3sfe vs 5sfe?

[Infinite]

Ok people a quick question 5sfe or 3sfe? what would u prefer?

[RomanV]

I would prefer to throw them both in the ocean.


5SFE out of the two, but a 3sg(t)e is a much better choice.

5sfe gets my vote - loads (in a relative sense) of torque down low, good for pushing our camry wagon around town and on longer drives... runs out of breath above about 5300rpm.
If this is a choice for your curren - sort out a 3sge. Same effort to put it in, but much more rewarding!

ok so hows about this


a 5S-FE block with a 3S-GE head? then turbo'd? (gte head wont fit the block? aparently a ge will)

Possible? or not? would this require alot of work or?

[vvega]

lol there basically the same head
so i dunno why one would and the other wouldnt

Another internet rumour and AFAIK totally incorrect.

Of course the GTE head will fit, go and have a look on mr2oc.com they've got a thread the details all you need to do to fit a G(T)E head on a 5S-FE block

and that is why the internet is such a bad place to be trin to lern new info

its not so bad if you have soeme backround and can tell the bulshit form the lies

thats why i come here and ask u experts on these forums

problem with the 5s-fe block with a 3sgte head is that some have reportedly the 5s rods/bolts can't handle the revs of a 3sgte (5s redline = 6,000rpm, 3sgte redline = 7,200). Also the valve cut outs in the 5s-fe pistons might not match the 3sgte valves and you may end up with an interference engine.

Basically unless you're planning on a big power engine build, including a fully built bottom end, worked head, big turbo, cams, ecu etc, then there probably isn't much point in going to the 5s-fe block.

[vvega]

the only rod ive ever seen out of a 5s was quite large
i dont tend to belive people unless they have done it themselves
thats the first rule of information off the internet

[Malcolm]

well then I don't believe you

to be honest I don't see why the rod bolts would be any lower quality than the 3sgte either, but I would certainly think you'd want to get some different pistons, or just grind the 5s ones down with an angle grinder to suit the valves

[vvega]

lol no i have attually seen a rod not just been told about it or herd something

and there is nothign wrong with a interfeance engine you just have to remeber to do ya cam belt

i have a flycutter attachment for my die grinder for modding relifs anyways
geeezzz dont you have any cool tools

[Infinite]

how about i grind your guys piston's with a 5inch angel grinder?

I'm doing a 5sfe expecting between 400 - 600 hp, supercharged + NOS fully worked.
