What engine am I??? Options

[WannabeGT4]

Yes sir you have a 3SFE. It should also say 3SFE on the timing belt cover.

So that would mean??? GT or SS-1
Ive uploaded some video on the first page. 0-60 also 0-50.

ST202s were all either SS-I, SS-II, or SS-III

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I thought... The SS-II came with the 3rd gen 3SGE and had an option for the 4th gen 3S-GE a.k.a. Beams. Every SS-III got a Beams 3S-GE. That's been my understanding but I haven't really been able to confirm that.

If all that is correct it'd be safe to assume you have a SS-I

P.S. Does anyone now the production dates of the SS-I, SS-II and SS-III?

LOL, that's faster than the turbo ST that Doggy posted a short time ago. All you have is an intake too. I didn't think those 3sfe's were much to speak of. I could be wrong about that being faster, but it's at least as fast.

After looking im guessing it ither:
2 - FWD - 3S-GE / 3S-FE without AWS (JDM SS-I, SS-II, and SS-III)

3 - FWD - 3S-FE with AWS (European GT / JDM SS-I)

3 MORE questions

1 what does AWS stand for?
2 What does SS stand for?
3 I having a JDM SS better?? like a VTEC is there something i can so to it that on other engines you cant??

thanks for your help guys.

AWS stands for all wheel steering. A very neat little option that I wish I had. It's hasn't ever been popular in the states. They had it on some cars in the 90s, but not as many now.

SS stands for Super Strut, I think. It's the way your suspension is different and better than other Celica's.

For the VTEC thing, you don't have it with the 3sfe. You'll need a 3sge for that. Preferably Beams.

Your engine is a 3SFE, because thats definately not the way the 3SGE of any generation looks. Looks like a 5SFE minus the different heat shield and logo on the intake manifold. So probably an SS-I.

I thought we already figured that out?

Sorry, I didn't totally read the post closely enough. Thats what I get for making a quick response.

SS1 do not have superstrut.

Conclusion:
Yes your engine is a 3sfe
Your car is a SS1
You have a non superstrut suspension
You have around 140bhp
You do not have AWS
Do not compare your models to the one in the US
You should compare it to the SS2 or SS3. Yours is a ss1 which is the slowest among them.
SS2 has superstrut as an option while ss3s all came with them
Goto the CelicaUK forums where you will find topics on your car

soven
'98 SS-I Hatchback

Your car is a SS1
You have a non superstrut suspension

You do not have AWS

So why is it SS?? Anything you can do to make it faster?

[soven]

It is SS because that is how the japs decided to name it. ss1 , ss2, ss3 . Dont compare it to the US versions.

ss1 being the economy model with the 3s-fe engine. To make it faster? Nos, turbo or engine swap . the 3sge (180bhp) found on ss2 and ss3 or the 3sgte found in the st205. There is also the beams engine which came in some ss3 and in mr2s.

There is not much , if any gains to be made on this engine with addon mods like pod filter , exhaust etc. it is still going to be slow.

The head doesn't have anything to do with the .2L displacement difference.
= displacement

lol, i love how easy this equation is too.

pie*radius^2 = Area of a circle(using bore to do this, but since bore is DIAMETER divide by 2^2
then to make it a CYLINDER
Area of Circle * height(stroke)
then to get all the cylinders, that * # of Cylinders.

sorry, that eq just made me laugh.

[WannabeGT4]

LOL that's the first picture I found for the equation of dispalcement. I forgot I could use ^ for exponents and I didn't know how to do superscript so I just used that pic from wikipedia. I think the equation was written that way so that all someone has to do is plug in the numbers and type it in their calculator. Otherwise people might not figure out that you have to divide bore/diameter first before you start the rest of the equation.
