wut engine will fit i nthe solara.

Jzs147-RR · 03-11-2002, 02:44 PM

A 3sgte will fit with some modification but after that i canot think of any engines other then the 1mzfe and 5sfe that would fit because they come stock with the car.

F1 Chris · 03-11-2002, 05:30 PM

the new 2AZFE will fit too...that's the new 157hp 4cyl and it'd be a better turbo candidate. i don't know if i'd put a 3sgte in because it has no torque.

WeApOnX · 03-12-2002, 09:56 PM

how much will that cost around?

excuse me ?!?!?! NO torque ???? try US spec. 200hp / 200 torque and my J-spec 225hp / 230torque ... and thats out of a 4cylinder. Making a whole lot more torque than a certain engine with 2 more cylinders and 1.0 liter more of displacement. The 3S-GTE has alot more torque than your V6 chris...

ROFLMAO

If it wasn't Justin it would be me jumping on that "NO TORQUE" comment! HAHA I knew you'd come through!

But yeah, 3S-GTE has a helluva lot of everything! :grin:

sorry bro with out boost I would still be making a whole alot more torque than a V6 1MZ-FE...

F1 Chris · 03-14-2002, 02:52 PM

so what did you do to make gobs of torque without boost? :smile:

My 3VZ-FE makes more torque @3000rpm than the 1MZ-FE, it doesn't take much to beat that engine!! LOL, J/K!!

F1 Chris · 03-14-2002, 07:26 PM

yeah, but it's a 3L V6. i can't see how a 2L I4 can make more than 160lb-ft torque at the wheels. The S2000 has a 2L I4 and while it makes 240hp, it only makes 153lb-ft torque @7000 at the crank.

He went to Walmart and bought a can of timing. :wink:

Well a S2000 engine is not a good example since its one of those engine you got to rev like a hoe to get any power out of.The 3sgte is a well tuned engine that gives power all over the power band not like honda engines that aim only for high reving top end power output.Yes a v6 will give more power at 2000rpm but after that the 3sgte will eat it for lunch and crap it out faster then you can say 1-2-3 .

havent you seen the spec's on the MR2 ... 160ft lbs of torque?!?!?! 170 to 180ft lbs of torque is what a 3S-GTE will put down at the ground...

F1 Chris · 03-15-2002, 01:24 AM

but that's under boost. no boost = no torque
