paint the cooler black so it is hard to see.

wow. 3.49seconds 0-100km/h

that is unbelievable.! the 3s-GTE engine has definitely stood the test of time. hard to believe the 3s block is the same block that goes on the old camry's :P

3S-GTE is perhaps the best 4 cylinder engine toyota has to offer. study shown that this engine is infact has more potential than the SR20DET (Nissan 200SX family). Not many 3S-GTE are tuned in oz, but what we can see in US and Japan, they are very very tough. Well, penrith corolla proved it very well.

Next gen Celica will run 2.4 litre turbo engine, 4wd, and 230hp out of the box. I was hoping for 280hp to match Evo and STi....oh crap, this is different topic altogether!

Where did you get the info on the next gen celica?

Yeh. the GTi club Supras in Japan run the 3S-GTE engine with a horizontal mount radiator. There is so much room left over after the engine goes in that they can mount the radiator that way.

mind you, that 600hp 3s-gte corolla would probably drive like a slug in low revs.

the ultimate sleeper and rex-eater :D

There's the 2JZ HKS Drag Toyota Supra in Japan that puts out an est 1103kw! and is good for low sevens. There is also the Jun Supra which retains the 2JZ-GTE block with a Jun stroker kit. max torque is 1078Nm @ 5700rpm!

Both the 3S-GTE and 2JZ engines have massive scope for potential.

[DANZZT231]

well we don't need 600hp for road duty car. What matters is the useable tourqe throughout the rev zone, particularly middle zone. 3S-GTE should be able to deliver that.

I got that celica info from Road&Track's SPEED magazine, not the aus Speed magazine.

Yeh that's for sure.

I was a member of an old Celica forum and our dream was to get the 3s-gte conversion done. some members did. :P
