I have to fix a manifold leak. The 219 WHP was with the leak and leaning out. I'm sure that's why the boost took forever to build. Stacking up headgaskets? Doesn't sound like a good idea, man. I check...

I ended up returning the Cometic headgasket. It needed modification and I didn't want to gamble. I'm planning on breaking this engine (so I can install forged internals) but I want to do it in a safe ...

Well, I finally got around putting the head in. I ended up returning the Cometic 4A-GE headgasket and getting an OEM dual layer metal one. Car started up fine, but I noticed compression went back to 2...

330 WHP is overkill on our cars. All you get is wheelspin and passengers screaming for you to stop. I rode on my buddy's 5th gen Celica (which is heavier than ours) and he was pushing about that same ...

I lost track long time ago. Between the price of brand new parts (I never bought cheap brand stuff or used parts) and redoing some things over and over, I could've done two 3S-GTE swaps plus mods for ...

I have no clue. Maybe 180-190 WHP. It felt pretty fast, though. It climbed to 80 very quick, and that was with two other people.

Well, I had two buddies of mine in the car, but we weren't planning on breaking it because I didn't even know I had that crappy gas in the tank. If not, it would've held fine. It pulled so good, LOL. ...

Hmmm. I'm not going to risk it. The guy explained me how the headgasket works and the reason why they cover the jackets some. I'll just use an OEM one. Besides, it broke not because of the boost, but ...

You have to understand that I didn't get to do any of that in high school. I was poor. I didn't have a car. I didn't have a girlfriend. Like Eddie Murphy said in Delirious, "These are my f@ck years......

So you're saying that the gasket will not work, Steph?
It shipped on the 7th. I swear I'll boost 20 PSI with it if it covers the coolant passages too much.

Mine burns so much gas, I'm always looking for gas leaks and I've found none. Everything checks out. If I nail it, I can see the gas needle go down. If I cruise off-boost, it burns as much gas as a V6...
