I have seen a dyno of a 4th gen 3s (caldina)making 400whp on stock internals.However with these things you never know how long these engines last for.My question from either personal experiemce or other persons experience .Whats the most power made on a stock bottom half 4 gen to be driven around daily without breaking
I have a 4th gen and changed the pistons cause orginals cracked but didnt have the extra cash to buy forged rods.So i got some JE pistons but the 4th gen rods look so much smaller than the older mr2 and celica rods that with my new build i am deciding to build it to around 350whp and leave it there cause the rods got me nervous |

the rods are the same part number as any other 3SGTE gen. All gens use all the same crankshaft, rods and pistons. The difference between pistons are the compression ratio :
gen 1 = 8.5 :1 gen 2 = 8.8 :1 gen 3 = 8.5 :1 gen 4 = 9.0 :1 Do not be nervous about the rods, if the stock ones can make great HP on any gen 2-3 engine, the gen 4 will follow. |
