Question 5SFE upgrades

Does anyone have any recommendations for modifications to the MR2's 5SFE 2.2 liter engine, that are available in 2004?

theres plenty of stuff, intake, headers, exhaust, usual bolt ons. but if you go with what MRQ said, a 3s_gte swap. you will be a LOT happier, trust me.

Question 5SFE upgrades

Are any of the Cams, Headers for MR2 N/A still emissions legal on the car? It has to conform due to the environmental regulations here. No doubt, the 3S-GTE would have been my first choice, but back when I bought the SW21 so many years ago, the turbo MR2 was prohibitive from cost of entry and insurance, plus the car needed to be the daily driver.

A header will remove the catalytic converter, so it will not be emmissions legal ... dunno about cams. They are probably legal, but you woul have to get the car tuned to pass the sniffer.

get a turbo kit for it. 5sfte.

3sgte exhaust manifold bolts right up, use CT26. This can be a great combo. It's been done quite a few times sucessfully.

try poweredbytoyota.com they have a custom turbo kit for a 5sfe. i dont kno if its true but i heard a turbo on a 5sfe pullls harder than a 2.0 liter turbo. I think it has its limits though. if you going for straight motor. hotshot headers, weapon R makes an intake , work on the ignition, ive only seen hks sport and greddy sp for the catback. i use to build i a 5sfe but i swapped it out for a j spec 3sgte. good luck in you mods

you can always relocate your cat if you put on the headers...i am planning on buying some headers and if it doesnt mount up to my exhuast i am just going to get a new cat and put it further down the pipe...plus i think it would make the flow a little better... not so close to the headers ya know
