Hey all, I've owned my '94 Celica ST for about a year now, and my step-sister owned it before before that, and her mom before that... Anyway its been in the family a wile and has almost 200k miles on it.
I'm planing on doing an engine swap with the 3S-GTE sooner or later, but I've been reading about VVT-i on the new toyota engines... and I've seen it put on the older supra 2JZ engines... I was wondering if it can be done to Gen3/Gen4 3S-GTE engine. Also what tranny would you guys sugest? (Its currently an automatic, want to change to a manual...) |

Variable valve timing cam shafts have too much cam overlap and does not work will with forced induction. Do a internet search on cam overlap and you should find something to describe exactly what it is. If you research any engine with variable valve timing (VTEC or VVTi) that is heavily modded and using forced induction, you'll see that that they'll all have had their variable valve timing removed. |
