[millow]

I know this is an old question no offense to anyone, is upgrading 3sge 3rd gen worth it, i mean how many hp would you get for it, cams piggibacks for how many hp? the costs to upgrade will just amount to a 3sgte, or just leave it stock, my engine is out and im just thinking if its worth to up grade it

hi. Which generation is your 3sge? I had a 3sge on my 1997 rav4, i had 177hp on it, great engine!!! But so sad i was a bit too young and not mature enough to modify it correctly to achieve higher performance. But in my opinion, ts an engine which can go up to 220hp if you do it right. Eventually it can go up to 280hp if you install a nitrous oxide kit with it:) But its very solid and if u get the beams 3sge, u can go even further.

In my opinion, the modifications you can do to achieve good powers are:
1- lighten it ...(ultra LIGHT FLYWHEEL, LIGHWEIGHT PULLEYS ETC...)
2-GET A GOOD CLUTCH KIT
3-forged pistons and rods (CP pistons and Carillo Rods is a good combo coz they are light in weight).
4-high performance fuel pump
5-bigger injectors
6-Cold air intake
7-Stand alone ECU
8-upgraded cams
9-high flow fuel filter
10-better spark plugs and wires
11-new fpr
12-New manifold + downpipe
13-2" exhaust (decat)
14-Nitrous KIt (Zex in my opinion would b a good choice)
