euro 3sge engine, T-VIS? Options

[Valo666]

So, since ive blown my motor now...hmmm..3 times. Ive been thinkin of what swaps i can do. So theres BEAMS, but thats like $5000 for the motor and a pain in the arse for wiring, plus different mounting angles, 3sgte but gotta do all the wiring + the piping + axels + all the stuff to get boosted. So im thinkin i might get a euro GT spec 3SGE. They are 2.0L, so its a bit beter on gas, but ive seen some 3SGE's have T-VIS. Do european spec motors have T-VIS?? Also, is the engine mounted the same way that a 5s is/could you use 5s factory mounts. Im guessin trans work too because its essentialy the same block as a 3SGTE. Any one wanna gimme a hand with some of this info?? Also any european 6GCers out there have complete harnesses/ECUS??

A 2nd or 3rd gen 3SGE is a good swap, but it's just as much work as a BEAMS swap.

Here is some info from an older post on the 3rd gen............also, i belive that u can use the 5s/mounts when swapping engines.....the eurospec (3rd gen)also came with ACIS, not TVIS........

doesnt beams sit at a different angle as the 5s though?..i heard its somethin like a 13 degrees. but it should bolt into the 5s mounts right? and tranny should line up right??
