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.
