I NEVER knocked the motor man. Go back and read what I wrote if that's the impression you got. It's a matter of opinion when it comes to max boost on stock internals. Indeed the turbo maxes out at 15 psi (not really max... but is really inefficient after that)... From my research, a large populous agrees that 15 psi is where the stock 3SGTE pistons start having problems regardless of turbos. That doesn't mean it can't live there... it just means the level of tuning required to have the engine run with that level of boost is very high and the room for mistakes is VERY low. As for the dude running 23psi on the stock block... I'll assure you, he's either BS'ing, or he's run 23 psi for a few drag runs and/or dyno runs. I'll gurrantee that a 3SGTE is not gonna live reliably at 23 psi on the stock block. The 3SGTE does not have stock forged pistons (i think the rods may be)... and a lot of forged set-ups are designed for 20+ psi. 20 psi of boost is a whole lot... For example... my cousin has a buddy who built a turbo B18B Integra. They guy did the whole works with forged internals, fuel mods, programmable ECU, etc... and he's blown up the motor 2 times trying to reach 20 psi. Also consider... how many people that have swapped in a 3SGTE in the Celica community have really built their motors? Have you? Maybe some people are content with 8-10 psi with the original engine (7AFE/5SFE)... It's much less of a headache than a swap... regardless of how much better that swap is. No body is denying that. The 3SGTE is a great motor and has a ton of build potential... that doesn't mean a 5SFTE is not... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
