or you can remove the oil cap, transport the oil cap to a faster more tricked out car and then re-install the oil cap on said faster more tricked out car

hey guys i found these headers http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/91-95-MR ... enameZWDVW

and its the same engine the 5SFE... would that work for my car?? its the same engine... or do you guys think i should just hit up a real shop and ask them for what i need?? and if i actually pull off these mods with my 4cyl how much horsepower do you guys think i'll be pulling off??

[xavier]

those appear to be 5s headers for a MR2. The downpipe probably wont mate with your exhaust. I think youd be better off finding a shop you trust and have them make all custom parts. See if you can find someone to make internals and boost that puppy.

what about engine mods... what do you guys think i should start off first for a 4cyl?? i was also thinking about cams so i can up my low rev power... what do you guys think i should do?

The 5S can be stroked, bored, ported, polished and cammed, not to mention turboed or supercharged. However this all cost alot of money. I have posted at length about alot of the stuff available, so hit the search button and read up.

stoked = longer rods on the pistons , bored = making the pistons bigger, ported = making the intake/exhaust vavles smoother

right?? which one do you guys think i should start off with first?? and which one would give more gains hahha this is crazy so much money...

I just say that if you can't beat someone on the straights, beat them in the corners

Rightish... P & P is actually increasing the flow into and out of the head, by making the ports larger and smoother. You could order custom oversized valves, I am not too sure from where but, I think some of the Celica guys have done this. You can do head work without pulling the motor, so that is a good place to start. Doing this would be good in combination with the Webcams regrinds. If you’re lucky it MIGHT net you up to 15-20 fwhp. Last time I checked a company called Flatlander Racing sells a prepared short block that is bored and stroked to 2.7L. All this together I would guess you're already around, or in excess of $3,000 in parts, assuming you do all the work yourself, you might as well do a 3S-GTE swap .

Rippmods(Cough POS Aftermarket for Toyota lately) Provided a SC Kit and Headers. Unfortunately, they outsource to have someone do their crap and sell it to us. I'm in a Groupbuy thats been going on way toooo long for the Rippmods 5SFE headers and there has been very little support by Rippmods to keep the ppl updated of wuts going on. Always gotta call them up for details. Anyways, you can try your luck if you're willing to toss in the cash and wait for a long long time. They're pretty much stuck up onHyundai? projects I think atm. Else find a good shop that can do custom turbo setups. Sadly, for u being in Cali, it might be hard to pass those nasty emissions/carb inspections

3SGTE would be an easy swap but your only gonna gain so much unlike from a V6 setup. I already gave up the idea of doing any more mods to my car. Just the suspension and wheels were my ideal things to do though as there are tons of ppl that suck at corning(turning DUH) Good luck with your lil project.

[ReaDY-SeT-Go]

yeah this project is getting frustrating hahahah right now all i know is that... i gotta find a trd kit... suspension... then a carbon fiber hood... then cat back greddy exhaust?... then injen intake?... then find headers?.... then... stroke and bored and port and god dayum hhahaha how does all that sound?? is it gonna be worth it? will be having a decent amount of power?

[Turbosolara]

5sfe is a not a performance motor, therefore, the most significant way to increase power is get a supercharger (ripmod) or custom. a complete turbo usually will cost you roughly 4000-7000 depend on what brand stuffs you use. for solara, the first thing you should modify should be the suspension. you should replace the shock and springs at same time. It will significantly improve the look and performance. you should always try the "search" function to gather more information

[ReaDY-SeT-Go]

i was looking around and doing a grip of reading... i guess it looks obvious that the CP-E intake its a lot more better then the INJEN intake i just couldnt find a few things though.... would this work for the 5SFE engine??? or do i gotta get this custom fitted to with a lot of other things hahha and where can i get this cp-e?? i found the site too thoguh but i just wasnt sure which one to be looking at...

[camry_101]

I have a brand new real one $1000 shipped color is red

bump good seller!!!!

[solow1605]

yo fool you need a cold air intake with a t4 turbo and a stand alone fuel man injection. AND enough nitrous to blow yourself up! ok i'm done, just getting in the spirit for Tokyo Drift

[TheTamago]

Stick with an Injen intake with a CAE(Cold Air Extension) No matter how much u can push the 5SFE, it won't make Solara that much faster cause of the crappy weight. For me, i only tossed in a TRD airfilter into my airbox. AZ got to much dust/debris/bugs for me to worry about getting sucked into my engine.

CP-E only works on V6 engines ONLY for the solara as they prefer majority pick with power.

[TadS]

is it gonna be worth it? will be having a decent amount of power?

No, you would be better off buying sportier car. I bought 2 AE92's (one a body sound SR5, the other a rusted out GTS) and a 7A swap (motor, electronics, etc.) out of a ’95 Celica for less than a grand total. The running AE92 with the 7A swap will bury my 5S-FE Solara. After I finish moving the manual and doing Franken-motor setup, which I already have the all the parts for I will be hauling butt pretty well. I figure even after buying the paint I will have spent less than $2000 total. Probably a much better investment than the huge piles I have dumped into the Solara.
