There okay motors… they came in the 4th generation of 3sge’s…

they are avaible from the following…

Over seas 6th gen celicas 94-99 ST202’s but only the SSII Version  
IS300/Altezza  
94-99 Caldina  
Never in any USDM vehicles ☹

Overall good motor it makes 200hp/165ft lbs… if you get the one from the Altezza you will get dual VVT and not just vvt on the intake side… there really high compression motors for a stick motor 11:1. Unfortunately there is not much aftermarket for these cars as far as internals, there are a few places where you can buy itbs… you can always hook up AEM EMS to it since it is similar electronics to a 3sgte but as far as cams and internals being in the states would be really hard to source yourself.

I honestly do not think it is worth the time or money to swap one of these things into a vehicle. I have not checked in a long time but clips were very expensive the last time I looked.

So what were you looking to put a beams motor into?

Just purchase a ST185 clip. Or you can always put the beams on a E153 transmission. Let me know you can have my spare alltrac tranny I have no use for it.
