Head and turbo adding questions
Is the is the 3sGTE head a direct swap onto the 5Sfe block?
I have heard conflicting reports on this.
I am currently thinking of doing a turbo upgrade on my 90 GTS and I want to keep it low budget.
I plan to use a 3sgte computer and re pin my harness,so I can convert to MAF .
Also,I am concerned about the more agressive timing tables of the N/A 5Sfe.
Here is the plan so far:
-Upgrade fuel pump
-repin to use the turbo computer and mass air.
-drop a complete 3sgte head on my shortblock,intake,injectors,FPR,exhaust manifold,etc.
-put the small IHI(off Probe turbo) I alredy have on
-will probabaly use the spare TurboCoupe IC I have
Only plan to run 9 psi max as this will be a daily driver.
If the head will not fit,will the intake off of the 3cgte bolt directly to my current head?
If not, can I swap the injectors and fuel rail to my current intake plenum?
Actualy I was thinking the Intake I have would make running a FMIC easier.
One more parting Question: Will the 3sgte bolt directly to my current tranny?
Have been told it will not,but thought I would check. I would much rather have a complete engine that was designed to take boost,than to start modding a N/A engine.
I am no stranger to boosted engines,but I am used to the Ford 2300 Lima. You can run 20# on stock internals all day everyday without breaking anything,unless you drop a stick of dynomite through the intake.
