I know this is probably a noob question but is it feasible do an AWD conversion for the 5sfe engine? if it is, what would I need?

You can do a awd swap on a 5sfe but it won't be cheap an the 5s is too under powered to move it around after your done

I had an AWD 5sfe for a while. It was kinda slow. I have a 3sge now, it's still slow.

Haha I think most things would be considered slow in comparison to that beast of an rx7 czwalga!

When said about modification I didn't mean the ones made by man. What I said was that it might have modified after being affected by a certain force. |

Thanks for the input guys. aside from the awd tranny, any advice on beefin up the 5sfe? is there a peak hp you can get out of it? I've never done a swap before, this is kinda my first real project. Not sure which route I wanna take, just want it faster than what it is

I've never done a swap before, this is kinda my first real project. Not sure which route I wanna take, just want it faster than what it is The general consensus is if you want extra power go for an engine swap; 3SGTE / V6 (like 1MZ-FE) / BEAMS 3SGE red top. The latter being awesome but quite expensive for the power you will make. The most tunable for more power will probably be the 3rd gen 3sgte with the V6 being the 'in thing' at the moment for guys in the states looking for a cheaper swap. Obviously there are exceptions for all of that depending on your skills and the amount of money you have though. If you want to stick with the 5S for a while focus on handling rather than power. You can do intake and exhaust and stuff too if you want, but they are really just for sound, not performance. --------------------  SOLD :( 1997 ST204 Celica ZR -----> See it here on 6GC! 2013 October Celica of the Month XD Now: '00 NB8B Mazda MX5 -----> See it here in off topic! |

But really its the gearing of the GT4 transmission that ruins it. The gearing is terrible for a high revving engine. -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq

It can be done cheaply, despite what people think, but if you can't do it all yourself its going to be a major headache. -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq

if you are going to spend the money to beef up the 5S-FE...just get a 3S-GTE
