Does anyone know if this is possible or has been done before?
Not saying I want to do it this was just a drunken idea the other night tongue.gif
Would be cool running the dual vvti though, and you can find the heads reasonably cheap here in NZ

Had a quick look but didn't see anything obvious but could be using man eyes haha

Have also heard you can modify 4age itb's to fit the 3sge?

When said about modification I didn't mean the ones made by man. What I said was that it might have modified after being affected by a certain force.

it is possible to put a blacktop head on a redtop. however fitting it into a ST20# celica is another mission, due to

more room required for the vvti camgears, which would go into the strut tower and engine mount
customised the wiring so you can run the ex. vvti
oil drain from the head as the redtop is on an angle the blacktop is straight


there are no gains from swapping the cams over as they are apparently the same size which are IN. 226@ .50"/1mm, EX. 222 @ .50"/1mm

its not a very cost effective move, best to look into a stand alone ecu + tuning, but even then your looking at the range of 3-5,000 NZD most likely.

There is an auusie guy Glenn Booth who makes itbs for the beams, but I think your looking at around the 3,000NZD mark?
