So i was thinking the other day of the difference between the motor's in the 6th gen and 7th gen celica's. The 3sge engine was a very potential motor with 3rd gen producing 177 hp 142 lb torque, 4th gen "Redtop Beams" 197hp 152 lb torque and the 5th gen "Blacktop" found in the Altezza producing 207 hp and 159 lb's torque. I would say those a pretty impressive numbers.
Honda has had their vtec since the nsx first came out in the early 90's and they have been improving ever since. So why did toyota decide to go with a 1zz-ge and 2zz-ge engine for the celica. I mean the displacement went down in .2 liters. The 1.8 ltr 2zz engine came with vvtl-i to compete with honda's vtec? In the US, the celica only produced a 180 hp and in japan it produced 190 hp. Then there was the trd celica which produced 194 hp. Still that wasnt even enough to touch the Integra type r B18c5 motor which produced 195 hp and had around the same torque as the 7th. So why didnt toyota stick with the 3sge. They could have produced an 2 ltr engine that had around 215 hp with vvt-i on the intake and exhaust manifold just like the 3sge blacktop. -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

update on your blacktop beams swap into the st182???
im looking into gearing options for the s54. Edophus you said something earlier about putting an e56 transmission on an 3sge beams redtop. What are the ratio's for the E56? -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

What are the ratio's for the E56? I would need to dig them out they are in the wiki gen 6 section linked on ccuk, the final drive is slightly shorter than the s54 but there are off the shelf final drives available for the e56 if you want to change them. as for an update havent really got one, its not in storage anymore as i'm in a new house and all of it is here now but its in bits at the moment, i just agreed to buy an st205 from a freind though |
