6G Celicas Forums

A jap-spec 3SGE 6th gen should be quicker than a tiburon hey?

I luv it! Thats exactly what im after! So with that in mind count me in.
Hopefully postage to AUS wont be to harsh..

It also makes a difference how many valves per cylinder an engine has, 4 valve engines alyways have a higher pitched note compared to 2 valve. My 18rg and 2tg celicas sound heaps deeper and gruntier compared to the 5s

tru dat. I did some research into chips recently (not the potato variaty) and powerchip do a chip which adds 14kw at the engine which is a big jump, but its 1000 bucks! I came across the apexi safc controller which sounds like a better option and is only 600 retail, plus time on the dyno. i cant really find any figures on it for a 5S tho...

i always thought is was about 30% loss? i come up with 98.8kw on my reading.
i was also thinkin that with the factory figures they might have tested the engine on the engine dyno without a full exhaust system so in the car the engine would have less power. I could be wrong but i thought that mine should have a little more than standard? who knows.

cheers guys.

That is a big difference! Although i have mine running on 98 RON fuel. If yours was on 91 that would make a bit more sence perhaps. The prelude has a full exhaust and extractors with CAI, but yea the 5S is always going to be the under-dog by far unfortunately. The 3S is probly better but the 5S has more torque and bigger capacity so thats gotta be good for potential ...i guess. hehe.

5S block, 3S head! now that would be the shiznitski

Hi guys n gals,
Im in Australia and have a st204. I had it dynoed before i started doing too many modifications so i could get it dynoed later to see how much i will gain in power later. With a K&N panel filter and cold air induction it made 76 kilowatts at the wheels (or 102hp). Since then ive had a custom exhaust fitted and am about to purchace a APEXi SAFC II, so im hoping for a decent gain. My mate's VTEC Prelude made 107kw (143hp) so ive got some work to do =\ Does anyone else have any 5s-fe dyno results?
