from what I've seen the fastest N/A 5sfe on this site is probably not much faster than the stock 5sfe
 theres not much to do to that engine other than a turbo |

There's plenty to do... it's just more expensive to build a good n/a motor. Simply turbocharging an engine is... well... I'd call it the easy way to make more power. On this site... I don't know of anyone who has built or is in the process of building a performance n/a 5SFE. However... John L on Celica.net is building one (although fairly amatuer'ishly') and it seems to be fairly good. They respond well to head mods (from what I've heard) and they have a fair amount of aftermarket support (performance pistons, rods, cams, etc...) There's obvious potential to build a good n/a motor... but there are limits depending on what you want. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

The highest dynoed 5sfe motor I have seen is Jim snoodgrass's old motor. He had fully P&P'd head, 1mm oversized valves, 5 angle valve job, regrinded exhaust cam, shimless buckets and a accel DFI engine managment........146 hp I think he dynoed at.

146bhp? omg you are getting the short end of the stick. The rest of the world getting the 2.0l 3S-GE with the 170ish at stock. A real pity. I really cant see why someone has not thought of getting a few JDM clips for this kind of swaps. Surely they cant be worth more than $1000.

It's most likely 146 WHP (dyno's usually only read out whp)... which is about par with a 3rd gen 3SGE. Anyways... I think they can make way way more power than that... it's probably something with his set-up (fuel, timing, cams, etc)... but I can't say unless I see more specific specs... plus, if it's the exact mods 1bwilson listed, then he's running stock specs on the intake side... which is the big power maker. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
