Ok... Umm I feel stupid but what's a BEAMS 3sge, or more specifically, what is BEAMS?

[troy]

I think your getting yourself into something that your not ready for. Trust me, just because you have the money, doesn't mean you should go engine swappin` and tranny mountin`

But of course, best of luck. I recommend just buying a base celica, learning from it, and moving on to bigger and better things.

Yes, I decided to buy a GT and swap a 3sge JDM engine later. I never mentioned anything about swapping a BEAMS engine in there, I just want to know what it is, is there something bothering you that I should know of? Because I JUST want to learn, besides, who said I had the money?

lol, there's no such thing as a "BEAMS" engine, they were referring to another definition of the word..

v. beamed, beam·ing, beams
v. intr.
1. To radiate light; shine.
2. To smile expansively.

For example, BEAMS 3sgte

That means he's beaming about a 3sgte motor.. not that it's an actual engine (beams).

You've gotta be kidding me... Anyone have a real definition?

wtf? There is a BEAMS 3SGE, its in the JDM ST204, SW21 and the RS200. It makes between 210 and 220 HP depending on whether its a Redtop or Blacktop. I can't remember what the acronym stands for.

[4th_genGTS]

So it IS an acronym, by any chance, does it stand for Breakthrough Engine with Advanced Mechanism System? What does it mean?
