so 3grand with internals and install? could i get away with 2grand for turbo and install with my low milage 56k mile engine? and also can the convertable handle the turbo? someone was talkin about the different chasis codes? whats that gotta do with it?

wow!! nice job! much more than i expected!

with beefed up internals you can definatly put down much more

actually it should be about the same until some heavy modifications.
although he is pushing 190ish at the wheels now, the higher compression is helping, so once he goes down to 8.5, he'll have to boost higher just to get 190 again

maybe though, maybe he'll be able to boost past that mark >>

run the quarter mile..

all this horsepower numbers doesnt make any sense to me.. i need a quarter mile time to use as a reference.

Lemme guess stock 5s management with bigger injectors. Your A/F looks terrible. Standalone or chip should be your next mod. You could easily see 200+ at the wheels on the same amoutn of boost.

It dosnt look like he built it up at all.. he just slaped on a turbo an the components along with it. But also the 3s is getting that power only at what 8pse compared to 13.. when you boost up the 3s its going to be more, also keep in mind the 3s has better internals so its a hella lot safer to run boosted.. where his might crap out 10 k down the road.

here is the thing...the 5sfe is a higher compression 2.2l motor. in theory it should be faster at the same boost levels then the 3sgte swap.

but the bad thing about the 5sfTe is that on one reallly knows how long the motor will last. so you make this big investment that will proably fail sooner or later. on a 3sgte with the stock ct26 turbo, the mr2 guys have been running 15psi, all day, everyday...for years. theere are 3sgtes with close to 200,000mile on them, still boosting.

then there are turbo upgrades and fuel upgrades that will gain you even more power. the mr2 guy think the hp limit of the 3sgte is around 700hp! there is on 6th gen ive seen that puts down 400hp. so, as you can see the 3sgte is a better option.

for itchyb, i recomend turning down the boost to a nice 7-8 psi. thats about the most stress you would want to put on a stock motor.

my 5sfte isnt built at all. ur right. once it is spending the difference between the cost of swapping a turboing on interrnals ill have sumthing alittle stronger than a 3sgte. stroked... and its holding up fine. i chekc everyhting day in a day out. pull the plugs look down to the cylinders check for marks.

Nice numbers indeed.

The 13psi on a stock setup does make me cringe...

NEVERSTOP, what happened to your swap, why dont you have it anymore?

i could never see anyone on here with a 3sgte, install it, take it out and decide a 5sfTe was a better way to go.

any motor can be great if you throw enough money at it.

everyone has their setups and what route they decided to go with their cars. the way i see it is that you can spend all this money into your 5sfe and make it amazing, but the whole process will be this huge experiment of will it live or will it die, as long as the owner accepts that and isint afraid of pulling out a 5s and putting in a new one, then its all good.

with the 3sgte, you are getting a motor that was built for boost. everythihng from the pistons to the ecu is factory made to take boost day in and day out. seeing as how you can buy a clip for 1,500-2,500, thats a good deal right there.
