with a n/a camry 5sfe what is the best you can push without the need of forced induction, basically how much hp from all possible upgrades can you get it to run at. Anyone here running any significant hp without a s/c or turbo?

He said WITHOUT....and to answer the question...not much..LoL

if you REALLY REALLY put some work in you could probably get the 5SFE up to like...180-200hp...

But for what you'd spend to do that NA you could ironically probably do it cheaper Turbo.

Rdizzle · 02-09-2008, 12:42 PM

and the 180 would be a dyno queen and horrible on the street. The highest i know of was an MR2 guy running maybe 150

And yes, turbo is cheaper

MisterArdovino · 02-09-2008, 01:10 PM

139HP

... I wouldn't expect more than 150, and you definitely could turbo it for more bang/buck.

Just strip the car (take out spare tire, seats, sound deadening, etc.) if you don't want to spend much. You can also do the free mods which are explained in this:

Other than that, there's not much you can do.

Nitros is cheap compared to supercharging and turbo.

NO2 isn't real power. Save the gas for the serial killers.

bigbird · 02-09-2008, 06:36 PM

N/A build is a waste on these cars. you want N/A power go for a honda motor(cuz parts are everywhere) or for best bang for buck, go for an F-body GM. ive got friends with 400+ with just bolt ons no FI. not an opinion ya prolly want to hear but its true.

ECale3 · 02-09-2008, 06:44 PM

^ NA build on the V6 might be fun. But the 5SFE just isn't made for NA power.

BlueFusion6851 · 02-09-2008, 09:18 PM

Yeah if you want to do an N/A build up... the V6's are going to be the best way to spend your money and the funnest.

Pfftttt. What is "real" power? It it add 50hp instantly (to an engine that only makes ~100 to the wheels)..........that sounds real to me.

1) It meets the requirements of the OP: Not "forced" induction.
2) It really is pretty damn cheap, and too obscenely difficult to install for someone handy with tools.

Nitrous is BS power. I think for it to be "real" power it has to be available all the time, instead of pressing a button. Press the gas and its there. Sure nitrous is cheap and easy to hook up, but i think it feels better to say Yah i turboed my 5sfe than to say i hooked up nos.
