Thu, 18 November 2004 11:09 The Beams that RedMad2 MR2 is looking at in CVAP is a half cut, and for $3800 that's a bargin. There is the Red Top BEAMs 200hp, which is a high revving smooth bundle of fun engine, loom, ECU, rear suspension & brakes. It's a friggin bargin! I almost bought it except I dont have the $$$ required for the labour, so I had to let it slide. For you with an existing 1998 3SGE you've already got 180ps & 142lb Torque @ 4200RPM, which is a damn site better than my 91 3SGE with only 152ps & 137lb @ 4800 Mr Beams 3S-GE not only offers you VVTi but 200ps and more torque fun with 152lb @ 6000RPM. You get more revs for your buck. It's be an awesome car for twisties and track days, straight lines though you couldn't argue with the 3S-GTE with 255ps & 225lb @ 4000 RPM. You'd definately notice a difference going up to the beams, but with the $6000 or so it'd cost you by the time you throw labour is, is it worth it. If I had $6000 I'd be doing the conversion today, but I've more to gain(50HP instead of 20) from the beams than you. It'd be cheaper to insure, and as far as I could gather in NSW you probably wouldn't have to get it engineered, as it's the same capacity and family of engine. It's all about personal preference [Updated on: Thu, 18 November 2004 11:11] [Report message to a moderator]
