theres a local shop near me, and they say they have a 6th gen celica GETS JDM engine with 180 hp stock...
i cant think of what engine this would be? it wouldnt be the 3sgte, or a 5sfe, unless the jdm ones are different than the us ones? hmm ima go check it out sometime this week and when i find out what it is ill post it. they have em for sale for 950. anyone know what it could be?

Yeah, it doesn't sound like the Beams. It sounds the 3S-GE in the SSI or SSII.

I'd go with the Silver Top 4age if I had an ST. 3sge is good too, but it's simpler to do 4age.

That's cheap,
but what's the cost of fitting it to a US car?
how different is your 5F from the 3S?

Installed myself. You'll notice a lot more top end pull compared to the 5S. Low end torque is about the same. I've installed low-comp pistons to run a turbo, but even with the turbo disconnected I'm rather impressed.

Installation is very similar to the 3SGTE - slightly easier in my opinion.
