I was surfing and came across a Lexus IS300 3SGE Beams engine So I did some searching and found a website with a bit of info
I'd like to see one of these in a 162, the altezza's must be quicker than our IS though since the motor is a heck of a lot lighter than the 2j
Yeah the first thing I thought of when I seen it was if I had the time it would look real nice in my 85 supra and I'd get the added bonus of a much newer 6 speed tranny. The old supra 6 cylinder engine was rated at 170 hp and this 4 cylinder Beams engine is rated at 210 hp. Amazing a 40 hp gain 2 less cylinders and a big weight savings.

HAHAH there is so much conflicting info out there. its funny. thats cool though. if you could put that motor in there. do you visit the celicasupra.com forums? i used to but not so much anymore since the cressi is gone. those guys are cool over there~
