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 everyones adding there 2 cents so i'll just add mine as well. the Beams does have alot going for it being a 3S-GE it does have aftermarket support no doubt about that plus most people just love the High RPMs it can reach which make it an awesome engine for the track. But of course it lacks torque in the lower Revs however since it has VVT-i it's not as bad as older versions of the 3S-GE. the VZ series is usually older and has a Cast Iron block which can withstand high PSi if you ever plan on boosting it especially if you get the latest versions, but there not as common as they are over sea's. the MZ series is a good engine to go with also since it's all Aluminum which is light and later models have VVT-i and make pretty good power numbers an yes they have alot more torque than 4 cylinders. Plus there incredibly common engines in the US. But IMO i would get the early VVT-i MZ versions found is some lexus models that have Duel throttle Bodies with Aluminum Intake Manifolds over the single throttle bodied ABS Manifolds of newer versions. ofcourse you can always swap those manifolds over to newer models... At least I think you can. Well thats my 2 cents hope it helped.
