Hi people.
Been looking over the years at the JDM/Euro and USDM NA celicas/mr2s and wondering if anyone has sampled both. The US model is a little watered down using the FE engine but its 2.2 and give pretty good torque figures and the others a fair bit more powerful. Has anyone compared the 2? Also would be interesting to see if you could make a free revving 2.2 but in a GE form. |

Newton meters (Nm) multiplied by 0.738 = Pounds-force feet (lbf ft; lb ft).
Pounds-force feet multiplied by 1.356 = Newton meters. sooooooo (200)x .738 = 146.6 naaaaa idk if thats enough torque for me dude sorry

Im more than happy with my engine. Was just interested to see if anyone made a hybrid. Another guy of the CCUK is making a 7AGE hybrid. |
