ive been looking around for the 3sge and harness in the area...no luck there. ive decided that im just going to go all out and get an imported engine. but on top of that, one my my newly found camry friends is going to give me his 5sfe for my little project. im trying for a 93-90 3sge and ill put the 5s bottom on it. i want to get a little bit high compression, 10.5-11.0:1. i have every intention to getting the entire bottom end cryo treated.

after i get that in and tuned, i think about 7 psi on it would be really killer. hopefully i can find someone locally that can cryo treat...otherwise its getting shipped to washington state. increases strength by 300%. well worth the money for that.

anyway, what am i going to have to do to get the compression up that high? new pistons, or is milling going to be enough?

hey meng u mill that head and whith that compression it sounds like overheathing, remenber less mass to disipate heat, go with pistons. what do u mean by 7psi, r u gonna turbo that(hi comp and turbo dont mix but u know that

)

heh. high compression and turbo does mix very well if you have everything strong enough. yeah, i worry about pistions making compression a little too high though. i dont need it to be over 10.5 or so. ill start worrying about rings then.

Noice. What year is the 5SFE?

silverstreakin · 03-18-2004, 07:29 PM

not sure. i think its a 94 camry maybe earlier

hey meng i wish u the best of luck, but i still have to stick my arm up to the elbow insde that wound, good luck.

silverstreakin · 03-18-2004, 08:53 PM

heh, 7 psi isnt much. look at what they are doing with stock internals on a 1zzfe. 13 psi and its 10.8:1

cryotreating is a good thing. the bottom end will be far from stock

You're gonna have to be careful on which year block you use. Some years don't match the the coolant passages on the 3SGE head. It varies between the Camry and the Celica, so I'm not sure what years you'd be better off with. You could always have some machine work done though.

silverstreakin · 03-18-2004, 09:35 PM

hmm i thought it was the younger years that didnt really make too much difference. with the cash im gonna drop to get all the stuff cryo treated...i think i can manage some machine work for water passages

me has update too

reversing the battery seems to have left the ecu fine, or at least still running. i just popped the 100 amp 'ALT' fuse (that was fun pulling out, i had broken away all the plastic around the copper contacts before i realized they went down into the fusebox and had to be unbolted to be removed)

finding a match to this 2.5 inch cold air intake has been fun, currently have a random paper air filter stuck into a 2.5-2" adapter, with black tape around the smaller side so its not completeley loose in there

the haynes manual told me i had to remove the entire dash and ac/heating units to get to the wiper motor, so i had the ac released (thru a bucket of water, which scrubs it and is all epa happy per the gentleman at the oil change place.)

actually looking for myself i found the motor right next to the brake assembly. currently about to go outside with a leaf blower to try and blow out the nut from the wiper linkage i dropped down the wheelwell somewhere, then fix the horn and get it inspected, and im a happy celica driver

then start figuring out if it really had and how im going to get a charge of r12 or convert to 134 or whatever before summer heat really starts to come in
