3sfe to 3sge ... kinda, swap heads . Options

[crismillencolin]

Hello you clever Gen6 people .

I need some help/advise... again .
We have a topic going on toyotaownersclub.com about swapping the head from a 3sfe to a 3sge . Has anyone on here done this or heard of it ? My 3sfe is about 130-140bhp but the 3sge is 170-180bhp . Apparantly the main difference is the head and ecu . If i can get them will it work ? will the 3sfe put out the 3sge perfromance ?

TOC - Topic

Does this make sense to you ? - sorry if this topic has been discussed before , i always forget to search .

ANY help will be appreciated

'Thanks Chris

Really ! Hows it going mate ?
SO it is possible then ? or are we gonna find out

I just need someone in the know to give me a definite answer.

I'm not too sure you'll get the same performance from just swapping the head that you would from the entire 3sge block.

There is a guy who swapped a 5efe head from a Toyota Paseo onto his 3ee in his Toyota Tercel and he said it sounded a little nicer and performed a little better, but was not the same as the 5efe. So you should notice a definite improvement, but expecting 3sge performance may be asking a bit much.

But I could be way off.

Apparantly its the same block used for the 3sfe and some 3sge . So it should work but i think i'm gonna have to spend a few £££ to find out
