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?

People are getting confused here ... I'm seeing 3S-FE and 3S-GE. We need to first get straight which engine we're talking about. If what jackkasper is saying is correct, his 86 GT-S had a 3S-GE, which coincides correctly, at least what I have read came in the 4th gen North America GT-S.
The technology in the newer 5SFE is just that, newer technology. Not by much but newer none the less. Doesn't make it better. I think, as a matter of opinion, we could go back and forth all day long as to whether that generation of the 3SGE or the 6gc version of the 5SFE are better. Would the 5S be better suited for boost do to it's engineering? I believe so. But stock for stock, I wouldn't know which one to pic. Now if we went with a newer generation 3SGE, like the ones in the 6gc or the final gen, the BEAMS ... I would go with the 3SGE IMHO -------------------- 99 Celica GT-S

I was thinking he had a gen 2 3sge. Not sure what the c/r etc are on the 1st gens.
