How'd you kill a 5s-Fe at 190,000km????? Confused

Mine still feels fit + healthy at 243,000km bro, although it does tend to puff a whisp of blue smoke from a cold start....


Are you sure it's carked it? A visit from a mobile mechanic might just be worth the seventy-odd bucks if it's something simple and non-terminal


If you can't drive it, it won't cost anything to pull the engine out and see what the damage is. What was it like before it let-go?

If you decide that nothing important & expensive is mangled, take it to a GOOD engine rebuilder with lotsa 5sFe experience, (in bits, or whole) and get an HONEST appraisal. -There are people out there who'll tell you the truth, seriously!!

If you're lucky, you might get away with new rings, new Bearing-caps (Crank-mains, bigends, gudgeon pins, camshafts etc), cleaned and reassembled Valve-gear, Oil Journal flush, and a light hone in the bores to help seat the new rings. If it needs it, get a valve-seat job done while you're there.

All that shouldn't cost the earth (relatively speaking), and you can use the excuse to lighten + balance the crank + flywheel while it's all apart. BONUS!!


Of course, if it's major destruction down below (or up-top), the transplant options look reeeeaal good all of a sudden.



Oh yeah - I thought the N/A 3S-GE had 2-5kw more than the 5S-FE, but about 10nm less. no?

From Celica.net;


5S-FE:
Engine: _ _ _ _ 2.2L four EFI DOHC
Horsepower _ _ 1994-95 _ 135HP@5400RPM
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1996-98 _ 130HP@5400RPM
Torque _ _ _ _ 1994-95 _ 145@4400RPM
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1996-98 _ 145@4400RPM
Bore _ _ _ _ _ _ 3.43 in
Stroke _ _ _ _ _ 3.58 in
Compression ratio _ _ 9.5:1


3S-GE:
Engine _ _ _ _ _2.0L four EFI DOHC
Horsepower _ 1986-89 _ 135HP@6000RPM
Torque _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 125lb/ft@4800RPMs
Bore _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 86mm
Stroke _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 86mm
Compression ratio _ _ _ _9.2:1


If the Head's rooted in your motor, strap on a 3S-GTE head, and install high-compression forged pistons. You'll have to lighten the Crank to suit, then you'll then have 2.2L Torque, with a high-flow head and 6,000+ rpm !! JOY !!!

I'd guess 150->160hp, depending on what she'd rev to..... Evil or Very Mad
