Re: beams?

you mean like a beams engine?

i think beams is the guy that made toyotas VVT system so they named it after him... i'm not sure...bit like Mzda's "miller" cycle

HOWEVER beams is definately the VVT part however it got it's name....

Re: beams?

The BEAMS engine is a 200 HP non-turbo engine that was an option after 1996, so it was not avaialbe in the US. There are a few of them here now though.

Re: beams?

toyota ceased importation of the mr2 in 1995, though the company continued to make the car through 1998. the later model cars in japan had a gen3 3sgte, on which the major difference from it's previous years are a CT20b turbo and elimination of the AFM. to my knowledge, a BEAMS engine has never been stock in a MR2 of any kind.

that information is incorrect... the stock n/a mr2 in 1998 did come with the single vvti beams 3sge (red top) and the mr2 was produced until 1999 though very few

i also said that there are very few IN THE WORLD since the engine was only found in mr2's for less than 2 years

there arent any stock beams mr2's in america since, like ac427cpe said, the mr2 stopped production here in 1995

Re: beams?

theres slightly under 1000 world wide.

the main BEAMS engine is the the Altezza, or IS-200... but just the JDM version. here the Beams engine has dual VVTL-i (ont the intake and exhaust) but for some reason toyota decided to export the is200 with a 6cyl. So most countries never got them.
