Whats up im new here. Just got a 1997 GT 2.2L. Im trying to figure out what motor I have. Im pretty sure its the 5SFE. Im thinking about putting some boost on it. How much POWER can the stock motors hold? 250HP 300HP? I have built a few custom turbo kits so this would be no problem for me, I just dont want to break it. I got this car for a killer deal, but the clutch it smoked. I was looking at the Exedy Clutch kit on Ebay....are the good?

well since the 5sfe is an eco motor, it can only go with boost for so long. pressure has been running his setup for quite a while and has seen some promising numbers (200 some HP) comapared to the stock 130. read the writeups on the 5sfte and best of luck. also congrats on the new car. also if you're looking for a crazy upgrade in power, you're best bet would be to swap in a 3s-gte either from an all trak, gt-4 or a MR2. stock they produce about 230 and since you have a GT it would be a much easier swap compared to an ST

Thanks for the Quick replys. What about the clutch? Im not wanting to do and engine swap. Just a little extra power from the stock stuff. Has anyone broke a rod or a piston? Who has made the most power out of the stock 5SFE?

Welcome
 There are alot of info here regarding the 5sfte. I recommend you read up, before asking more questions. It will just annoy some people here  But like Fate said. I think Manny has some impressive figures. Itchy is another member and Shin as well. Enjoy your stay and have fun with your new car. --------------------  98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |

welcome to the site. you're not gonna reach 300 or even 250 without a swap (not that i know of). but 5s-fte's are pretty fast. btw... post some pics.
