1GGTE Vs 3SGTE

[RAd28]

raceflo - well that pretty much sums up why a 1G is a simpler choice for the celica... all i had to do was get some 1GGE mounts, the rest just fell together, no worries with manifolds, plenums, least of all not distributors... might be a worthwhile consideration further down the track though... 1G will do for now

as for hp, from the latest OST dyno day hamgatan's 3s was almost = in power to my 1g

Thats cos your engine is homo.

You can use the 3S in RWD config using the factory ECU without doing firewall mods. You remove the dizy cap and rotor, get some ze coils, a second 3s igniter and a DLI converter. Adds about $250 to the cost of the conversion.

Thanks for the info Cool1 I was not aware of that, that is the beauty of these forums, sharing info and experiance.

Cheers

Has anyone written a tech article on how to do this? something like witzl 4AGE RWD conversion article

the real food for thought about this is you have a gen2 1g-gte and hamgatan has a series3 3s-ge

You are all forgetting... the sound of a straight 6 will always win

[RAd28]

i'm thinking the benefit of the 1G for a twin turbo setup.. something like twin GT25's oughta keep response nice and quick, and keep a decent top end too...

can't argue with the straight 6 sounding tops

[skiddz]

mmm the 1 g sounds good but the falcon straight 6's sound like farts goin down the road, i think the 3s would be better for a track car/ daily, you dont really want to be driving somthing that handles like a bucket, 1g would be a cheaper conversion

didnt the 3sge beams come in rwd in those lexus's? i know its NA but im sure it could be forced with a minimal effort

[RAd28]

acctually... i have to defend the falcon 6... in stock form they sound like farts... but once you get rid of that fan noise, and put on a decent exhaust... they sound... well.. acceptable..

[skiddz]

no it just makes the fart louder nah they sound alright, but the new question is now do ya have a ta23 crossmember? cos they are rare as rocking horse shit

[RAd28]

TA23 xmember? what's that for???

[RAd28]

HAHAHAHA... TA23 Xmember.. >Look no further<

11:1 compression, VVTi, drive-by-wire throttle... I think the effort required to get a reasonable amount of boost into one of those would be a little more than "minimal".
