Dude, back home (Puero Rico), there's more people running fast on non-turbo deuces than turbo ones. They either boost the hell out of them until the engine gives up (15 PSI and they last a while), or they stuff it with forged internals. I'm not kidding here, I've seen more 400+ WHP non-turbo deuces than turbo ones. Down there, the 5S-FE is the prefered platform for going fast. Weird, huh? >>

I Completed a buildup of a 5sfe Motor tuned for No2, this April Forged Oversized lowcompression pistons, forged rods, ballenced crank, reman head, and early series head gskt. So far has been Very reliable, daily driven car. two things became apparent
one, because of the angle of the engine in the mounts the front side of the block tends to wear faster ovaling the bore[due to less oil from the pump ]. hence the oversize pistons. two, with the narrow with of the head the twin cams are a real pain to work with[as well as limiting airflow](don't flame me over this its just an observation). I've been working on a prototype Motor useing the 5sfe block and reworking a 89' 3sge head
has anyone tried this? In theory the Higher flowing head If tuned properly will produce more horse power over all {especially if turboed} Combined with the higher torque of the 2.2l block. I heard of versions of this mainly using the 3sgte and stroking it or combining th two. btw the Source for 5sfe parts is Raceeng.com

Get a 3sgte and bore it. There you got a engine thats ment for turbo with the displacement of a 5sfe.

the idea is to do sumthing new and creative though.

Good job, hope it keeps going strong for ya >> I wanted to do this too but decided i need to buy a 2nd car if I was going to turbo the celi

Adding a 5s block to the 3s head is a better idea for stroking. The 5s block is stronger.. and the crank is more beefy.

I don't think tha block is any stronger... But the advantages are you can continue to use the crank sensor for the later obd2 ecu with no modification. bore and build the 5sfe block and get the better flowing head. If you use the correct pistons[available online] Turboing is not a problem.

thats a good idea

hahaha i found this thread on google. sooooo old. celicarocker, wherever you are. i love you.
well i didn't exactly max anything out but still. wow.

this thread is some funny stuff man...
looking back this was one of the threads that made me start my 5sfte project.
all the haters...lmao.
john, its funny to look back on this stuff now, knowing what you know...compared to what you knew then, isnt it??

i was a noob....
