I have seen that engine in the flesh its in a japanese toyota museum suppose to have 185 hp and i think they would have noticed it if i tried to put it in my pocket and leave with it :) when i was there they were also restoring a 2000gt awesome looking car that at one time held a world distance and speed record :)

you will find pictures of the tom's 150e (aka: 3k-r) engine on hiro's

site here - http://homepage2.nifty.com/hiro-cy/ - as you can see, they

bear little similarity to the engines we have in our cars, twincam head,

waste spark, mechanical injection. god only knows what other block mods

have been done

 

they were made for international group 2 racing in the 70s for kp47

starlets, i have a document with some tosco/trd part numbers but

considering there was probably one or two of these engines made, ever,

you'd never get hold of one. the engine in hiro's pics is rumored to be

an item of interest in some old japanese racer's loungeroom. later trd

catalogs for 4k-powered kp61 starlets use the ohv head like our motors

do, just with bigger valves, twin dellortos, cdi ignition, engine and

diff oil coolers, custom gears, big disc brakes, etc etc

 

there's a guy on rollaclub.com (by the name of "blown 5k") who claims to

have been to japan and seen a starlet or corolla getting around with an

ex-race 3k-r engine, apparently they haul ass

 

if you're keen for a twincam engine in your corolla, a 4a-ge is a good

start. a 2t-g would be a close second, though a little heavier. you can

also convert a suzuki swift g13b motor to rwd by using sierra 4x4 bits,

and they're a stout little engine. a 1g or 3s will also fit and is legal

in ke30-onwards :)
