I have seen a dyno of a 4th gen 3s (caldina)making 400whp on stock internals.However with these things you never know how long these engines last for.My question from either personal experiemce or other persons experience .Whats the most power made on a stock bottom half 4 gen to be driven around daily without breaking
I have a 4th gen and changed the pistons cause orginals cracked but didnt have the extra cash to buy forged rods.So i got some JE pistons but the 4th gen rods look so much smaller than the older mr2 and celica rods that with my new build i am deciding to build it to around 350whp and leave it there cause the rods got me nervous |

Like you said, you saw one make 400hp on the dyno, on the other hand you have one with a blown piston that was probably making less then 400hp. It all reallly depends on your tuning. Invest the money there, and your setup should last a while.

I hear u and agree with you on the tuning which im gonna do with thenew setup but still wanted to have an idea of where to draw the brakes but then again its too late my turbo is probably only good for around 370whp so lets @pit I hear u but when looking at the rods side by side the 4th gen do look a little less beefier but hey its a toyota engine and a 3s so i wont worry 2much ill jus try to tune safely and not get too wild Any other info out there on the limits of the 4th gen |
