I saw the ad on ebay, and was wondering if you more knowledgeable guys can give me a history lesson. I know its a jdm motor that puts out 210 hp. Anybody in the states have one? Was the difference against the 5? Will it past smog? What beam mean? Will the c26 bolt up to its manifold? Has anyone turboed it?
thanks ahead guys

The red top BEAMS 3S-GE like the one on eBay does not put out 210 horsepower, but rather, 197 horsepower. Outsider is doing the swap. I wouldn't buy the motor to turbo it...it doesn't make sense to spend that much money on an engine just to tear it apart(you'd definitely want a lower compression ratio) and rebuild it to handle boost.
