5S-FE power/torque curves

[andyman61]

has anyone seen or know where i can see the power and/or torque curves for a stock 5S-FE? i've always seen 130 hp @ 5400 rpm, and either 140 or 145 (which is right) ft-lbs. @ 4400 rpm. or mabye the baseline test with a stock engine before re-dynoing with performance parts. i'd really like to see a graph though, because acceleration really seems to drop off after 5000 rpm. just currious, wanna know more about my car. thanks.

i'd like to see a graph as well

someone's got to have dyno'ed their stock 5sfe... ( i can't recall anyone who did at the moment, onlyh 3vz and 1mz)

meisner might have, look on his site

[arcasmachineracing]

yea they all drop off at 5000k.

yeah.......that and on the dyno, it comes in under 100whp....it's kinda scary how little power is pushing such a big car sometimes....

[tightcamry129]

man~ we'd be lucky if our 5SFE's were pushing 100 at the wheels.

If it helps any, I found this awhile back
http://www.turboforum.net/dyno/

There are a few n/a 5sfe's on there. Some of them aren't stock motors tho.


Edit: actually, looking again none of them are stock. Not FIed but the've got stuff like headers and whatnot. Oh well.

does anyone know where to find the charts for the v6?

Sorry to chime in so late...

If you care about the 5S-FE stock dyno readings, go to my site and click on "Dyno readings" at the top of the first page. The first image that comes up is the reading I did before doing anything to my car.

It dyno'ed at 100HP / 124ft/lb ...at the wheels. Max power was at 5300RPM.

damn if you dyno'd 100hp stock and the NO. 44 guy on that website had a ton of mods and only dyno'd 1-7 whp, i'd be maaaad

[Eye8Pussies]

talk to SBC.....he had everything on his car except for boost (including tranny swap to 5spd) and I think he came in under 115....

5SFE = Weak

thats just an ignorant comment...tell Steve Meisner his car is weak. Tell me my car is weak come this summer. The 5SFE has great potential, just needs some good tuning and know-how to go along with it

[Meisner]

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tightcamry129]

so if we upgraded our stock internals of 5sfe with better pistons, rings, valves, camshafts, would we be able to up the boost level to past 10 psi safely? how much horsepower will we be able to gain here?
