That engine is so sweet! 197 horsepower from the factory, BEAMS VVT-i, and Toyota reliability make for an excellent engine.

Beams Red engines can push to 200 bhp. 210 bhp make the JDM Altezzas (IS200) 4 cyl with dual VVTi.
Anybody has any idea what the 2003 JDM Caldina with the new 4gen 3SGTE engine makes? Prolly around 280. |
