He has a 3SGE, you have a 5SFE. He puts out a bit more power than you.


But realistically, a 2.0 subaru (90's sti, pre 06 wrx, etc.) Is rated at 227-250hp depending on the turbo, which means they're putting down around 180whp in stock form. Joe's 3sge (koreanjoey on Celicatech) dyno'ed at 160ish whp. Based on that, if you stripped your car out you might tip the scales in your favor based on a power/weight ratio. I know my friend's mildly modded B13 SE-R (intake, header, exhaust) was able to keep up with my WRX when it was stock, so kavy, you might be able to keep up if you went from a roll, due to the AWD in the subaru, but from a stop any wrx or sti, stock or modded would piss all over a 3SGE Celica.



OP- define "cheap" mods. You can get a set of web cam regrinds. There is a place here in Washington called "Delta Camshaft" that does the same, or you can put nitrous on, but I don't recommend it. For a 5S your best bet for power is to turbo it, or swap in a 3SGTE. Both aren't cheap.

ya i hear wat ur saying. i want to get webcams 294' grind but they r around 600 for a set and i kinda dont have that money AND this car is my daily and i dont want to rip the engine apart and not b able to finish the project in one day u kno. what i would like to do is find another 5s, maybe out of a camry and build it on the side into a 5sfte.. or just get the 3s idk which would b better in the long run. or cheaper for that matter lol
