this is such a long thread..

long live 3S engine

actually, i'm being 'cucuk' by my mechanic to put in 3SGE in my Levin AE101..

he said 2.0L power ma.. hehe

so, i just need to confirm the things i should buy/modify..

the mechanic said need to get the 3SGE & a MR2 gearbox.. also need custom made drive shaft..

any1 can confirm this?

is it recommended? any future problems?

my choice now is :

1. 3SGE (no preference.. pls advice)
2. 4AGE blacktop 6speed

 

[alantjw]

why not using th 3S-GTE?

My advise is NOT to use the MR2 gearbox because it's so troublesome to custom drive shaft when original 3SGE FF gearbox or ST171 Corona gearbox is available.

If you're getting a halfcut, gearbox is attached, so why get a gearbox separately ? Is yr mech talking about 3SGTE ?

The 3SGE to get is the 165 ps from the Celica ST182/3, 180 ps Celica ST202/3 or 200 ps Beams from Celica ST202.

Good luck.

if i were to put Beams from Celica ST202, what should i modify?

any mounting changes? brackets?

i'm sure it's not PnP

You're talking about transplanting the 3S the into a yr Levin body, right ? Mounting are different for the 4A & 3S. As far as I'm concerned, my understanding is that you must NEVER cut away yr original mounting & weld in new ones. What you can do is fabricate an adaptor to mate the mounting of yr car's body to the engine's. That is acceptable to the authorities.

As far as I know, all the 3S mountings are the same. So far I've used 2 models; the 165 ps & now Beams.
