thats cool, didnt know the 3m made that much more power than the 1m.
i dunno, im still convinced that the 3rd gen swap is the best bang for your buck, even if it is more money up front.
like i said in my earlier posts, the beams is a fun motor, but once your in a 3s equipped celica, theres no going back to the beams, or 220whp @ 5k rpm.

was that on the fresh rebuild, smaay? i'd imagine with the vvt it'd hold out the tq longer, right?

no rebuild, that was a straight pull from a 05 Sienna. I put the 1MZ intake manifold on it and dropped it in. it felt a little faster than my hybrid engine. the 3MZ has a larger cam also so that helps get the power up there

ill say it again, i drove Eryns car with a 3S-GTE at 18psi and it was freaking awesome!!!! If i hadnt done this already, i would have gone 3S-GTE. but now that I have driven both cars. for people on a budget of 2000-2500 for everything, and i mean everything, the V6 is the way to go.

I know you can shop around to get it cheaper but for the typical 3S-GTE swap, its going to cost about 4000+
