  • @carsond2674
    @carsond2674 5 років тому +46

    For me, there's no real reason to go K series for 90% of builds. Both engines make similar horsepower with similar mods. Once you get to the 600+ hp level it's essentially a pissing contest over which one does it better. One thing though is that the 3s tends to have more torque lower in the RPM range than the K series.

    • @negativeindustrial

      Setting aside the fact that I’m a Toyota purist, the lack of torque on Honda engines is the major reason I advocate for a 3S over Kseries.

      The guy who made the video ask that we compare them. All I said was I prefer to keep a Toyota engine in my Toyotas. I also said I prefer my engine to produce more torque. I’ve always owned at least one Gen2 3S - usually a rally homologation RC with a steel WRC spec turbo turned up to 20 PSI or more and I’m happy. Going fast in a straight line isn’t my thing. We take our turbo Celicas and MR2s to the canyons in central Texas and race them on the one lane hwys there with a cliff face on one side and steep drop off on the other at speeds between 75-140mph.
      That combination of adrenaline and fear is like my version of heaven. For that I don’t need 800whp. And the K-series has nothing on a 3S-GTE for the sound they make.
      I’m glad you prefer the K-series. I truly hope you enjoy it 😉

    • @negativeindustrial
      @negativeindustrial 5 років тому +10

      Sergio Aguirre
      In this comparison, you’re adding a large turbo and all the supporting mods and a full set of bolt-ons to the normally aspirated K-series engine and then comparing it to what? A stock USDM 2nd Gen 3S-GTE? I assume you’re aware there are 5 generations of the 3S-GTE and several WRC Homologation models as well as the engines used for JGTC?
      Furthermore, TRD has an entire catalog of engine components for the various generations of the engines. HKS has made a full line of cams, MHG, etc etc. there are ECU tuning packages that have been available from all of the major Japanese tuner houses for decades that are directly plug and play and allow for huge HP AND, more importantly, matching torque gains.
      Were you aware that a 3rd (out of 5) generation 3S-GTE has been proven to make 340WHP )and matching torque - no drop off) with only an intake exhaust and a boost controller? That’s before you take into account the massively upgraded WRC version that added water/methanol injection, anti-lag and a massive W2A intercooler with an integrated heat exchanger spray bar - FROM THE FACTORY!
      And let’s not forget about the transmission options!
      So are we talking about a stock for stock comparison (In which case why are we even talking about the K20 at all?) or are we talking about starting with the best 3S-GTE has to offer (Which was available in the MR2) and then factoring in the incredible aftermarket both engines enjoy?
      It seems to me you want to compare the worst 3S to a highly modified K20 and call the fight. That’s not how this works. I’ve got friends overseas that have been running 800whp GT4’s for nearly two decades now on unopened blocks and transmissions. You’d be surprised.
      BTW I’m not trying to say the K20 isn’t one of the true Japanese works of automotive art. The thing is crazy impressive. But so is the 3S. Many people consider it the 4cyl 2JZ. Top Secret and TOM’s both removed the 2JZ-GTE out of a couple of MKIV Supras and replaced them with 3S’s because they wanted to get serious about balancing for racing and they knew they could deliver the HP.

