So I know this is mostly a honda and domestic forum but I know the general custom turbo talk that goes on here is universal. What I want to know is is there anyone here who has experience with a 5SFE swap or have any info on 5s limitations. I have done lots and lots of searching but everything I find is either a no longer working web page or just not what I'm looking for. I know the 5s is generally larger but at the same time under powered due to that lack of boost. At the same I know the 3s head can go on the 5s block when you drill in the water jackets for the water ports on the 3s head. Anywho,is there a list of stuff rolling around on some unkown webpage or possibly this forum for 5sfe boost does and don'ts ? Thanks in advance

 

seen a few boosted 5sfe but they don`t seems to last too well on 250ish hp.
you should look into mr2 forums regarding 5sfe / 3sgte / combine engine infos.

 

just do it and learn from trial and error. then next time someone asks this question you can be the person to answer it.

just put a turbo on and start tuning... youll learn the limitations and weak points pretty quick.

 

there is a guy here that turbos yotas... i beleive its snafu something...anyway, find him and ask away

 

toysareme is the other big toyota nut

 

MR2oc.com has all the info on slapping a 3sgte head on a 5sfe block.

I'd just throw rods/pistons into the 5sfe and boost the bitch. Run something sexy for engine management, though.

 

3sge has bigger ports and a hotter cam, i've got one sitting outside

 

I had the same question (Ive got a 1991 Celica GT-S DD). Im just going to make some kind of log for it and use an old TE04H, Il let you know how it turns out.

 

just stick a camary v6 in that mr2 and turbo that. It will haul. there is a "how to" guide in an SCC magazine somewhere.

 

Why mess with a 3S or 5SFE or even a V6
