one question....how do you think that you can run with or out run a celica with a 3s-gte.

most people either get the 2nd or 3rd gen 3sgte. so at least power it will be 225 stock at the crank. you said your car was like 200 at the crank. ya i know that the 3s-gte is a heavier engine but the boost that it can handle it outrageous. so up the boost on the 2nd gen 3s-gte to around 12-14psi and you will be close to 300hp compared to your 200 or so. sorry man no offense but it'll take a lot of money for your economy 5s-fe to hand with the sports engine 3s-gte.

thats not even counting your weaker 5s-fe tranny which is also geared for economy not for performance.

a good mod for you in the future would be to get a 3s-ge tranny. they are just as strong as the AWD tranny but just FWD...they are around 200-400 U.S. Dollars. try www.jarcoinc.com


dont think that i am disagreeing about the rareness of a turboed 5s-fe. i have one myself. and ya there are a lot of ricers that think their civic hatchback is the fastest ever but they never win. just that when it comes to cobra mustangs and cars like that...well the 5s-fe has no chance.
