The 99 3SFE in UK has 2 coil packs each feeding 2 cylinders, so 1 gets a spark on compression and 3 gets it on exhaust. Same with 2 and 4.
Is the 5SFE the same as this or does it come with a distributor? Reason I'm asking is because I want to drop a 3SGE in my car in place of the 3SFE, but use all the FE electrics and have it all sdjusted usinga fuel & ignition controller as these are the 2 values that will have to be changed. Apexi SAFC II will be used. Will it work? |

I think it will work.
In UK the 3SFE does not have a distributor. It uses a crank pickup and coil packs instead. The distributor hole is blanked. So fitting a GE cylinder head in place of the FE cylinder head will only create the need for the engine to take in more air which will need more fuel - just the same as forcefeeding the FE engine. Correcting the ignition timing will just make it more efficient. |

you just have to convert it to coil pack instead of distributor coil.
