something finally

[5sfe]

well i been looking ways to raise my power output of my solara and i came to this...i heard that by changing the camshaft of the 5sfe and can increase power to 20-30hp, just by cams, insane! and doing exhuast can increase power as well (i dont know how much)..any other ideas?

[LEE337]

change out that 5sfe to a 1mzfe and youll get a lot more hp.

[5sfe]

i know that, but if i do a swap its going to be expensive, i rather get a v6 model of the solara with all its advantages not a swap...i use what i got and i got a 5sfe with a lot of low end torque, i need to increase power through the whole power band.. i need to beat some cars including those honda boys, i cant beat a d16 non vtech its not funny anymore its making me mad.

you should get that 1mz/3mz hybrid motor for the swap, the 5sfe is way too slow and weak of a base.

The 2AZ that is in my Solara right now doesn't even make sense, its a sub 200hp motor in a 3000lb+ car......

--------------------------

There was a member here who turbocharged his 5sfe but spent a total of 11K setting it all up.

i dont know what was toyota thinking when they put this engine in the solara, its way underpowerd and the v6 makes the same mpgs as the 4cyl, it doesnt add up

[DriDed]

Maybe you should just sell your 4 cylinder Solara and get a more powerful car with the money.

I know it would be well worth the money but its not the only turbo Solara around, maybe in FL though haha.

The funny thing is that the turbo project is possible for me to do.

The swap maybe expensive, but it will be different.
I beat you could sell the 5SFE to someone that owns an MKII MR2, i know that they're usin' the 5SFE cause the bottom end of hte 5SFE is stronger than the 3SGTE, i think.

Dam dude, that sux
Not even a non vtech?? Id be upset and lookin for some upgrades as well.

[5sfe]

it was a 93 honda civic ex with a d16z6 with a 5speed, the problem was that his vtech wasnt working AND i still lost badly, theirs got to be more owners with 4cyl, nobody with a 4cyl never thought of ways upgrading their engines?
