MS-75 Regular Location: Adelaide Registered: June 2002	Re: 5M-TE or 5M-GE Sat, 12 July 2003 12:29 Aahh. The age old 'M' debate. In response to the first question-I'd sat that (as others have) that probably the 1j option would be the go. If you are after some real getup&go, the 1J turbo would really be the go. 5M's suffer the eternal gasket issues-as do virtually all 'M's. I had an awesome 5M-TE. revved out to nearly 8000, 20 psi, external wategate, monster cam etc. I can honestly say that it was one of the best sounding motors I have ever been around (even if it was mine) HOWEVER-getting it to bloody seal up took ages. I got it nailed finally, but then sold it (too much cash spent!) So no-don't do the 5MTE thing. As for 5MGE, most will be old by now, so you'll have to rebuild one first most likely, otherwise you'll have it out again reasonably soon. One suggestion is if you are not after the worlds fastest car-try an atmo 1 or 2J. They have a lot of grunt, will be really cheap and you should be able to source a low KM one. There are a number of dudes on here with good 1 and 2J experience (Norbie, GT etc). If you are going to go to the trouble of grafting the looms of a couple of different cars together-at least graft in one that's attached to a good motor!! =-) Take it easy Sean Adelaide [Report message to a moderator]
