you could ask on a toyota tercel web forum?
oh wait, you just did

You have a 3ee

94Tercel = 3EE
94 Paseo = 5EFE

5E's have the plugs enter dead center the valve cover, 3EE they enter the side of head above manifold.

so is that one of the better engines???

Tercel Drifter · 04-17-2006, 08:06 PM

Better or more powerful? the 5e is more powerful. and gets a bit better gas milage. both engines tend to be reliable.

steveokinevo · 04-17-2006, 08:29 PM

do you happen to know how powerful it is??? its only got 105k miles on it

Tercel Drifter · 04-17-2006, 09:40 PM

91-94 5efe = 100 hp
95+ 5efe = 92 hp
91-94 3ee= 82 hp
88 3ee = 87 hp.

I'd add....If I had a chance and would be stong enough and didn't feel and pain. I would rip the 3EE outta my car and beat it with my hands till it is beyond recognition. Till there is nothing left.

But hay its only me. lol.

I love my 3ee and have refused to swap it so, It's been good to me. So I'm rewarding it with a top end rebuild and a shiny bottle of nitrous oxide.

Why not slap on a 4E head with a WEPR header and TD04?

thats some crazy $h!t dude, you made a believer outta me wanting to build up my engine alittle bit,

Celler · 04-19-2006, 09:34 PM

By the time a 3EE will hit about 160 HP it will be about 3000$ if not in it. And a new motor will run about 900$ And you can start at 135hp....

Tercel Drifter · 04-19-2006, 09:56 PM

Who said anything about making that kind of power? But yeah If you have high goals get a DOHC e-series engine. Though there's this guy in cali who build a 150 hp N/A 3ee. wasn't cheap but sure is cool.
