I'm finding that I'm being forced to use this far too often. Some people should just die.

 

If you want n/a power and either have a ton of money or want to deal with a BITCH of a swap, BEAMS 3sge is without a doubt the way to go.
However, that gets incredibly expensive and difficult, so gen 3 3sgte is a great way to make some extra power on a budget. I'm actually planning on picking up that gen 3 and LSD kit from EMSpowered for myself as soon as i get the dough...

 

i think the problem is most people that reccomend beams and 3rd gen swaps have never had one, or driven one atleast.

ive been around mr2's for a a decade, ive swapped them, raced them, countless hours of working on them.

if you want NA power run a 3vz, its honestly a better and significantly cheaper swap. and dont you dare say otherwise unless youve had a chance to drive both.

honestly, i just dont see the advantage of a 3rd gen swap unless your dead set on leaving whatever you put in the car BONE STOCK.

we ran mid 12's and layed down nearly 300 wheel with a 2nd gen with absolutly nothing but a bolt on td06-20g kit.

i mean even stock manifold... just an adapter on the stock manifold, lines, the turbo, downpipe, 3"exhaust... thats it. went 12's on the 205 width 14" stock wheels. no tuning, stock turbo fuel pump, stock 440's

now, a stock 3rd gen motor will do nearly 300wheel stock... with a standalone.. lol but now your 5000 dollars into your swap

 

I'm gonna have to call Bull shit on that. There's no way a stock 2nd gen will put down 300whp stock, even with a standalone. But I will agree that a 3vz is better/more cost effective than BEAMS. The hardest part of a BEAMS swap is probably just sourcing down all of the parts.

 

sorry that was suposed to say 3rg gen

 

That's kind of pushing it... but eh. All this time that I've seen you in Nissan tech, I never would have guessed you were such a Toyota freak lol

 

my buddy mina's car did 301 wheel on the ceramic ct26 (i refuse to call it by its wrong name, the ct20b) sds standalone. 3rd gen, it also ate it a few months later.


i just dont think the high compression is worth it.

think about it man, my s13 has a 1jz

 

This thread is cute

there are so many variables to engines choices that it's all about preference and the direction you want to take it

if you have the money just go gen3 GTE and never look back and no they aren't $5k to swap, people make it seem that way cause they want to replace everything with go-fast parts

 

well what exactly is the advantage of 3rd gen unless your keeping it completely stock... dollar for dollar the 2nd gen motor will be faster