    Hey your name is Ryan, isn’t it? Can I ask you a question? What brand/ material/heat range and gap are the spark plugs you run on both the MR2 and the Supra?
    The reason I ask is, I recently was having issues with the MR2T I have been restoring this year. I’ve gotten the engine/drivetrain basically 95% restored and running right (Aside from a slight oil pan leak I’m currently ignoring) so I’ve installed a full GReddy Intercooler, hot and cold pipes, blow off valve and full exhaust. Everything is authentic GReddy/Trust brand except I’m running an Aussie Downpipe mated to the large GReddy dual 3.5” exhaust and an APEX’i Power Intake. So I turned up the boost to a safe 17PSI, defeated the VSV and installed an HKS FCD but right at 12.5PSI (Or even as low as 8PSI on a very cold day) I was getting breakup at anything more than 50% throttle position. Man, I went through EVERYTHING replacing all of the vacuum lines and IC/Intake Couplers, checked the fuel pump - I mean EVERYTHING. Still couldn’t get rid of it. My buddies all thought it was knock or fuel cut but something kept telling me it was spark so I replaced the brand new NGK Iridium Spark Plugs (stock .032 gap) I had just put in a month ago with a super cheap set of regular old NGK Coppers but I tapped them down to the same .028 gap I run on my ST-205 swapped 1994 Turbo Celica and it totally went away! It starts easier, runs way smoother and I can now make 8PSI+ with only 2500rpm at 30% throttle (Or even less throttle on cold days)! I knew of this problem from when I ran into it back when I was canyon racing with the Celica but it didn’t start occurring until I passed the 21PSI threshold (It’s been at 25PSI on a fully built 3S-GTE engine for a decade with no issues). Have you run into this with either of your cars?
    Sorry to have written this novel-length comment but I wanted to include the full details because I don’t really know anyone with these cars and experience and MR2oc is a ghost town these days. Thanks in advance for any info you can share with me.

Fresh motors to begin with, but on none of the motors I'm referencing did they end in catastrophe. Maybe 35-40k miles in. You will feel them get "tired" down maybe 30hp at 60k miles you might be down 50-60hp and yeah, they could and should be rebuilt by then, but they won't just let go. I'm older now and more financially stable, so I build the bottom end on anything I'm going to swap, but pushing 40 years old now, you'll likely run into me driving something k swapped and turbo charged.

      A lot of people were unfamiliar with the BEAMs (Breakthrough Engine Advanced Mechanism system) engines for decades after I was first attracted to that gorgeous Red cover on the single VVT-i early version that came in the Celica SS-III and the MR2 G-Limited (Japan only). But I’m a mechanical engineer so I’m used to doing tons of research on everything. It’s possible our boy here doesn’t know about them yet?
      The one to have is the black (or grey if you prefer) top version from, specifically the manual, IS200 or Altezza as it’s known in Japan and all other countries outside of the US that didn’t have the Lexus branded cars back in the 1990’s. The manual version is setup for longitudinal mounting, coil on plug distributor-less ignition and VVT-i on both the intake and exhaust cams, unlike the earlier “Red Top” version. It makes 210hp naturally aspirated but it’s just begging to have the combination exhaust manifold/CT-15 Turbocharger from the contemporary 4th Generation 3S-GTE installed on it along with the W2A intercooler setup from the ST-205 WRC! In fact, I know this is going to sound sacrilegious, but his Supra would be greatly improved if it ran that setup as it transforms the MKIV Supra into a true front mid-engine car and imparts a 50/50 weight balance onto it. Since it’s easily possible to boost it up to 400whp or more it wouldn’t exactly be lacking in power. You would simply need to use the manual 6spd transmission from the Altezza/IS200 and re-pin the existing MKIV body harness to accept the 3S-GE’s engine harness. I considered doing this very thing back when I was sourcing the RC 3S-GTE that I swapped into my 1994 Celica Turbo back in the day but the engines were only a year or two old so weren’t available yet from the JDM engine importers of the early 2000’s.
      Maybe if the standard 2nd gen 3S-GTE on my MR2T gives up the ghost, I will finally get one for myself.

      I actually got that backwards, the 3S-GE really WAS out two years before the turbo series but it was in 1984. I was thinking the two years started in 1986 with transverse Celicas and the turbo followed two years later like it did outside of Japan. I actually had an ‘86 GTS that I later swapped with a junkyard 2nd gen 3S-GTE after I blew the original 3S-GE in ~1995.
      I was talking about for an FR car. The Red Top is close enough and already available in the MR2 and Celica so not worth all of that for 10hp.
      Thanks for all of that info, however, much of it is new info for me and I’m a 3S superfan (Although my favorite version is the 1993 2nd Gen RC 3S-GTE. I’m just a HUGE fan of T-VIS)
      You can easily adapt the exhaust manifold by swapping out the flange. Just need a band saw, dremil and a welding rig. No problems. With hours of proper dyno tuning you can turbo the BEAMs to 400hp. If you’re saying the rods are THAT weak then they can be replaced. I was reading something in the ECU section of the ATS website today about that very subject.
      3S into a Supra has already been done many times BTW. With great results too. If we’re fixated on the blacktop specifically, then I say if it fits the Altezza there should be no reason it can’t fit a MKIV. It’s been done in many 1st Gen Celicas, older RWD Corollas etc.

