REALLY serious about doing a 5sgte, with a GE head. no gte. Options

[x_itchy_b_x]

i have found a head thanks to a memeber, im trying to convince my dad into helping with the project. alright so im brainstorming for the 5sgte. since i can bolt the turbo-manifold directly on theres no problem there. but what about the intake manifold. it has a different bolt pattern if what i heard it right. so id need a GE intake manifold. or aftermarket intake for a 3sge. now the 5sfe uses a maf sensor would the 3sge manifold use the same type? anyone have more information on this. also on the GE head were would i tap it for oil? or does it use the same location and sensor as the 5sfe?

Also. il be running out of fuel with the amount of boost i want to run. the 7mgte injectors 440cc will fit but the ohms are wrong, for a coil pack is it as simply as sondering a resistor on one of the injector harness leads? if so thats the next step.

why not run a 3sgte intake manifold??

as for getting them to line up that's a simple fix... get an intake manifold gasket for the 3sge and one for the 3sgte, be sure to mark them as to which is which.. the 3sgte would be head side.. and the 3sge would be intake side... take them to a local machine shop.. have them make you an adaptor plate so the intake runners will meet up with the intake ports on the head... the only problem you would run into there is if the bolts dont line up... if thats the case then hopefully the 3sge intake mounting bolts are inside the width of the 3sgte mounting bolts. if thats the case then have them tap holes into the addapter plate for the 3sge manifold that only go about half way threw the addapter plate... then you should be able to mount the plate to the intake and then mount the whole thing to the side of the head... it would be tricky to design if its like that but would work fine for you.

I would suggest just getting the 3sgte intake manifold.. there on ebay for like 40 bucks all the time

edit: soo.... would that be a 5sge-t or a 5stge or a 5sftge or what the hell would you call it!!! LOL

edit 2x: HAHAHHAHAHA -> 5's GET
