5s-fe 3s-ge head? Options

[myloth]

The 5s-fe and the 3s-ge,3s-gte are the same motor with different heads no?

Then why is everybody so juiced to swap in the 3s-gte?When couldnt use a 3s-ge head from late 90s on a 5s-fe and get about 200bhp without a turbo?

Or am i missing something?

I'm basing this on a 2.0l 3s-ge from late 90s having about 175hp and putting that head onto the stroker 2.2l block seems to make sense?

People talk like the 5s-fe is a different engine when its just a different head and longer throw crank?


Or could even a 3sgte head work without the turbo?

JDM cars built for the JDM market will always be better than any USDM cars. Even the cars built here in the states for the JDM are built better than the one for our market. They always have the better options and slighty stronger engines. This applies to all Makes too from Japan. Funny thing to cause all of our domestic car makes here that are sold in other regions are as good as ours. Kinda unfair when you think about it. Besides most people in Japan don't really care for the USDM cars either. So they can give us the slower cars and really not care to much about it. Plus to the US has tons of safety laws & emissions too. Which doesn't help the problem. Then again if we have the slower and less powerfull versions than the JDM ones. Why is it that their speedo only goes to 110 mph and ours are 140mph+.
