After Getting My First Gt!

[Jones~32]

The Corolla also shared the 7AFE that the Celica uses.

I had one!

Well in that case there probably is not that much between 3SFE and GE then.

I pressume they have different Gearboxes then, and so by sticking in a shorter ratio box it would mean very little difference up to 60.

Shame I was comparing the wrong engine!! ooopps

Some facts from celicaclub to clear things up:

ST/SR/LTD Model code AT200,engine 7A-FE ,1.8 114 BHP.

GT Model Code ST202 ,engine 3S-GE , 168 to 173 BHP.

SS1 Jap model, engine 3S-FE, 138bhp

1994 to around October 1996, the GT had 173bhp, then after that date it dropped to 168 bhp, and stayed at that , until the end of production.

0-60 times

1.8 ST = 9.9sec

SS1 = 8.5sec

2.0 GT= 7.9sec

GT4 = 6.3 Sec.

Top Speed ST = 124 mph

GT = 137 mph

GT4 152 MPH

Arrow :Below are some facts and figures on Gen6 imports

SS-1 ,2.0 16V engine 3S-FE , 138 BHP

SS-2 ,2.0 16V engine 3S-GE ,177BHP /auto 167 BHP

SS-3 ,2.0 16V engine 3S-GE ,177BHP /auto 167 BHP

Convertible ,2.0 16V 3S-GE engine 170 bhp /auto 167 BHP

GT4,2.0 16V engine 3S-GTE 251 BHP.

And for anyone dissappointed about their BHP figures, here is something to really cheer you up:

The Gen 6 line up for the USA, consisted of two engine options, a 135 bhp 2.2 GT,and a 105bhp ST 1.8 unit

Can't understand why they gave the US such horribly low power, I mean the US usually gets the bigger more powerful engines, what with their big highways and everything!!

[Bibbs]

US was due to low emissions, and also low fuel quality and high air temps (a LOT more dett).

Have a look in the performance section as I've added details about the history of the 3S engine.

Yeah there isn't too much but it is noticeable , particualry at higher speeds - my (3sfe) isnt nearly as quick after about 80-90 but up to there i can *almost* stay with my mates 3sge . I've driven his car and unlike my slight jump after 4k revs his has a much more noticable kick about there and right up to the redline ! ! His is standard though .
