i know most people say 3S-GTE because it was made for power...
but just think w/ me for a sec Cost to swap 3S-GTE into a GT: ~$3000(yes i said $3000) Mods for 5S-FE: Camshaft Regrings $500, Guaranteed 30hp(WebCams) Custom Turbo Kit $1200 Spearco Intercooler $1000 that right there should put you right at, if not over the 3S-GTE's horsepower. then an ECU programming would be in line, along with possible lowering of compression and all... just food for thought. any suggestions why the 5S-FE is a bad idea? --------------------  |

yeah, you can get a 5s up there, but it's $$. you can easily get it up to the STOCK 3sgte HP, but the 3sgte still has more potential. it can handle 400 HP on the stock internals. the 5s definitely can't do that. -------------------- 1994 Lexus ES300
