Hello all,

 

Just a little question, I have look around the net and I am still a little unsure, does anybody know what engines the 1984 celica came with. also what car is the 3S engine out of.. I am looking at buying one of these celicas but it has a 3S in it and I am a little confuzzeled...

It came with the 2S 2.0L engine (SA63) or the 22R 2.4L engine (RA65) according to drive.com.au

in '84 WE got all 22re's....

Just a note, the BEAMS never came out in the IS200, only the Toyota Altezza (same shape, but different model). The IS200 had the 1GFE 2.0L straight 6 in it.

I know its an 84 model and I know it has a 3S in it. I am just thinking that they put a newer engine in to the old celica, but reading what nick posted above answers half my question now I have to find out the exact model of the car. when did celica's go to front wheel drive? From what I have been reading its around 1989, and that leads me to think the 3S is out of a front wheel drive version.

thanks for all your help.

It was well before 1989 that the Celica went FWD. I thought the first models were released in about 84/85. Obviously there will be some RWD models from the year while the changeover took place. The first three models of Celica were RWD, and all the rest FWD (with a couple of AWD's in the mix).

ours changed to fwd in late '86 ...i think

The only Rear Wheel Drive 3SGE ever made was the Altezza version

 

Yes and no.. The Spacia Van has a 3SFE RWD :jamie:

MR2's were RWD. Just not the kind of RWD that is of any use for this discussion.
