hmmm..this would be interesting... Options

any one besides me think it would be cool to do a turbo beams?? cuz i mean, the parts would fit right up, u have the added feature of the beams head. Any one done this/thought about duin it?? I think it would be killer.

[dustin15brown]

Im sure it's been done, it's just a 3sge, but why turbo a special BEAMS when you coulda bought a 3sgte in the first place that is more reliable with a turbo

[Junior]

A turbo beams wouldn't be better then a 3sgte. The main difference in the head are the cams. Beams cams have too much overlap to be effective with a turbo application. Probably would run a lot slower than a 3sgte.

no offense to anyone, but reading about the same thing that's been discussed already over and over - is getting kinda boring

which makes me understand why some of us on here - keep implying to use the search feature

[dustin15brown]

also to no offense to anyone, but I know that and I've been a member for a few years, I've seen it... In the past four months, it's not been over asked. Settle down Search is great, but how would you search for this topic, do it and post the links that show these topics please

[Valo666]

yea...i mean ive been on here for a lil while my self, and since i heard of the beams motor, and how its the same block(essential) as the 3sgte, i was curious about it. and frankly i dont wanna search through every post made with the words "Beams", or "turbo" in it. So my applogies for not searching for it. but i guess if u do have a link to another thread on this, please post it.

This is for those that keep sayin to use the Search Button...

EVERYTHING on our Celicas have been covered...so i guess theres no point to this forum anymore.

[celicarus]

i wasn't trying to be mean - but some times one can add that "yes i have searched " or "although this has been covered before" but i still want more information or opinions would make some like my self know that you are really interested and have done the home work

below are links to past posts

These topics have been discussed in many post, but searching for it will take some time because some of the post topic started isn't about the beams but seems to lead into the beams and info on turboing it.

There i've done the search and thats what I found - I'm sure if i wasn't tired - i would find more. Didn't mean to offend anyone.

Some people wonder if the 3S-GE engine will be the same as the 3S-GTE if you add a turbo to it. It will not be the same. The 3S-GE engine with VVT-i has a compression ratio of 11.0:1 and the 3S-GE without VVT-i has a compression ratio of 10.3:1, while the 3S-GTE engine has a compression ratio of 8.5:1. So to add a turbo to the 3S-GE, you would need to lower the compression through the use of internal engine parts. Below are the specifications for these engines.


Don't get me wrong - I love this forum and enjoy reading every one's comments even negative ones - thats what makes this forum interesting - unlike other car communities I feel that the 6gc is more like a family - because each thread i read - i learn more about every one's personality by the way they write on here

Bla,bla,bla here it comes http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...6lr%3D%26sa%3DG

Don't tell me they powdercoated valve cover, its so Beams

[WannabeGT4]

EDIT: That does look like a Beams spark plug wire cover but that doesn't mean much. I'd like to hear it straight from HKS that it is a Beams engine and not a 503e. But now that I look at it more closely I'm not so sure anymore.
