How to Make 5s-gte

[CamNub]

Ok, I tryed searching but i really didn't want to search thru all 82 results which just mention 5s-gte..
My question is how do you make a 5s-gte

From my quick google search, I found out...

5s-fe + 3s-gte = 5s-gte

My question is how do you combine them..

Do you use a 3sgte header and a 5sfe block? Wraith can you explain, Or someone give link...

5S block + cylinder head from 3S-GTE = 5S-GTE.

5S-GTE thread repost...

^ Is that one of the earlier threads before December? Cause if it isn't I cant believe i missed it...

So according to the first post...Making a 3sgte is not easliy doable for me (gen 4) So if i wanted to make a 3sgte i would have to buy a gen 3 header?
Now thinking about this gen 3 stuff... Would A 3sgte swap is a lot harder for gen4's?

well, from what i'm getting from everybody, they're telling me to do the 3sgte swap rather then the 1mzfe swap. Luistol, said that i should do what Wraith is doing and swap the heads from a 3sgte onto my 5sfe block. it still rolling around somewhere in my head. i haven't decided what to do yet

Yup its from 2002, but it should of came up in the search.

I put 5S-GTE under keyword and Wraith under username.

You need a earlier 5S block (92 - 93 Camry).

And you mean 5S-GTE right?

I don't think so. If you can do the swap on a gen 3, you can also do the same on a gen 4.

Same amount of work involved.

ooh, I didn't think of putting a name under the user name...

Of course if you have the cash, any swap is possible. But most of the 3s-gte's are gen 3's but i dun think there is a gen 4 3sgte swapper. War, I think you should be the guiney pig and go where no other camry guy on Tn has gone before and do the 3s-gte swap. Its worth the power and stuff, And you can report back to All of us other gen 4 guys.

I dont give a shit what kind of motor I can swap into my car, I just wanna swap some horses in that mo fugger!!!!!! I would settle for a Ripp SDS or Burien set up just cause it would be easier.

[war0827]

if i can find a good 3sgte motor with low miles and a low mile tranny, i might just do it. I'm gonna try to push my car to the limits regardless what motor i have

[Terriyaki]

mmm which is better? 5S-GTE or 3sgte or 1mzfe? this is probably a no brainer, but I'm that smart and i have a 5sfe heh

Here is a link about 3s-gte vs 1mz-fe Engine swap for gen 4
Look to the bottom and see what zoni wrote. He had some very good info down there.

Yup, I would go with the 1MZ. V6 = More displacement, more power.
