5sfe swap question., 7afe to 5sfe Options

[vi-tuyen]

Hi guys.
I want to swap my engine later on. I love the 3SGTE OR 3SGE BEAMS so much but I don't have time any money to do it. I think the 5sfe is good for me now. I found a complete 5sfe, which include engine, tranny, ecu, and harness. Right now, I have the 7afe. What modification or part do i need to buy in order to swap to the 5sfe?
also, are there any different between the USDM and the JDM 5sfe?

The reason a 7AFE to 5SFE swap is not listed in that thread is because people don't do it. You're spending almost as much as you would for a 3SGTE in labour and fabrication (both use an S block compared to the A-block your car's set up to accommodate) to get very limited power gain.

Going to a higher-end A-series engine will be more efficient than going to a 5SFE.

Or to put it another way, there's a good reason you can find the 5SFE for cheap.
