I have got a 92 camry with the 5SFE engine in it and i would like to get anouther 20-30hp out of the engine with out going turbo or tearing the engine apart. I currently have done a 3'' CAI, custom grounding kit, basic tune up: cap, rotor, plugs and a new coil. I have a stock exhaust a new baby so dont want to make it too loud was considering removing the resonator and maybe building a header for it if there was a flange available online. Ive looked around for parts and DIY mods and was hoping there was a few sites i have been able to find yet you guys know of. Im just looking for a little more fun to drive and passing power. I have a few other mods suspension mods and 17'' rims with 215/45ZR17 front and 235/45ZR17 rear just had them so thats the current location i am aware its FWD!

not really man, unless you buy megasquirt and build a ecu yourself with fuel trim and ignition timing then maybe but if you looking to get power out of a 5s, your going to have to pay to play. alot of people say it isn't worth it, it truely isn't but other like to take the challenge. Red_T_Swiftcam is building a 5sfte as we speak, and I trying to save up to build a 5sfte myself, we both are taking different routes to do this but anything can be accomplished if you really want to do it.

Unless it's a 318

What's wrong with the 318i?

***Zembonez*** · 05-08-2010, 08:46 PM

318 is the slowest of slow BMWs

My 328Ci has enough pep to beat Mustang GT's. Just get a manual if you want the maximum fun to drive factor.

Well... a 328Ci is quite a different animal than the ECO 318i... That's apples and oranges for sure. My son has an E36 M3 and it's a sweet car.

Tis true. But then again, the 318 was the E30 and E36 models. The E46 was offered in no smaller than a 323 in the US. There is a 320 offered in Europe.

But anyways, OP if you really want a bit of peppyness and something fun to drive, then look into a sports car. MR2's are nice.
