Can the 3sgte camfshafts be dropped into the 5sfe head? I'm sure the 3sgte cams have a more aggressive profile but if you're turboing a 5sfe would it work, has anyone done this?

I'm gunna say no.

Webcams has cams for the 5S-FE though.

no, no chance bro... webcams will alter your existing cams to be more agressive if thats what you want. check them out.

No.

Theres no scissor gears on the cams for a 3S-GTE. 3S-GTE also has 2 camgears.

3S-FE has one camgear (on intake cam) and the intake cam drives the exhaust cam through a scissor gear.

Heres a pic of the cams from my 3S-FE:

does anyone make 5sfe cams that aren't reground, or hardwelded?

Nick · 02-17-2004, 10:43 PM

The only way you can get bigger cams for the 5sfe is to get them regound or hard welded. Since Toyota built the F heads to have those scissors gears aftermarket companys are staying away from making a whole cam for it because one it is too expensive and two those gears are part of the timing and it would be real hard to get it correct.
