i own a 93 celica gt. this car has a 5s-fe 2.2 motor, i'm planning on swapping with a 3sge 2.0 Beams motor! but why go n/a when i can go with the 3sgte and have turbo, i have not seen this swap before! should i go 3sge beams with vvt-i or 3sgte?
His only choice is the redtop. Unless he decides to go with the blacktop in the rav4, but then again he's better off with the redtop from the celica anyways.TTercel said:I believe there is BEAMS ecu being sold on TN in the parts for sale section. About a year ago I saw wire harness. There was a BEAMS redtop 3SGE on sale on TN also, not sure how much it was going for but with that combo I just told you your on your way to getting BEAMS in your car. Just wonder which BEAMS are you looking for redtop 3SGE or blacktop 3SGE?
If you are having any trouble debating between the two engines you might as well go with the 3sgte. Either one you decide on you will be very happy with. But, if you seek more power then you'll find that the BEAMS will be limited to its stock form. Upgrading parts will be very hard to find for the BEAMS.celtrac said:i own a 93 celica gt. this car has a 5s-fe 2.2 motor, i'm planning on swapping with a 3sge 2.0 Beams motor! but why go n/a when i can go with the 3sgte and have turbo, i have not seen this swap before! should i go 3sge beams with vvt-i or 3sgte?

Wait didnt the Rav4 have the redtop as well, and the Altezzas have blacktop?
Why does Japan get the best cars and motors:disappoin:lol:
The BEAM engine is N/A because of its high compression ratio. You cant put a turbo or SC on it or you'll just blow everything out from under ur hood. However, for a N/A - the BEAM is by far a fuckins sweet engine.celtrac said:i own a 93 celica gt. this car has a 5s-fe 2.2 motor, i'm planning on swapping with a 3sge 2.0 Beams motor! but why go n/a when i can go with the 3sgte and have turbo, i have not seen this swap before! should i go 3sge beams with vvt-i or 3sgte?
