Since alot of us think this is a horrible thing for the 5s, how about throwing in some crower rods and Ross pistons 8:5:1 and then turning up the boost..huh huh tell me thats not gonna last
 Given the rods are expensive but well worth it could you throw them in with stock internals???

Do they make Crower rods and Ross Pistons for the 5sfe? If they do, lowering the compression is the best thing you can do to reliably run a turbo system. I do know they make this stuff for 3sgte, which can potenitally fit a 5sfe with modification (different cranks, stroke, bore...etc), however, I've never heard of this stuff being made for the 5sfe. If they were made, it'll probably fit directly to the stock crank. You can run higher boost more reliably, but the part in question is the crank. Depending on how much boost you run... the crank may or may not be able to take it. As for a turbo 5sfe... it's actually a lot easier to do than a 7afe turbo. The past 5sfte problems were not because of the engine... instead, it was because of poor tuning by the turbo'ees. I forget exactly who's who or what's what, but it was always related to a fuel thing... either injectors, fuel pump, or what-not. Those things must be properly upgraded in order to run more fuel to compensate for turbo knock... which tends to happen a lot more easily to the 5sfe than the 7afe. It has little to do with compression, because both engines have the same compression ratios (9:5:1)... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

the 5sfe crank can take a lot of abuse, dont worry about that part
new performanc pistons and rods will make any car that much more reliable when turboed -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

Yea Crower makes rods for the 5s: $670 and Ross has 5s pistons(but web-site is being reconstructed) So i will probably hook it up after a while run like 10 pounds intercooled...oh yeaaa

That web site raceeng.com seems to have 2 different piston types made by themselves for the 5s one is 87mm and the other is 87.5mm which one is the winner?
