F20C or Beams?

[Dimitri]

beams by a mile.

the best combo is an auto 3 engine.

aftermarket clutch/flywheel combo

and an sa63/ 3y engined van bell housing to w58 ect gearbox.

the 3s has similar power/weight/power potential. a nice sump which if youre smart requires 0 x member mods (apart from engine brackets if thats the way you do it)

auto engine cos theyre cheaper, and the standard manual flywheel is dual mass and horrible anyway.

changing to the 5 speed makes fitting the engine WAY WAY easier than the 6 speed, and miles easier than the ridiculous f20 box.

the taper of the bell is much sharper, meaning you can push the engine further back, giving you more height for adequate sump clearance, and the power handling is similar.

here in australia the f20s are about double the price of beams engines. which always leaves me scrathcing my head when i see so many f20 swap overseas. though i guess in the u.s f20s are probably comparatively cheaper as im sure there were alot of s2000s sold in the u.s (they love their hondas)

still as far as fitting goes, theyre alot easier.

the plenum though, is huge, if you reduce it in size, you can fit the brake master cylinder in, with no booster. changing to quads though would mean no issue there at all. that or pedal box.

on a rhd car, my boss used factory headers and secondaries.

this thread, the guy who bought the package. "dr1ft-pig"

theres also another guy on another aussie toyota forum called toymods, screen name is "celica RA45" or something. he has a club sprint car, and has made over 300hp, NA..

plus a bunch of improved production corollas running them (with the gearbox set up i described, as theyre not allowed to cut the firewall/tunnel)
