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.

it is the mainstream swap of the future for all toyotas that it fits. Can't wait to see someone try it in a 6GC.

and the question remains, does it bolt up to a AWD GT4 trans? if a header can fit behind the intermediate shaft and the block, there has to be room for the center dif of the GT4. I know I can barely squeeze my hand behind the shaft and block on my 3MZ and there's only aprox 10mm that doesn't clear for the center dif.



sorry for going a little off topic

completely agree, in my eyes the 2gr-fe has pretty much rendered the beams/vz/mz and even the 1uz v8 engines redundant, or at least it will do once there a bit easier and cheaper to get the dual vvti and true dohc will make these engines very tunable aswell so i suspect the stock power is a lot less than there true potential.