    Definitely, I'm in the UK with a rev1 tin top G, (yes I said tin top 😎), she has a 3rd gen (tubby) in her and I'm due a rebuild and I'm really considering a K swap due to the parts/support/buildability/availability ect, I love my 3s but it's just cheaper and safer to build a K and replace blocks ect if it goes!
    Yea real tough decision tbh, after all that I'm looking at home ccs (epoxy) a 2gr maybe? I want vvti on the exhaust you see, man these decisions are hard I appreciate your input!!

    • @EZ-D-FIANT
      @EZ-D-FIANT 3 роки тому +1

      I also have a Saab 9k with a B234 in it, another super rare desirable but unsupported motor these days, I could K both and be so much better off!
      But I also own two of the most desirable rare motors fitted to two rare desirable shells, to throw a typical K seems so lazy and kinda nieve, I'm full T7 trionic on my Saab, it's special but so fucking expensive, a K would be cheap and parts (if I K the duece) swappable!
      Fucking K seriously messed with my plans GRRRR....

    • @EZ-D-FIANT
      @EZ-D-FIANT 3 роки тому

      Another thing I wanna add, Incase anyone wants to offer their two cents, my duece was a G-ltd, so it's a tubby conversion, and I have a fully custom widebody and Celica lights with full aero (all CFD custom, I've got 8 years in the body of this car, yes I built her myself and yes I have a Channel) so maintaining originality just isn't an option any more, shame as she's a JDM tin top and could be super valuable but she could never be matching numbers so.... Besides I've cut sills out for rear brake ducts and totally changed the buttress and rad-under car relief layout for flat under with tunnels! I want what will perform best, so yea K is really stressing my decisions, can ya tell 🤣
      Great video buddy btw 👍👌👍

    I have a gen4 3sgte in my MR2 but the K series is far superior to the 3S. Just look at how much power they make on boost, that alone tells you they're more efficient. Then look at how crack prone the 3S block is starting at about 400hp. If you want a reliable 400+hp 3S you really have to start with a 5S block and now you're going down the road of a fully built engine. With the K series you can do it on a stock unopened engine.

      @@negativeindustrial it was on the Mr2 club community site, one of the members had it translated had several hp variants. Club Lexus also has specs on it. The head is kinda weird though if you look at it. Looks like they integrated the exhaust manifold into the head. Also its port and direct injection not sure on how well the aftermarket will pick it up. Stephan Papadakis has 2ar-fe within the same family of motor up to 1000hp so there is potential.

    98 n up 5sfe blocks from Camrys are common upgrade to 3sgte block when building 500+ hp 3s motor They're a few drag race teams, e.g., PSI Racing, Hard Target Racing, n few others with 1,000+ hp 3sgte probably using those newer 5sfe blocks. I have a friend running gen2 3sgte 90-93 on drag car with about 450hp to wheels hasn't had any issues with cracked blocks.

My two 3S motors...160,000 miles plus and still stock compression (both 88’s btw). I’ll keep my TVIS and slap in some adjustable cam gears and with the gear ratio take Honda’s all day. (Don’t get me wrong, started out a Honda boy)
    to the point- I don’t agree with the HP and strength comparison...but when the Honda snaps a belt your looking at big $$.

    Damn... this didn’t help one bit. For me the debate is track down a turbo. Or find a non turbo and K swap turbo it. Goal is to have mr2 for drifting, donuts and just getting sideways. What engine would be best for that? High rpm k to really get the wheels spinning at high RPMS. Or a low end torque. Most drift set ups run high RPM I thought. What kinda set ups do the sr20 silvias run? Alway sounds like a rev happy motor
