2. 3S-GE - This engine is another engine that comes standard in many Celicas, including the sixth generation Celica ST202 and ST203(Which, sadly, aren't available in the US.) It's the same 2.0 liter block as the 3S-GTE, but rather than being turbocharged, this engine is naturally aspirated, resulting in less power and less torque. This engine is an option for people who have a Celica and want to do a swap, but they don't want or are not allowed to have a turbocharged car. Even without the turbocharger, this engine is still powerful though. It puts out 177 horsepower and 142 lbs. ft. of torque in the earlier models, and the later models have BEAMS VVT-i(Identified by red valve covers and intake manifolds), resulting in 197 horsepower and 152 lb. ft. of torque. Some people may think that they can swap this engine into their car and later turbocharge it, but this is not a great idea. The internal components on this engine and the 3S-GTE are drastically different, so to make this engine turbo-ready, it would require the use of internal engine parts to strengthen the engine. If you want a turbocharged engine, it'd be much, much easier and cost-effective to simply drop in a 3S-GTE in the first place. This engine will bolt up to any transmission that comes on a ST202, ST203, ST204, or ST205 with no problems, though the stock tranny may not be up to the task of handling high horsepower levels if you have a USDM GT(ST204) for example.
