[Smaay]

they take about 6 hours to make, i think i can sell them for about 500 bucks. it will have a lifetime warranty to never crack

I am look at turboing my 5s. I see that you live in S. Cal. I live in San Jose. I have done research and I know that all the parts have to be CARB legal in order to pass smog but have you heard of anyone having a CARB legal 5sfte? Thanks in advance!

[Smaay]

there is no such creature as a CARB turbo kit for the 5S-FE.

When i designed the kit I tried to make it easy to remove and go back to stock for SMOG, then just put it back on.

I see, thank you for the quick response.

On another note I see that you have a 3mzfe swap with an E153 Transmission. What year is the 3m? Also would a s54 be able to handle the power of the 3m and does the s54 directly bolt onto the 3m with no mod?

its a 2005 Sienna engine. yes the S54 will bolt up to the 3MZ, you will need a hybrid clutch that Southbend does keep in stock. just call them up and talk to John or Andy and tell them what you need. they will provide it. Yes the S54 will handle the power of the 3MZ, Pressure was making 300HP on a stock S54

no oil relocation

First of all, this thread is super helpful! I'm currently swapping another 5S in and am using this as a guide.

I just have one question. When I'm taking the slave cylinder out, for the first 10mm bolt on the hardline that you need to remove, I assume it's this one you're talking about? If so how did you remove it? I tried using a 10mm wrench on it but it didn't want to come off and I was just rounding it.

You can actually remove that horseshoe clip and leave the slave cylinder still attached to the clutch line, still in the car. No need to bleed it later! Crappy picture but here's my slave cylinder, still on the end of the clutch lime, sitting on my strut tower.





And another time with the engine pulled, this time the slave cylinder is sitting on the windshield wiper cowl.

not that one. its the bolt holding that bracket to the trans. its already gone in that pic. dont open the hydro system.

Ah alright so it's a 14mm then. I read 10mm and was trying to figure out just what you were talking about lol. I was still having trouble getting a socket on that bolt though since the hardline was in the way.

Is it necessary to drain the tranny oil? will it spill out the axle housing if you don't drain it? I just put new fluid in when i did the clutch. that stuff is pricey!!

[richee3]

Yeah, it'll drain out of the axle holes.

How do you get the shifter cables off? Never mind I got it.
