Please tell me, what makes the BEAMS such a good motor?

demedeiros · 02-08-2008, 12:49 PM

So I see you guys talking about the beams, I think it makes about 180-190 whp, and is a n/a motor. And it is also very rare. Do the ct26's or the 20b's bolt right up to them? Is that a common setup that people run? Please, I would love to be edumacated on this topic. THanks beams owners.

It's rated at 200 HP, VVTi, direct ignition, stock intake manifold with plenum, velocity stacks and tubular runners, exhaust manifold with tubular runners....

I think the reason it is so great is cause you can get 200hp out of a NA motor. that is just as good as the 91 usdm turbo model, and i bet it would do even better around the track than the turbo. I dont think many ppl turbo the Beams motor do they?

mr220v · 02-08-2008, 03:03 PM

200hp at 6800rpms (not 7-9k like a honda motor). Do you really need an explanation?

Also, they are not rare, and not expensive.

not rare, just in limited quantity in the states.

And no, people don't turbo the beams really. There have been a few, most have resulted in failure. I am going to tackling that project pretty soon.

Beams motors are red in color stock; so they're obviously better.

This unfortunatly is so true its not even funny

now i've got my celica down to about the same weight my corolla which had a 2zz-ge in it really has come alive though, much better to drive than the 2zz, feels like its turbo charged almost the way it pulls, and is a flexible engine that also revs well, broad powerband, I think thats why its such a good motor, theres no hassle with it, its really quite simple compared to older 3s engines.

MANDALAY · 03-03-2008, 04:52 PM

So flexible . Great power for a N/A . Loves to rev and pulls very strong.
Very simple in layout without all the crap plumbing required as previous 3SGE or Turbo.
As a street car engine absolutely wounderful !!!!!!!!
Ild dare say one of the BEST toyota engines made.

I dont have a beams motor but have done intensive research on it and it would say its a good motor because it matches the MR2 perfectly. I think its the best motor overall for the MR2 its light weight, board power band, high reving, N/A everything needed to bring out the full potential and purpose of the MR2. I also like the fact because its N/A you dont have to worry about the turbo spooling up during a turn and getting some severe snap oversteer which because you dont have to worry about that its much safer to push the car to the limits. Hopefully a yr. from now ill have my beams...
