Beams question Options

[Ted95]

hey guys, i was jw is there a difference between red top and black top beams? are they all the same engine with the same specs? is there a certain gen beams thats better then another or is there even different gen beams? lol and would it bult up on a 5s 5speed tranny? im guessing yes

oh alright, see i didnt kno that.. and vvti acts as vtec too doesnt it.. like it will kick in in high range rpms?

nope, vvt-i does not act the same way as vtech. info about V systems

is there a aftermarket header for the retop beams? ive searched on the internet all day and all night and cant seem to find anything.. ive seen some "3sge" motors w headers but not BEAMS..

The only one I've seen available was called a "Phoenix's exhaust manifold" and as far as I know it's quite rare.



3S-GE's come with factory toyota extractors/headers which are very good flow well and dont have much restriction, Expect to gain ~12kw with a well thought out exhaust system, the full benefits come from head work & reprogrammable ecu's

oh and another question, will the celica with the redtop vs the mr2 g-limited that comes with the redtop as well produce the same amount of hp on the dyno.

I would think that the mr2 might produce a few more hp than the celica?

IMO they should have the same, however there are a number of factors which could influnance the results, including the accuracy of the dyno.
