5sfe manifold swap?

[camryfreak09]

has anyone ever swaped the 3sgte intake manifold on to the 5sfe? i was planning to build a custom one but i never seen any one do it before and i wanted to know why? and how much hp gain can i get from incresing the compression to 8.5.1?

Pretty much of of us doing turbos do the 3sgte manifold, it bolts right on. Then you can either bolt on the ct26 or get an adapter for the t3.

And you lose HP lowering the compression, you gain it back because it allows you to boost at a higher pressure.

And the usual: search.

its done all the time - read the 5SFTE turbo thread ^

and you will LOSE hp if you lower your compression

[trdcamry00]

hes talking about the intake manifold. I've never seen it done as of yet.

I believe the job will require custom work to get the 5sfe head and 3sgte manifold to match up properly.

[Blackhawk3D]

completely different intake ports and manifold design, would require massive changes to the head and manifold, pretty much impossible practicality wise IMHO. It'd be so much work you might as well just put in a 3S-GTE and be done with it.

oh, my bad - intake manifold ...

completely useless - nothing wrong with the 5S one

[Blackhawk3D]

well, that's debatable, but none the less your conclusion is correct, useless.

how about a custom/ lighter intake manifold made of aluminum or steel w/ bigger ports and throttle body?

[MIC0417]

It is already made of aluminum. The reason this would be worthless is because the shape of the head and angle of the valves in relation to the combustion chamber is designed for good fuel consumption and power.

This is a family type car. Really it's inefficient to try and get real power out of this for two reasons, price and it's FWD. A RWD car that has 240HP is much better than the same in FWD. Give it up we don't own sports cars. Ours will live longer though.

i ment to ask when getting high comp forged piston do u have to tune the ecu to adapt to it, and how much hp will be gained.

[Rdizzle]

The 5sfe would be a poor candidate for a high compression tune. It was done once, netted about 130hp to the wheels. Better the low compression turbo route.

[camryfreak09]

has anyone ever bulit a custom intake manifold on the 5s? i want to do it to increase the amout of air into the head

[Rdizzle]

wraith made a custom intake for his 5sgte. You can make one for any car, but like usual, custom costs nothing but money and time.

or better yet - the High Comp turbo route
