Max Performance from a 3SFE Engine - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Without opening the 3SFE engine. What can be done to enhance performance? How much horsepower can be extracted?

Somewhere between 200 and 250 crank hp. With lots of water injection... Maybe you get close to 250 without anything popping. Without it, you'd be a god to get past 230 and it live for a good duration.

Can you be more specific. I already have a Pace Setter header and exhaust pipes, [2.25], Intake, TRD Thermostat, Nology Wires, Next Level Performance module [Phase 3].

Next week I'll install Pivot ground Kit, and an MSD kit.

Anything else beside a tubo kit. How about a Apexi Super S-AFC-2?

the SAFC will help, but thats probably about it untill you atleast take the head off.

but even with all that, i doubt you're getting more than 125-130 hp out of that setup, and that includes the SAFC.

and technically, you dont need to open the engine while installing a turbo, but i wouldnt shoot for Toysrme's numbers, id think 180ish crank to be safe, expecially if you have an auto transmision.

Hey guy, you would be alot better off doing a ge swap, you are pouring money into that fe motor and short of a build up and a turbo, your not going to get much farther because of the head design, a bone stock 3sge is stronger by far than your hopped up fe, what trans do you have?

silverstreakin · 07-03-2005, 01:58 AM

ill let you know how mine turns out when im done

im pretty sure ill get what im shooting for. but im crackin the case open.

hes right on the swap thing...if you want turbo...might as well spring for a 3sgte swap...its pretty well easier than a ge swap just for parts availability. wiring is no joke though...i hate doing toyota swaps.

I have a 5 speed.

I already have some parts for the Turbo setup as you can see.

But I still need the E-Greddy managment system. The injectors are from a N/A Supra, I think 360cc. The setup is base on a Camry setup http://meisners.net/camry/5sfeTurbo.pdf

Any suggestions Gentelmen will be apreciated. Go Toyota!

Looks good to me, probably gonna want to get a little FMU to add.

fredk · 07-03-2005, 04:32 PM

how many psi/hp are you going to do?

almc2242 · 07-03-2005, 04:49 PM

I guess the usual for the street 6 lbs. Any suggestions guys that might help.

What is FMU?

fredk · 07-03-2005, 05:01 PM

thats a killer kit for 6psi, if you ever build the motor up or build up a ge, you can turn up the heat

silverstreakin · 07-03-2005, 07:49 PM

i was gonna say, you can toss that mbc for the stock setup. check the plugs on the injectors...im almost certian they will be different and check resistance on the injectors too. some supras have the high impedence injectors...i would doubt those would work for you definately get a fuel management unit (rising rate fuel pressure regulator) what fuel pump are you going to run?

almc2242 · 07-03-2005, 09:49 PM

That was one of the things I was thinking about. Since it is a RAV4, which is not so popular enthusiastic vehicle. Which Fuel Pump should I use? Regarding the Fuel Injectores. I Emailed the Camry 5SFE Turbo guys, and they told me that those FIj would work fine.

What do you guys think?

BTW, I also have a performance oil pump

And Water Pump
