so ive got a few questions

where should i start my search for a beams engine?(ive found one on rpm garage just trying to find more then just one option)
what are the most common issues?
are parts available in the u.s.?
are they reliable compared to the regular n/a motor?
ive found that theres a diffrence between the red top and grey top but i could never find anything as to what was the difference.
could i use the transmission from my 5sfe or a 3sgte or can you only use that transmission.

if your going to go on a search button rant please dont even post. im only looking for information about the beams motor not how to use the search button.

It's been a while since I last made a post.....
What's the deal about condensers on the BEAMS engine? Do we have any at all? Do we use any at all? Do need to have them at all?

I have one laying here around my garage and can't recall if it came from the 5S-FE engine days or if I should reinstall it somewhere?


You guys have any insights on these things & what to do with them? I suppose they are there to stabilize or clean up the electrical interference/fuzz or radio fuzz from high current spark/coil systems, am I correct about that? ]]> BEAMS puretone http://www.mr2.com/forums/beams/Toyota-MR2-47079-beams-condenser.html http://www.mr2.com/forums/beams/Toyota-MR2-47072-camry-solara-intake-oem.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:35:37 GMT well, i guess trial and error costs some. 28 bucks to find out that it does not fit the stock. it is maybe 1 mm less than the stock from the inside and does not fit my rubber hose snuggly. what a shame... is that the way it fits with the aftermarket pipe from the solara, cuz it shoudl be same diamater Image: http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh102/njccmd2002/beams%20wiring/IMG_6076.jpg nevermind the ruler i did not have another one aprox 67 mm Image: http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh102/njccmd2002/beams%20wiring/IMG_6079.jpg here it mounts the maf perfect...

Is there any wiring issues?

just stuff similar, that would be a pain to mess with.
I looked at the wiring diagrams and doesn't look like to much of a pain, but easier said then done right?

Its relevant for both the Celica and MR2, as they both use the same flange, length of 2-1 section and angle. After the flex piece though its complete differently for the Celica and MR2.

Pipes to cross the list that are similar but dont work:
Fujitsubo Super EX for 2nd gen 3SGE SW20 ver. I had this imported with hopes I could use the B pipe and rear piece. Simply put flange is completely off and the pipes are too close in the V config, the BEAMS uses a wide V angle. (When I use V, I mean 2-1 section.) Inner Diameter is correct for the BEAMS pipe though, and the right length and angle to clear the oil pan. (If you have a gen 2 3SGE in your MR2, this will be for sale, not cheap though.)



On the US ebay there is an aftermarket header for the Celica 7AFE that uses a 4-2-1 setup as well. Ordered it and its the same story too narrow of an angle. Also the B pipe doesnt go low enough to clear the oil pan. If you have a 7AFE celica, Ill give the header and B pipe, just PM me, it didnt cost me much and the quality is okay. (But Im picky, not as much as Angelo but close.)



20V 4AGE uses a OEM 4-2-1 setup as well but again too narrow of an angle in the 2-1 section. Flange is off as well, I dont know if it will clear the oil pan as I didnt test this. Aaron makes a B pipe to fit the 20v in the AW11, I need to get him some specs and chat a little bit and possibly making one for the BEAMS in the SW20.



Almost gave up the search and contemplated getting a custom one made, but not really any good fabricators around here. I really wish I knew how to weld as I could make this quite easily. Then I got a second wind and scoured the Toyota catalog to find a matching piece. When finally everything came together!!! And from a fellow family member too!!!

The MR-S or MR2 Spyder uses a 4-2-1 section as well on the 1ZZ! After some looking around on SpyderChat I found a local guy selling a OEM downpipe. After some chatting I picked it up today for $100 a little over priced but I just wanted it now. :rofl: As you tell in the pics it will need some modification to fit but thats not a problem for me.



After Modification:

Obviously the cat had to go as the angle is all wrong






Issue! The flange is off SOB! :soapbox: but that doesn't stop me! :lol: It isnt that big of an issue, flanges are easy to make even for the folk around here. :rolleyes: But the important part is that the angle is right and the inner diameter is the same. It also clears the oil pan!! :D
