Beams Red top Vs *MZ-FE, Nope, no 3sgte please. Options

[njccmd2002]

Need your help. 3sgte, I have decided against this. This is not a useless post, swap is a coming!! but dont know what!!



Please Disregard swap cost, dont tell me why it cant be done, or too difficult, i dont care.

If i had 2 celicas, identical same color and everything. One is a V6 and the other one is beams, what do you want. This is not a discussion about cost, or how hard it is to swap.

I have seen HP is about the same, however there are torque differences. What does that entail?

V6 has a little more torque. I read some posts, but i know is what keeps the engine going, like momentum, but in practicality, what is it? , what does that mean to me?

Yes, I dont want hassle with turbo, at least for now, the v6 can be supercharged.

My goal is to push at least 190 hp, thats for now.

I just cant decide, im torn, i need opinions. Beams is gorgeous, but a V6 is magnificent.

Well obviously I'm going to say go for a V6, trust me you won't regret it.

here's to clear up and confirm some myths

no, it does not make your car heavy
mine weighs in at 1220kg with all my extras and 1/4 tank of gas

yes it can be done cheaper than the Beams

yes there is virtually unlimited amount of easy to find parts for cheap

yes, it's very good on gas when babied, it's not bad when floored, in fact it's far better than 5SFE in town.

and NO it does not make it hard to work on, at all
it's makes it easier to work on that a 5S, some people say that and they never worked on one or even seen one
there is plenty of room all around of the engine. I don't need to squeeze into tight spaces. I can reach any spot with a wrench from top or bottom, as long as my arm is long enough.

edit: and no you don't need a lowered custom cross member, i used the stock cross member + GT4 mounts with E153, you can even use the stock GT tranny but it's not as strong.
