Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and personally I don't own a Toyota. But several of my friends do so here is where my doubts began. Well I have 2 friends each one with a Toyota Curren (identical) 94/96 (same as Celica) with 5 speed manual and 3S-GE engine. I think that engine in the 6th gen has about 170bhp. My question is: why one of them has a 6000 redline and 6200 rev limiter (it starts to turn red at 6krpms) and the other one has the same tach but at 7000 redline and 7200 rev limiter. The one with 6krpms has till 8rpms in the tach and the other has till 9rpms. I was surprised particulary with the one with 7.2krpms rev limiter because in all of the celicas I saw on the internet them usually had 6200rpms and 5800rpms on MT and AT repectivaly I think...
So before watchin the 7.2krpms rev limiter (and watchin the internet pictures of celicas) I bet my friend that he was lying to me!!! (it was for a Bacardi!!! hehe) so when I saw it i couldn't believe it (and of course it's not turbo). Anyone knows why is this??? I couldn't find any logical answer yet! hope u guys help me... One more thing. The guy with the 7.2 race to a '91 4A-GZE from a stop and lost!!! (Trueno pull him about 2 cars eventhough he started later!) and I saw specs of both and them both had about the same bhp and weight... All of these cars are bone stock btw. Thanks!!!

My point is... Usually 3S-GE starts redline at 6krpms right? or is it usually 7krpms? and its that one of my friends got luckly a 3S-GE because everywhere around I see redline starting at 6krpms. what engine is that in that case? 3S-FE?

Normal 3SGE (3 gen engine) revs till 7500rpm (7.5k limiter kicks in) Redline starts at 7000rpm. Beams - the same. Limiter on the beams is at 7450rpm. If the redline starts at 6K - this means its a 3SFE engine - witch has 135hp and it totaly sucks like 7AFE... -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...
