3s head on 5s Options

[Boss-Celica]

I got some extra cash laying around just waiting to be spent on my car. So I was thinking on puttting a 3S head on my 5S. Has anyone done this before?

[jgreening]

Its been done. Try a search under 5sgte.

there's a sticky at MR2oc for this i believe.

i was actually starting to do it and did not have a chance to finish due to me trying to buy property by my house.
i got a fresh rebuilt 3s head ready to bolt on if you want it
i will do 350 shipped for ya! i even got the intake manifold, tvis, throttle body too!
400 shipped and you can have it all!!! you will only need a few more things to get the project done.
i got more than 350 in just parts and machine work done to the head
pm me....i can get a little more detailed.

people have done it on camrys... and apparently late year 5sfe's have smaller water jackets than old 5sfe/3sgte.. not sure if 96 is a newer or older version tho...

here it is in a nut shell.
get a 3sgte head gasket if all the holes on the 3s gasket match you are fine, if not you will have-to get some water jacket made.
5s-fe block, crank,and 5s forged pistons, all the other parts come from the 3s-gte= rods, belts ect. the most important thing is to cut the 5s crank to fit the 3s rods ($300) or buy 5s forged rods ($700)after that put the motor back together like a normal 3s-gte

any 1 plan to try it ???

[DG_Performance]

I almost did it but had to stop due to other issues.
you pretty much have it down to what needs to be done,,,, and it is not too hard to do it either.

I know its pretty simple if I do it build another motor 5s bottom end $75-$100 junk yard...
3sgte head $100-$300
it can be done for less than $2K

i came across this guy selling a 3s head on a 5s block machined and everything he said it has new head studs and HKS cam gears and it's ready to go. his price was $950 i thought it was a good deal.

[Punch]

If you get it for that, make sure thats all good...

[Boss-Celica]

With a 3s head on a 5s and HKS cams you could easily get 200hp. I rather do this than a 5sfte. More realiable and powerful. NA > Turbo

[hisashi94gtst204]

hasn't the 5sgte already been built by people with mr2's?

[RUNNIN-LOW]

yeah ive been planning on doing the project so yeah i haven't got the money but yeah im thinking crazy about doing it...i might when i get my school loan..been hearing mr2 guys going over 600hp if the head swap.....i want that..would you guys...
