Supershannon77's 3sgte build - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #69018 201 posts Started by supershannon77
Cali, I meant that 300whp seems to be the questionable mark. Running a 5sfte on a stock bottom end at around 300whp just seems like your flirting with danger. CAN you make more then that, of course....BUT I personally dont think it will last, because I personally feel that 300whp is the "breaking" point of a 5sfte.

I say this due to recent events with Shannons and Manny's cars. Now, there is obviously no real "hp number" where a motor will break, so some may break at 280whp, and others may break at around 350whp...I just used 300whp as what I feel to be an average/expected/max limit of the stock 5s bottom end, from personal experience, and others misfortunes. How far you want to tune to, or PAST 300whp is entirely up to you, and as more and more people decide to do so, we will further confirm the limits of the stock 5s bottom end.

330whp 309ft/lbs @ 21 PSI
I thought Mstoochn was just joking. I guess there is something I'm missing here.

5sfe has more than proven itself over the years. If I had a gt right now, I would totally turbo it.

BTW, not sure what fits better on the Celica, but on the MR2's we're angling the screamer pipe like this. Let me know what works best for your setup. Beauty of our V-band design is that you can angle it in many different positions to clear obstacles that may be in the way depending on what other things are installed on your car:

Past -7A-FTE: Will never forget youPresent -3rd Gen3S-GTE: Swap in progressQUOTE (SinisterSinner @ Dec 19, 2009 - 10:52 AM)I dont want to even think of turbos, they blow up way too often...
ooooh this is looking good.
I think its time I updated this...Ill try and get it updated today.

The turbo has been on and we should go to the dyno soon to get you all some results.

I've changed my front end so its now got the st205 front end but ill be doing some work to the hiro lip to have that on the front end. The reason I changed front ends is simply because the hood wouldnt close that great with the vis hood and the top mount from the 3sgte.

From talking to Manny I think we both agree swapping to a 3rd gen 3sgte is so nice and so smooth.

Have you seen those videos on youtube of pat chinsue is it with his gt4 gen 5 with a 5sfe block in it running 843whp. Pretty incredible obviously plenty of mods going on but the strength of the 5sfe block is immense. Not sure what the max you could get out of a 3sgte reliably as cracking does occur, rarely but enough to make you think about things.

Hey its Shannon...We never made it to the dyno b/c the guy has canceled on us like twice now but within the next week or two we should be able to get there...

Also i have been clay barring my car since I've been off from work and man that really make some difference...I'm not getting to crazy b/c i have plans of another new pain job in the future.

First still no dyno results...secnd Im back I wanna try and be more active on the forums agin!

Ok i dont have much help woth my car for personally reasons I rather not discuss..

Ok so my batter keeps draining its a red top relocated to the trunk... Now my alarms messed up so ir constantly goes off but once i close the doors it stops.

I looked up on optimas sit to learn how to recharge the batterys and ive done it but a it just drains within a few days so now ive been disconnecting the red positive termanal...now when i did itwire and termanial were burning hot...any ideas anyone???? btw when i leave the battery unhooked it doesnt get drained at all!

facebookWRC st205
shannon if your red terminal was hot to the touch wehn you disconnected, there is a short somewhere on the battery relocation wires, if it was anywhere else it would just blow the fuse. as far as the alarm goes, I have no clue as I've never mess with them other than uninstalling mine.

give me a call after 4 30 today and we'll see if we can get together later on the week and I'll take a look at the battery issue.
