What is the best Naturally Aspired engine for toyota?
I hear beams and silver top thrown around. But what is the BEST? Which one has the most power to weight ratio? Most power after modifications? Is the 7th gen gts engine the best n/a engine toyota offers? |

depends what you are talking about... car+motor factory combonation is probably the blacktop 3sge in the celica or the 2zz in the 7th gen celica... but if you are talking swapped... a 1mzfe in a 1st or 2nd gen MR2 is probably the best NA combo for all around... for streightline the V8 swapped 5th gen is probably tops (i think it was using a toyota truck motor wasnt it? or was it a domestic motor?)

[right][snapback]336962[/snapback][/right] No. The V8 swapped ST185 used a 4.0L V8 from a Lexus LS400. And indeed it was twin-turbocharged. Back to topic, IMO 4A-GE and 3S-GE are the best. The 2ZZ-GE can be as good but it needs more aftermarket. There still ain't no cams for the damn thing. Highest HP 4A-GE i've seen is the 240HP Formula Atlantic engine. Highest HP 3S-GE i've seen is the 270PS TRD engine. Still waiting on the 2ZZ-GE to come out with similar numbers. Redtop = 200PS Blacktop = 210PS This post has been edited by BLADDER_MASTER: Sep 21, 2005 - 2:46 PM |
