3S-GTE ???? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #2801 12 posts Started by Stipt
Like I posted earlier....I am a total n00b and I was wondering what this kind of engine has for specs and where I could get one.
What do you mean specs? Are you looking for 0-60, 1/4 mile? Cuz it depends on what car ur looking at, the MR2 turbo is going to be different than the AllTrac/GT4. If you want what it is its a 2.0L Inline 4 with forced induction. 2nd Gen producing 200hp USDM, 225 JDM. 3rd Gen is JDM and has 255. U can get them from any japanese engine importer - just look on yahoo.

6th gen is equipped with FWD. With 3S-GTE it'll be AWD.
Toyota focused much on this engine. So you gotta know it's better than their other engines.
This specialized type of small engine size + 4banger is capable pushing 11s and lesser if serious.

My question to you: What is the % you be going for the power? How will you do it? When? long time or no?
uh, a fwd car w/ an engine swap doesn't magically become awd.
Yea i know. You didn't bother explaining how it becomes one.
U dont have to make the car AWD when u put the 3sgte in. And to actually do it takes alot of time/money/know-how. They use the 3s in Supra's because of its capability to produce 700+hp and the fact that its light-weight. An HKS FWD Celica pulled 9secs. on the drag, it was once the "fasted FWD car" i dunno bout now tho.

Thanks a lot guys for the info. I'm sorry I am very new to cars and don't quite know what all the parts are/do. So if I ask a lot of n00b questions...please bear with me >smile.gif> Oh and also....I'm lookin to speed what I make at my job on my car since I am going to college and livin with my parents. I do wanna make the car atleast over 200HP. So far I bought a Greddy Exhaust and a Injen Intake (hopefully to be here on May 1st) After that....I'm not sure what to do. So I was thinking, if this engine is so great...maybe I could try and buy this next and then dump it into my car and trade off my other engine for a few bucks. I have alot of things I need to do to this car, but I bought it with 96k miles on it and interior is perfect condition and the exterior just need a $700 touch up to take all the small dinks and ****. I got it for 5.2k...not too shabby >smile.gif> Thanks for the help again!

if you are looking for 200 hp don't waste your money on bolt-ons. go directly to a turbo or engine swap. anything else ain't gonna get you there.
yup the ghost dog is right.....3s swap time!! >biggrin.gif>

This is becoming painful watching so many of you get swaps >frown.gif>
okay...well once I get my JL audio subs and amp...and possibly a tid bit of cosmetics *doesn't have the prettiest car on the block* then I'll save up for a swap. >smile.gif> Thanks for letting me know about that.
