MR2 5SFE on the dyno! 

Didn't know the mr2 sw20 even came with a single cam interesting to know

@@carguynewb7856 it didn’t come with a single cam. All were double over head cam

@boofighter so the toyota camry and rav4 from the 90s also had a dohc?

So the 5sfe is nothing like the 3sfe

+Manuel Fuentes thanks.

If you need any advice, I’ve had one for a few years so ask away

+Daniel Meeraz thank you.

I believe I listed them at the start of the video.

+GoProErthang thanks, it was a cool experience.

I never touched the ecu.

This was my first ever time putting a car on the dyno. I think that I was happy with how it went.

By tuning it, all I did was play around with the distributor. To actually “tune” the ECU you need to have an aftermarket one.

I never noticed that. Interesting observation.

Yes.

The brand is Web Cams. The grind is 294.

I thought they may be Webcams! Id love to get some myself but they only have direct phone number contact I believe. I live in Australia so that'd be an expensive call. I've been asking a few buddies in the community to be middle men for me but no one has seemed too eager on it so far. Was the process to get the 294 grind: send them stock cams, they weld and grind and then send them back? Do you remember the total cost? Thanks for your time

You are correct. I think all in it was around $1000 Canadian. Just to be clear, this is for the 5sfe engine

$1000 seems reasonable. My situation is I have a toyota celica with a 5sfe and the stock ECU isn't tuneable so if I were to get new cams id need to spend the money on a new ECU also. Which isn't an issue, but I plan to import an ST205 GT4 celica next year and the money id spend on cams/ecu and tune would go much further being put into the 3sgte. Ill be keeping both cars anyway, so I'm sure ill eventually go ahead and do this final thing for my slow daily girl, I think she deserves it. Which ECU would you recommend?

I don’t know which ECU to suggest. I am researching that right now myself. I did not have to tune my stock computer. I took out the old, put the new in and off I went.

I put down a blistering 125hp!

+Full Throttle I have watched a few of your videos

boofighter right on love watching other mr2 builds and some honda builds as well.

Wow, $14K is a lot of money but I am sure that's not all in the engine or am I wrong?

The Marsh about 8k in the motor

So how much power does it make now? That price is so high it makes wonder how strong the engine is and how much abuse can it take?

I am planning on using the 3sgte turbo.

@@therealboofighter so you can just use the 3sgte turbo manifold and other parts on the 5sfe??

The exhaust manifold bolts on. Same bolt pattern. You will need to route oil and coolant to the turbo. You will need to source the intercooler and pipes. You will need to figure out a way to control the spark. If not you will bend a rod. To many people have tried to to make it work with out and fail every time. Max boost would be around 5-8 psi on stock internals.

@@therealboofighter that is so helpful thank you!

I am going to see what I can get out of the engine with out a turbo first. If you check out my latest video you can see what I am doing.

125

Wheel

Well, hub, if you are going to be exact, since this is a hub dyno and not a rolling drum.

Yes.

I was happy to make at the wheels what the stock engine was advertising at the crank.

Are you still planning on turbocharging it

Yes, I have been procrastinating though.

Its a big job but will be so much more fun than NA. I’m working on building the other 5s motor still. Just got too many other things to do right now

I am hoping it will be good. I have limited experience with turbo cars and I really like my N/A engine. It could be a case of not knowing what I am missing.

You will need to do an engine swap to get 400hp. Sorry.

@@therealboofighter that's fine with me actually i don't mind that at all i have a stock engine.

David Rosabal yeah, the 5s is a fine engine for what it is but is not a good platform for high HP builds.

@@therealboofighter what engine is best for it?

I am not an expert, however from what I have read in the groups and forums, at that level of power you are going to be doing a bit of work to any engine. Better headgaskets, head bolts, aftermarket ECU, and a bunch of other work.

Thanks for the comment.

In the MR2 it is. In the Celica it’s front wheel drive. In the RAV-4 it can be front wheel or All Wheel drive.

Thank u, I’ve looked all over the internet for this anwser

The engine code is 5sfe

Well, I don’t know what is in his setup, but I would say that it would be very unlikely to be hitting those numbers. Unless HP stands for horse poop.

Perhaps one day.
