I did it for me. I realize that now. best post in this dumbass thread. comparing a v6 that makes 95% of its power below 5k rpm, and a I4 that makes 90% of its power above 4500rpm is really stupid, imo. it really is all about how the individual wants the car to feel, and drive. the best way to find out which setup is for you is to seek out someone who has whatever setup your interested in, and drive it, or at least ride in it. if 5-600$ diffrence between one setup or the other is the determining factor on a swap, you shouldnt be swapping, period. if your doing a swap because someone told you one setup is better than another, you should be swapping, period.

I'm not jumping in on the debate cause I love my husband and I am proud of the work we have done on the v6 and at some point I would love for my 7a to be a beams. But the biggest kick I've gotten in a while is to know he's the smartest dumbass....lol

something i want to make real clear here. This is a friendly debate over a choice in engines. I am not attacking anyone personally or tried to, nor have i taken any difference of opinion personally. Sure disagreements can get heated, but i want everyone to know, nothing is personal. With that said, time for some funnies.
I challenge anyone to make better ones.

Please don't hate me, but I'm searching for a Beams swap for a while and can't find any decent with axles or even a whole front cut
 I'm sorry to junk this thread with that, but search button wasn't my friend, nor was the ebay and I'm searching that because my engine is slowly increasing the amount of oil consumption. Any websites or anything welcome! So yes, also my vote goes for Beams, since living in Europe I was able to drive 3S Celicas and I love the 7k or more redlining but I can't say anything against V6 since I don't know how they perform in our cars and you always have to at least respect the amount of labor, love, enthusiasm and ofcoure money was put in something like swapping totally different engine especially doing it first without any info behind. And looking Smaays video, that V6 is a BEAST in the car Cheers EDIT: I forgot to mention, my car is AT, not ST chassis

All you need for a BEAMS is the motor, harness, and ECU. It uses the same trans as a GT so it will use the same axles. Huge bonuses for a BEAMS set are the OEM intake a B pipe, though neither is 100% necessary.

I will concur, the BEAMS is an easier swap.

According to factory flywheel numbers the BEAMS gives a gain of 62 hp over the 5S, so where did 40 come from? I'm all up for the V6, as by now if you don't know that I love torque you've been living under a rock. Though after looking on eBay I don't see how the BEAMS can cost that terribly much more at this point. I've seen a lot of them now for $1,400 or less and that's including the engine, LSD transmission, harness, and ECU. Some even include the MAF sensor as well. From looking at recent V6 swaps the only way I can see getting it done for the same amount of money would be to find a Camry/Solara donor for about $500. Then still need the custom mount, harness, and half-shafts and few other niggles here and there. It'd be great if the V6 could be brought to the plug and play level the BEAMS has.

If you find the rare TRD supercharged one hp and torque go to 242. The 1MZ in the Lexus ES made a little more than the Solara, but it required premium. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
