Engine Recipes
JDM Export engines
You can purchase a 5MGE, 6MGE, 7MGTE etc. for a quite
reasonble price. Some people receive them 'as is' from the importer, then
install in the car. We recommend that you treat this engine as a core,
and at the very least open it up, inspect it and regasket it as well as
replace seals. You can find a list of importers here

to Rabid Chimp and they will send you a custom color set for $85.00 - website: www.rabidchimp.com email: aaron@rabidchimp.com
High Power 5MGE
- Port, polish, 3-angle valve job w/ stronger valves
and springs for cylinder head
- More aggressive cams, the more HP you get from them
the rougher the idle
- Bore out cylinders w/ bigger pistons and crank
- Thinner head gasket to raise compression
- Retune AFM and/or increase fuel pressure
- Adjustable cam gears for tuning
- Bore out throttle body w/ larger intake pipe and a
ram air setup
- Nitrous. 50-75shot is the most people have run on these
motors.
- For 82-83 cars, use the 84+ pistons to increase compression
from 8.8 to 9.2.
6MGE Transplant
- Has crank of 7M, adds ~25HP
- Companies have been known to lie about mileage on engine,
buyer beware
- Complaints of "check engine" light coming
on >80mph has been rectified by swapping in a 6M ECU
- You might need to use your 5M EGR and upper intake
chamber, depending on if your place of residence requires emissions
tests
