thanks guys for the help.
you're right about that. There is still alot of thinking i have to do about the matter. And again i would like to state that i never ruled out going turbo. i just wanted to see the responses on 3SGE. Thanks for all the responses. This post has been edited by H8DC3lica94: Apr 15, 2004 - 3:11 PM -------------------- Chris Malaqui

ok, an h22 is a bigger engine than a 3sge and a civic hb stripped down weighs, what, 1900lbs? and i am sure that that integra had a good amount of weight reduction, not to mention that the engine that powered it was far from stock a celica with a 3sge in it will weigh around 2600lbs, which is why i said if he wants some sort of interior it costs a lot of money to make an NA 4cylinder push a lot of power. parts for the 3sge are hard to get in the US, let alone performance parts. to make a 3sge powered celica run 12's would take loads of money and a lot of weight reduction. hell 13's would be hard enough -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

You can't compare Toyota n/a motors to Honda n/a motors. VTEC makes a VERY VERY big difference in how the cars can be made fast. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

Street-ability... VTEC can make for a streetable sub 12 second drag car... Toyota motors can't. You can build a 12 second car... but it won't drive on the street, meaning the entire powerband is beyond 5-6k rpms... Kinda kills the point of driving a car when you can only do it after revving it beyond 5000 rpms ehh? -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
