i know most people say 3S-GTE because it was made for power...
but just think w/ me for a sec

Cost to swap 3S-GTE into a GT: ~$3000(yes i said $3000)
Mods for 5S-FE:
Camshaft Regrings $500, Guaranteed 30hp(WebCams)
Custom Turbo Kit $1200
Spearco Intercooler $1000
that right there should put you right at, if not over the 3S-GTE's horsepower.
then an ECU programming would be in line, along with possible lowering of compression and all...


just food for thought.
any suggestions why the 5S-FE is a bad idea?

sigh

you can not raise boost pressure by just getting a thicker head gasket.

You talk about compression. Compression in the 5s-fe, I believe, is around 10.5 or so. So that would make it even more unstable when running boost. With the 3sgte you can get the one from an st185 and all those parts are readily available in the u.s. That engine has just as much potential as the one from the st205.

And buying internal parts are a hell of a hot easier to get a hold of than parts for the 5s-fe. With that engine you would more than likely have to get some custom work done. Which is expensive.

So if anybody does turbo their 5s-fe trying to reach 300hp or w/e PM me because I have another 5s-fe for sale.

...because I bet you have a 5sfe turbo. Am I right! AM I RIGHT! Huh HUH! biggrin.gif
