will the VVT-li fit in a 94 st..?... - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #5993 16 posts Started by Digndoug
Does any one know if the VVT-li will fit in to my 94 celica st? Im looking to swap the eninge, but i really dont favor turbo engines.... So if any one has any idea's or opinions, let me know, tanks.....
yes, you have one of 4 choices (ranging from most expensive to least)

1) Blacktop BEAMS 3SGE (99-03 Altezza)
2) Redtop BEAMS 3SGE (98-99 SSIII)
3) Blacktop 4AGE 20v (97-99 Levin)
4) Silvertop 4AGE 20v (92-96 Sprinter)

the later 2 would be the easiest to swap in. however they don't have lift, but are vvt enabled.
None of those engines have VVTL-i however. The 3S-GE engines have VVT-i, and the 4A-GE engines have VVT as Pete said, but none have VVTL-i. If you're thinking about swapping in a 2ZZ-GE with VVTL-i, you don't want to do this. If you read the sticky thread at the top of this forum about feasible engine swaps, you'll find details about why you don't want to swap this engine into your car.

New Toyota project coming soon...
Thanks for the info, I didnt see the engine swap thing, im just looking to get some more power, an I dont know anything about toyotas. What would be the best way to get the most power With not blowing away to much money??
what kind of power are you looking to make?

also I didn't know the blacktop 3sge didn't have vvtli. thanks for the correction. >smile.gif>
No one has done it but I think the 2AZ-FE will fit in (would be expensive though). You get a 2.4 litre with VVTi and great torque. You could gut the dual cats in the exhast manifold and get more power out of it. Wiring would be a nightmare though.

btw - the 2004 RAV4 now comes with this engine and it has 161 HP with 165 ft-lbs of torque.

Is there any info compairing the VVT in a silvertop 4age to DOHC VTEC in the hondas? Will it have the same effect that at a certain RPM the power curve will change drasticly?
the vvt is better in the toyota than in honda.

VVTL-i is different. Do not know how that operates in a driving environment.

The VVT-i have a calm flow compare to the early vtec.

You can barely notice VVT-i.

Sorry that I cannot offer more details on VVTL-i since we hardly have them here in Barbados. Test drive the new celica (GT, GTS) and compare.

I just do not understand why toyota is not including VVTL-i in all of its models, especially in the performance range.

There are just disgusting creatures.

Well, it must be said that I have not seen any potential small eco high perf. cars from 2000-2004 beside the celica engine.

Well, we will have to see whats happens.

Have any seen the new Subaru engines that came out for 2004? Sweet.
