v6 is nothing like a beams, so comparing the 2 powerbands is kinda silly IMO.
the beams motor is ment to rev, the exact opposite of the v6.
besides the fact that the beams bolts right in, wiring is super simple, and dont require any extra fabrication (other than exahust)
i cant see the big advantage of the v6.
it totally fills the engine bay, not much room for anything else in there once the motors in, lots of custom fabrication required, and it only makes ~200hp?
i dont see the point.
before i did a v6 swap, i'd just build a quick turbo kit for the 5s, and make 60-70 more whp than any v6 that goes into a celica (other than the 2gr) will make.
besides, once the v6 is in, then what? it makes 200hp...thats maybe 160-170whp on a good day. i dont know about you, but i got bored with 195whp after a couple months when i turboed my 5s years ago, but i was able to turn up the boost and make it fun again.
what are ya gonna do with a v6?
everything from that point is gonna be totally custom, unless you have someone make it for you, and that turns into big $ real quick.
im sorry guys, i just dont see the big upside of a v6 swap, unless its the 2gr, which hasnt been done in a fwd celica yet.

and dont tell me its cheaper.
yea, it may be cheaper initially, but once you rebuild that junkyard motor your gonna get, and get into all the custom crap, your just about the same as a beams setup or turbo setup
