can any one help me with identifying my engine

i bought my celica 6 months ago with a blown bigend so i went out and bought an import engine and got no details with it [albumimg]183[/albumimg]

 

That to me, looks like a 2.0l 3s-ge.

 

i was fairly sure about that , i just wanted to know if it was any thing special cause i keep hearing about the jdm engine.

 

yer, just a temp till i can buy a propper fuse. gotta get it going again before i have to worry about shorts , but i have some good plans for it. once i get every thing fixed on it, the whole car came to me in a sort of sorry state. my first thing once i sort my current problem out is to get a paint job or new rear struts

 

Yeah, it might be a JDM. Then again, I think rye would know better than me, considering I don't have a 3s-ge. lol

 

JUst looks sane as mine. I think Kiasis is right, we dont have any EGR crap. Only diff between ADM and JDM would be the ECU mapping for diff fuels...

 

he has 150 hp and we dont

 

Convert 103kw to hp....

 

is 140hp I think.... SO a little better than 135, but not up to the 150hp mark of the JDM. However with more agressive timing like the JDM runs, probably would be close

Unless your motor is gutless as like mine!

 

Just timing I would imagine, perhaps a mixture difference? I remember ALman162 trying a JDM ECU on his ADM and losing power slightly, perhaps he wasnt running 98 octane or whatever. Id probably just advance your timing slowly up to whatever the JDM runs, and run it on the best fuel you can get. Along with letting it breath better, keeping everything in tip-top shape etc....

 

Looks like my motor. Tell me something. On the cover that sits over the valley where the spark plugs go, does your motor have a label on it? Every 162 iv seen with a 3SGE has this label on the cover, telling about u have to use platinum spark plugs. Its always in english. Mine has one in Japanese, no english anywhere Think i might have JDM? my motor looks identical to yours...
