this is going to sound very like, dumb out in the air, but i don't know how to word it. So, are you able to take that vvt-i head (or just whole engine) and set up the same turbo setup as the 3s-gte, except now you have vvt-i?

VVT-i helps create a better torque curve and increases engine response... it doesn't necessarily *add* and/or increase overall horsepower... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

also ther 3s-ge with vvt is going to be a lot more expsensive.. I remember just the engine selling for $2500 .. compared to a 3s-gte clip for around $2000-$2200

Yeah, that's what I thought. I also thought the 98 ss-111 had vvt-i? -------------------- CLOSED on 25 acres! -shop coming soon.... |

I have the 3SGE engine in mine...its supposed to be 179bhp standard.
The VVt-i 3SGE engine has a red top and pushes out 200bhp standard. So, there is a big difference in power! |

the 3s-ge has smaller prots on the intake manifold side due to that can't rev as high as a 3s-gte head! |
