So a while back, this was sorta brought up but i want more specifics on exactly how to do it....I think its a good performance option for the 5s-fe if its true. I remember 1bwilson said that you could take the intake manifold off a JDM 3s-fe and a 60mm throttle body and you could get gains of around 40 horsepower. I've searched everywhere online for more info on it, and havent seen much of anything. I would just like to verify that claim, and if its true.....
a.) Exactly what parts do you need to get it to work? Would the manifold be from the Curren's 3s-fe?? b.) Would about a 40hp gain be reasonable to expect? Just a little more knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

Heh...there's nothing to disagree with... I wasn't saying the 7A hybrid is a bad motor, but mostly impractical for the costs of building it. There is far more work than just a simple head swap. The mechanical part might not be too tough with custom fabrication, but the electrical work is gonna be completely custom. That's not easy, nor cheap. |
