#3SGE
Drop a 3S-GE into your Toyota Corolla.
The 3S-GE was a perfect squared 2.0L(1,998) aluminum/iron block
piston motor. It was a high performance DOHC i4 motor from Toyota’s S power
train. There were 5 generations of this motor. Updated
versions featured a newer mechanism called BEAMS. BEAMS was an acronym which
stood for Breakthrough Engine with Advanced Mechanism System. Updated versions
also had other minor tweaks done to them as well. The engines were produced
from 1984-2005. The bores of the engines were 86 mm and their strokes were 86
mm. Power were rated from 130-210hp with up to 162ft•lbs of torque at a given
rpm. Higher power ratings depended on the generation of that motor. The 3S-GE

Unfortunately some of these motors are not a true drop in. All the electronics/ECU are different. Some motors such as the newer versions of the 3S-GE BEAMS, are very challenging. All the proper equipment from the donated car including a suitable or modified transmission is needed for a successful swap. These swaps requires a lot of customization including customed motor mounts, suspension, custumed high proformance axles, shifter, fuel system, cooling system, A/C/power steering, intake/exhaust, suspension/brakes, and tires.
Once again aftermarket is large for these motors. These motors can also be rebuilt to handle force induction as well. Turbo or supercharged applications may require upgraded injectors, upgraded ECU, a blot on or customed built manfold, fuel pump, and boost controller. Rotrex has a C Series supercharger that can run with these motors. Every motor and transmission has a weakness. It is very important to address your motor and transmission for weaknesses before modifying them.
Many customed or blot on parts can be found via importperformanceparts, monkeywrenchracing, turbokits, ptuning, DDperformance, Greddy, HKS Superchargers, driveshaftshop, gatorracingaxles, Boefab, car-part, Votech Superchargers, Rotrex, Tork Motorsports, r9ktune, or maxpeedrods. Prices can always be compared for the likings.
