Just so that you know, the BEAMS 3S-GE found in late model ST202 Celicas doesn't have VVTL-i. It just has VVT-i.

Out of curiousity, are you replacing your 3sgte? If so, why?

The 98-99 Celica 3S-GE "BEAMS" engine with VVT-i is one of the most amazing engine in the world.
I had also bidded the last auction in Ebay, but finally, I lost................ |

You need to do a bit more than simply disconnecting the front drive to make the AWD celica a RWD drift car. The GT4 drivetrain focuses more power to the front wheels, so there will be a big huge loss in the tranny unless you can re-gear completely to focus directly to the rear wheels. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...

ahh...wrong...its 50/50...give or take a few percent. Dynoed both my friends and mine on an AWD dynoyet and it can measure output on fron wheels and rear wheels. Its a true 50/50 split. |

is it? I'm surprised. With a typical transverse AWD set-up, it almost ALWAYS transfer more power to the front than the rear. something like 60/40 or even less to the rear. Either way... there will still be a huge drivetrain loss unless you completely re-gear... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

Windstar in Irwindale, CA. 626-812-6200 I saw it w/ my own eyes. I think it still had the tranny hooked up too and the harness. The only kinda bad thing is that it was about 3 weeks ago. He hadnt tolld anyone yet. But call and find out. David |
