My dad bought this engine at an auction and I am having trouble finding out what car it came from. Have any ideas??? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!!!

It is a BEAMS 3SGE. Worth lots of $ in the MR2 community. Believe it came it MR2's (very few) and Altezzas. It is going to be hard as hell to put that into anything without a wiring harness and ecu... which will be almost impossible to find if you dont have them.

Any ideas as to how much I could sell it for???

 

[jhbhatia]

i've heard of the 3sge (on celica's), but what is beams? (is it like a blower??)

 

[Piddy]

BEAMS 3SGE is the 200hp VVTI version of the 3sge. Like I said..... that clip isn't much without the wiring and ECU.

A COMPLETE CLIP sells for $4,000+. You would be lucky to get 1/2 of that for what you have. It's very rare though.... I would throw it up on the MR2 boards for best offer and see what you get. http://mr2oc.com

Megasquirt or Haltech standalone should work just fiiiiine

And where do you plan on finding wiring??

 

[repinS]

Typically one can build their own harness with Megasquirt, do they not?

BEAMS = Breakthrough Engine with Advanced Mechanism System

It's really nothing special, but it's a slight tweaked VVT-i engine. More power, while maintaining fuel economy.

Never seen on of those b4. Looks nice though.

it's special due to it's rarity stateside. As Russ stated, most mr2 guys that want to go the NA route will pay a hefty chunk of change for that motor(harness and all included)

 

[xpeed]

I didn't meant it like that. I meant that BEAMS is nothing special compared to regular VVT-i engines here. In the stateside, it's rare indeed, but the BEAMS engines are common in Japan. So basically, it's a JDM engine.

The BEAMS thing looks like its just a sticker.

 

[sxlostv1]

i guess cause its a sticker, it'll be easy to make it look right for a FWD setup. boy do i want that engine. if it were the full clip i'd work out a deal with you already.

 

[akujin]

I'm willing to buy that engine....Name a price or get in touch with me on AIM:
