confusion... 3S-GE vvt-i, dual vvt-i? single vvt-i? Options

[kanazai2001]

hi~ i'm a newbie here... and i'm having a ST model... im apologized 1st if my c2PiGz Q annoying anyone here...

i would like to swap my stock engine with 3S, but i'm kind of confuse regarding the 3S-GE vvt-i thing... i got the bottom info from a japan website:

"DUAL VVT-i which also the control of the exhaust valve is done tempering 4 cylinder sport twin cams which were lifted, in addition to the BEAMS (Breakthrough Engine with A Mechanism System) 3S-GE DUAL VVT-i former inhalation valve, (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) it loads. According to engine rpm and accelerator opening, because the computer optimizes the opening and closing timing of the inhalation and exhalation of air valve continually, inhalation and exhalation of air efficiency improves furthermore over entire area, raises output torque. "

it is the red top 3S-GE vvt-i a DUAL vvt-i?

furthermore i would like to convert my ST to GT4... is GT4 a FULL TIME 4WD or manually selectable or auto engage during wheels slide?

thankz...

You should be more clear... regardless of how "cool" you may think you sound. Good grammar reflects a person's intelligence... and so far... you're a dumba$$... help us out by getting your message clear across... so we won't have to decipher it.

To answer your questions... The redtop has VVTi only on the intake cam. The BEAMS engines however are very rare and very expensive... and you'll most likely pay more for just the BEAMS longblock and manifolds, as you'll pay for an entire 3SGTE front clip. That said... to make the blacktop BEAMS (rwd one) work in a FWD set-up, you'll have to re-route the water lines and alter the intake plenum so the throttle body faces the correct direction. The redtop intake manifold may swap over... but it may not... so you'd have to figure that on your own. These engines are just too rare... so people really don't get to tear them apart and mix-match parts. Trannies should all bolt up the same so long as you use the proper clutch (input shafts on RWD trannies are typically different with those engines). That's the just the mechanical stuff... which is really easy. I have a feeling you have no idea about anything elctrical... which is the hardest part of doing one of these swaps. 90% of the pains-takingly long work is wiring. Whenever people ask about "fitment"... it's obvious they're already in over their heads... cause if they can't figure out the mechanical stuff and they think it's gonna be a problem... then wiring is gonna kill.
