Performance under 500 for 5sfe - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #82476 13 posts Started by CrypticDeity
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what parts I could get with any noticeable hp gains under $500. Normally I would start with intake and exhaust, then get an underdrive pulley or something. Parts seem kind of limited but I see people on here doing swaps with other engines alot like beams and stuff. Anyone help me out?
you could give a shot to colt cams. best bang for the back
Any idea where I can purchase them for a good price? Looks like I need a safc too to get big gains.

Well I found the website. Look's like I have to send mine in? They don't have prices either. Hmm..

that might gain you 20hp if done right

intake, headers and exhaust, any extra money left over for cams.

5sge in research mode.winter = building time.
Id put money on the cylinder head and valve seat combination being less than optimal, most likely power to be had there.

If i ever get my mitts on a 5sfe head ill do a series of flowtests and put the details up here for others to follow.
Doing an audi head at the minute so im up to my ears in that one.

i have a spare 5s head ill let go for shipping costs only

Hi Stephen thanks for that offer but i think shipping from texas to the uk will be a killer! smile.gif Cost me 42 bucks for an oil seal to be shipped.

Ill keep my eyes open for one locally, probably can pick one up el cheapo and i dont mind seeing what its got vs what it can give.
any info gleaned ill pass on as and when i get it , gives me a side project and keeps me on my toes. wink.gif
Thanks again, much appreciated. smile.gif
oops didnt notice you were across thew pond lol

either way, glad someone is working for the greater good:)
