I am new to the 5SFE and I noticed this motor has very low end power. What range of RPM could I be reving to still keep my motor reliable? I am afriad to rev to 6k RPM because this motor has such a long stroke.

It's never bad to rev your engine unless you go deep into redline and leave it there. The 5s and the 3s are both performance engines. They're built to rev high and ride hard. The worst thing for an engine is to change it up regularly. Cars with multiple drivers don't have nearly the lifespan of a 1 driver car. If you're gonna redline it every time you shift, redline it every time. If you're gonna shift at 4 every time, keep doing it. But using a car's power to its full potential does not hurt it, just let's it live.

Actually.. to open the motors name, 3S-GE means: Third generation of the S-series engine (straight 4 with a cast ron block and an alloy head) G means Performance wide-angle DOHC and the E means injection. Then is the 5S-FE. fifth generation of the S-series, E=injection but then. The F. F means narrow angle DOHC to make it more economical. Sry mates. -------------------- |
