And most 3sge's are from front wheel drive cars, so you need new or x over manifolds, new headers probably a sump as well.
the 3sgte is better on paper, than a sr20 but only marginally, its not enough to say that they have plenty more power.
I have fitted a front wheel drive 3sge into an rn46
sump from a 2s powered st141 corona bolts straight on
all i had to do was weld a rightangle on the water outlet and on the throttle body which then lined straight up to the air cleaner for the 18r
inlet manifold fits no worries with a 2 inch body lift just made a set of extractors
and just so you know i am not talking about the pathetic 3sge out of the auzi elivered celicas with 100kw i am talking about the late model ones
i paid 700 bucks with loom and computer because every one says they are too hard to fit to anything I dont get it:?
the key as i said with the rn 46 is its light weight it is a good 250 kg lighter than the later luxes thats why an na 3sge works well you do not need the low rev torque of the 3rz to push it along but instead at 5000 rpm you get a kick in the pants as it gets into song just when the 3rz is dying in the arse
power na 3sge 137 kW@7000 rpm torque 192 Nm@4800 rpm
power 3rz 112 kW at 4800 RPM torque 240 N·m torque
power is the rate at which torque is apllied from a stand still start or on the hiway the 3 s walks away from the 3rz with 25 extra kw
i am talking a rn 46 4x4 vrs a 4x2 3rz which makes the case even stronger
the diference off road is as well that you can go a third faster in any gear than a 3rz if in mud this is great with all that extra rpm range
ok turbo
not many people have had a ride in an st205 celica they are a weapon
with a sub 13 sec quarter mile time bog stock they are not even in the same league as the old st185 withits mid 15 sec quarter or a silvia
i own an st205 grp A and thought yeah right 13 sec quarter but first time out 13.9 very first run this is with the stock 2 inch exhaust restrictive intake the whole deal std boost every thing stk
st205 3sgte 188 kW @6000 torque 304 Nm @4000 rpm
sr20det S14 (146 kW) unless you can find a variable valve timing model with 166 kW and 270 Nm these are not the ones you have around very often most are s13 or s14 ones
the head design on the 3sgte is streets ahead of the sr20
the 3sgte also has a cast iron block (better for big HP)
then there is the late model 3sgte (which i have waiting for a project)191 kW @6200 rpm torque 324 Nm @4400 rpm from the caldina
any way I run a 2jz now which is in a new league but the old 3sge could eat 3rzs when both trucks empty but put a ton in the back and they were much the same
it does not matter the less people that use these engines keeps demand down keeping them cheap for me
