Hey all!
I am starting my new engines class on Oct 19 and found out that I have to put an engine together for THE project in that class. I decided that I would like to just build up a 5sfe. I've been thinking about going F/I but I would rather keep it N/A. I was wondering what everyone else thought about this. I have noticed a lot of people turboing theirs but there are not to many people that have just built up the internals for more h/p. What is everyone's thoughts on this and also what setup would you recommend (parts, compression ratios, brands, item #'s etc.) I've been searching and researching everything needed for this and have come up with some ideas but would like to get some input on this. Thank you all for the help. |

No... I'm not big on turbos... I call that the "easy way out." Like Junior mentioned... a GE head swap can be done... but the increased displacement and oversquared design will hurt the horsepower output yet again. HP will be gain and increased, but flow velocity will most likely decrease and shift the torque band up a bit higher (better overall if you ask me... bhut all depends on what you're looking for). It'll have better potential... but it'll be a more expensive build cause the GE head utilizes making power with increased revolutions, and the 5S block is not a happy revving block (without some reinforcment). Again... your call... I'm just pointing out the more basic techincal points... If it's your first... I'd suggest you just do a basic rebuild with some minor porting and tuning. N/A building is expensive and doesn't result in a lot of power. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
