Beams 3sge swap, approx. how expensive? Options

[silverceli09]

how expensive would it be to swap a 3sge out with my 5sfe? what all would i have to do to perform the swap?

the beams 3s-ge vvti is the newest engine, the older engine (3rd gen 3s-ge) uses the same component as the 3s-gte just no turbo, its a better engine from a performance perspective plus it will handle more power

what??? lol, no the 4gen 3sge can handle the same power as the 3gen 3sge. the 4gen 3sge uses most components from the 3gen 3sge (some dont even change)
If you want I can show you the things that are the same/change?


if your going to take your heat shield off put heat wrap on, I really recommend it.

it just seems like pheonix header ( pheonix is a guy who is the on mr2 beams forums who lives in japan) are better design than stock ones and look shinnier and compliment the engine bay. But yes i know you do need to wrap headers if you do not have a heat shield. I had ebay headers without wrapping and with, and there was quite a different.

Your saying that the header for the redtop beams has a great design, and i believe your right. So ya can you explain the similarities between the 3rd and 4th gen 3sge plz....
