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? --------------------  |

i would have to say a carefully turboed 5s-fe, or a 3s-ge, because getting parts for a JDM engine like the 3s-gte will prove to be more costly in the long run, i would think. Besides, the 5s could be tweaked to some decent horses with a good turbo set-up and eliminate the need to rip out your whole engine for a swap, although to make it reliable you might need to beef up your internals a little bit. the 3s-ge is a good route too, because although it might be harder to find parts than a 5s-fe, it would produce some very reliable N/A power for you.........so basically its your call to whichever you find easiest
 Personally, would rather tune up my 5s-fe.
