Beams Red top Vs *MZ-FE, Nope, no 3sgte please. Options

[njccmd2002]

Need your help. 3sgte, I have decided against this. This is not a useless post, swap is a coming!! but dont know what!!



Please Disregard swap cost, dont tell me why it cant be done, or too difficult, i dont care.

If i had 2 celicas, identical same color and everything. One is a V6 and the other one is beams, what do you want. This is not a discussion about cost, or how hard it is to swap.

I have seen HP is about the same, however there are torque differences. What does that entail?

V6 has a little more torque. I read some posts, but i know is what keeps the engine going, like momentum, but in practicality, what is it? , what does that mean to me?

Yes, I dont want hassle with turbo, at least for now, the v6 can be supercharged.

My goal is to push at least 190 hp, thats for now.

I just cant decide, im torn, i need opinions. Beams is gorgeous, but a V6 is magnificent.

ok....let me in.....

lol....

IMO opinion....

beams.. wow cool.... seriously.... but thats all..... unless you want to go full house N/A build....

V6...... has heaps of parts available..... HEAPS... cause there are so many on the road....and therefore parts are made and are cheap.....supply V demand...

V6 with e153 gearbox will be just as easy if not easier to install then a beams..... not much difference....
you still gotta wire it up to ecu and get other stuff like exhaust and power steering stuff done.......

i see the V6 conversion is getting so popular lately and there is a world of choices of engines to put in....
2vzfe, 3vzfe, 1mzfe, 3mzfe. all great motors and have very little difference besides the way they are built, eg all alloy....

the beauty of the 1-3mzfe's is that they have VVTI like the 7th gen celica and the beams 3sge.... so not only do you get the kick from the torque but you get the high ends revs from the cams.........best option IMO.....

i went with the 3vzfe cause i want to boost soon and the 3vzfe being cast steel block, rods, crank, can handle upto 10psi of boost before you need to start messing with internals......

base model 3vzfe's have 180-190 hp..... later models have 200hp..(like mine)......mz series motors have much the same......

free up the intake with a decent filter and add a well made exhaust y-pipe merge and you gain more power, then aftermarket ecu and even more power is un-tamed.....so for sheer potential and the coolest celica around...lol.....

IN MY experience V6 is the only option........for me at least anyhow........
