Whats up im new here. Just got a 1997 GT 2.2L. Im trying to figure out what motor I have. Im pretty sure its the 5SFE. Im thinking about putting some boost on it. How much POWER can the stock motors hold? 250HP 300HP? I have built a few custom turbo kits so this would be no problem for me, I just dont want to break it. I got this car for a killer deal, but the clutch it smoked. I was looking at the Exedy Clutch kit on Ebay....are the good?

well since the 5sfe is an eco motor, it can only go with boost for so long. pressure has been running his setup for quite a while and has seen some promising numbers (200 some HP) comapared to the stock 130. read the writeups on the 5sfte and best of luck. also congrats on the new car. also if you're looking for a crazy upgrade in power, you're best bet would be to swap in a 3s-gte either from an all trak, gt-4 or a MR2. stock they produce about 230 and since you have a GT it would be a much easier swap compared to an ST

Thanks for the Quick replys. What about the clutch? Im not wanting to do and engine swap. Just a little extra power from the stock stuff. Has anyone broke a rod or a piston? Who has made the most power out of the stock 5SFE?

turboed or just built up NA. turboed pressure i think has has the best results but itchys numbers were good as well(i think).

pressure's can be seen in his sig-

Cool,
You know what kind of boost he is running?

Welcome
There are alot of info here regarding the 5sfte.
I recommend you read up, before asking more
questions. It will just annoy some people here
But like Fate said. I think Manny has some impressive
figures. Itchy is another member and Shin as well.
Enjoy your stay and have fun with your new car.

to be honest i'm not sure what psi he's running but you can read what his setup includes in his profile- http://www.6gc.net/index.php?action=members&itu=190

another thing-make sure you read up on everything in that link suprersprnt posted up, it has everything for the 5sfte.

welcome to the site. you're not gonna reach 300 or even 250 without a swap (not that i know of). but 5s-fte's are pretty fast. btw... post some pics.

Hi and Welcome

the exedy clutch kit is a good deal for that price on ebay!
exedy has proven itself to me ...so i say get it.
