The "F" = fuel economic twincam (as in 1G-FE).
The "G" = performance twincam (as in 1G-GE).

The 1G-FE is average when talking about the other engines in here.


Except that it makes the same amount of power as the 1G-GE and (from memory) has a better torque curve...
Remember, it does have VVT-i.

As for the 3S-GTE question, it's not mentioned because of the difficulty of the conversion. You want something easy and a 3S-GTE conversion is certainly not!
If you want to know more about it, do a search for "3s rwd" or something like that.

The BEAMS II 3S-GE is already RWD though. The problem is that for the price of the front cut (~$6k), you could almost do a custom turbo for the 1G-FE.
The turbo 1G-FE will make more power and torque and will be more fuel efficient.
It'll be heavier than the 3S-GE though and will not be as fun to cane (N/A goodness and that 8000rpm redline).

If you were gonna race the IS200, I'd suggest spending the extra money and getting the BEAMS II, but for street use, you can't go past the turbo.

Oh, and yeah, it was TRD328's former car that I was talking about.
