I got some extra cash laying around just waiting to be spent on my car. So I was thinking on puttting a 3S head on my 5S. Has anyone done this before?

Understand that a 5SGTE swap would be no different than a 3SGTE swap. You will have to use the 3SGTE wiring, ecu, and electronics. Also, I will add... the MR2 guys who made 600 some odd horsepower do not do it solely because they have a 5SGTE. Understand that the head only changes the horsepower characteristic... but the power maker is the turbo. If you build up the 5S bottom-end... even the FE head can make that power with boost. Take for example Paradise Racing's drag AE86. 8 second 1/4 mile car with a stock FE head and built bottom-end. A typical 5SGTE build will probably yeild less power but more torque than a regular 3SGTE mostly because of the displacement... the only major difference the head will provide would be the power delivery. The 3SGTE will always have a better top-end because of the 5S block's geometry.

Also know... that sort of power doesn't make a car very streetable or reliable.

Can you explain these two sentences in greater detail please? What are the geometric differences you speak of and why do those differences result in less horsepower for a higher displacement engine?

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
