5SGTE INFO Options

[Valo666]

So, i wanna turbo my motor, but dont wanna risk blowing another head. Ive poped two heads so far and the head on my new motor is ticking already. So im thinking that what i might do over the next little while is build up a hybrid 5sfe and 3sgte motor. I know ive already seen some info on a motor like this. I was thinking 5s block, 3s head, and oil pan, 5s intake manifold with throttel body, 2 bar map, tubular equal length turbo manifold, ct20 or a t3/t4 turbo. Just run ARP bolt on the head, and stock enternals in the block. Would this work?/what majour problems would i have making this motor? finding, buying, building the motor not a problem.

There is a great thread on the MR2 boards... www.mr2oc.com about the 5s-gte.

Like Pressure2 said - think of it as a 3s-gte swap plust a whole bunch of extra work. You won't be able to use stock 5s internals - they valve reliefs are wrong and the compression ratio would be off. 3s oil and water lines for the turbo don't bolt up to the 5s block. To take advantage of the displacement, you'll want to re-work the head... and just about everything else on the motor. It is in no way a simple project.
