I had an 86 GTS with the 3SGE engine and my son has a 96 Vert with the 5SFE. I want to say that the older one had 135 HP as does the newer one. Can anyone give me an informed description about whether the technology of the late engine is better? If you were going to replace the motor which one would you choose? rolleyes.gif rolleyes.gif

both of you guys are dead wrong.

The 5S-FE is a much better engine that the 3S-FE. it is newer technology, has a longer stroke making more torque and it is very boost friendly.

the 3S-FE may have high compression but i doubt it higher than a 2ZZ and we boost those all day long. its all in the tuning.
