deciding what engine to use

any sugeestions? I dont want a turbo engine but i do want better performance than my 2se has to offer.
3SGE<<(leaning towards)
3SFE
18R
let me know what u guys think.

youll prob want the 3sge. if you can get your hands on a later model jdm 3sge youll be in good shape then. i hear theyre pushin 200hp all motor. its what powered the gts everywhere but here in the 5th and 6th gens. how can u call it a gt"sport" when it has no more performance than a regular gt?

3sge is teh best on that list, and yes the beams 3sge put out a little over 200HP

Is it easy to convert the BEAMs motor to a transverse mount? Why not just going turbo 4AGE? *wink* *wink*

why would he put it in transverse position if his cars RWD *wink wink* lol :)

huh? He's going to do a RWD converion on his 4th Gen?

he had a third i thought? lol too many poeple nowadays

There's a Beams engine on ebay right now. I didn't know they had that much power.I was thinkin 3SGE with a GT-S 5 sp. They are geared better, right? lol thanx for lettin me know about the beams 3sge.

he had a third i thought? lol too many poeple nowadays

naw he has a 4th, he even has a photo album of his car. 3rd gen seems to be the 2nd least common celica to be fixed up. First being 2nd gen, lol no one wants that car.

2nd gens are gay, ya i see now he has a 4rth, just put the 3sge fwd tranny on the beams 3sge ....you might have a prolem with the altrernator (just relocate it) but other than thats its pretty straight forward

that beams engine is bad ass 210hp na. imagine if you turboed it at least 280. thats better than st205 3sgte. and its cheaper.

sort of, the only reason why it has more power is because the higher compression and the slim diffrence in the head, if you were to swap head from that and a 2nd gen 3sgte and up the comp it would be the same....
