Alright so my friend is wanting to do a 5sfe to 3sgte engine swap in his gt... so before we get started on anything i had a question about the 3sgte head gasket...
I currently have a 87 toyota supra and the head gasket is the hole in our armor so to speak... i dont know how much boost we are planning on running with the 3sgte but with the engine out it would be alot easier to do a head gasket swap... but my question is how much boost can a stock hg hold? -------------------- 1994 celica GT.....3sgte in a month! all helpers are welcome!!! i live in Plattsburgh, NY.

the 3sgte dosnt have headgasket issues like the 87 supra did. so dont worry about changing it. i think most mr2 guys report the stock head gasket giving out around 300-400hp, so you have nothing to worry about. the stock turbo runs at about 10psi and you can turn the boost up to 15psi . there is pretty much no risk of blowing the stock HG on the stock turbo.
