron so i would think itll hold boost pretty well. i think stock boost cut-off is like 12-14. so maybe 20psi. read up a lot on the swap and if youve got some free time and a big garage you should do it yourself. -------------------- Former: 96 GT 5 speed (i/p/e) Fate- rear ended by mack truck
