Hey guys, I have a 5sfe in my celica. it's a 94 gt and I was looking for a little more, how should I say oomph out of the engine.It's decent but not good enough yet. My other car is a 350 horsepower camaro so understand my need for speed.
I've been told I can either do a head swap although with a pre 97 model that wont work? thats what I heard. I'm not interested in a v6 swap. The only other thing I can think of is a 3sge or 3sgte swap? I have a 5 speed tranny and I can get the stuff for less than a grand (have a buddy who runs a shop). So its a matter of choosing and deciding the easiest option. But that 3sgte with the twin entry turbo sure sounds nice.... Also in the 5sfe can I port and polish the heads for less restriction? I've been told thats where the main problem is with the engine. |

A headswap with no modifications can be done to a Camry 5SFE engine block from 97-2001 Camrys. ATS racing makes a headgasket specifically for that purpose.
