The BEAMS doesn't need any special servicing at all. No different to any other NA Toyota engine really.
 
I presume this is the engine from the burgundy Celica previously owned by Brad (?) in Western Sydney, who I exchanged a few messages with on the BEAMS forum. If I remeber correctly, he did all the obvious 100,000 km service things (and a bit more) before swapping the engine into his car. Having the seals on the output shaft leak after taking the axles out is pretty common, so that's nothing to worry about. After dealing with that, you should be right to just do very basic servicing for some time.

Alright Rikkir, I'll see if I can make it then haha.
 
mister2, if you were addressing my BEAMS, no it's from jap afaik, with ~80,000kms on the clock.
 
I'm the one who did the output shaft seal after I got it, cause it was leaking like crazy haha.
Glad there's nothing else to worry about though :) hoping to find this airbox so I can show my mate that his Jetta isn't all that fast x'D

Also, just wondering, does the MAF come with the airbox or do I need to buy it separately?
I'm just not sure what it looks like etc.
I know so far that the resonators & airbox are the most important parts, anything else?
 

The maf should come with the airbox.

The MAF mount is an integral part of the intake pipe on the lid of the airbox. The sensor itself isn't and is unlikely to come with a second-hand airbox, unless you're lucky. But you must already have the MAF sensor in your current intake setup or the ECU wouldn't let the car wouldn't run at all I imagine!
 
My presumption that you bought the motor from the guy I mentioned was just a guess – and totally off the mark. Where did you get the engine from?

Ah ok, yeah I thought I'd have the MAF, it makes sense that way anyway!
I'll probably get my mate's help to put things together once I gather the airbox and all anyway, so I'll know what's what then haha
 
My BEAMS came from an ST202, I bought the car with the swap made fairly recently to it, and that's all I really know about it :/
 
Previous owner says he bought it with 80,000kms apparently. It seems pretty healthy tbh.

Here's another useful link. Local parts supplier for many BEAMS servicing items and more:
 
http://www.sq-engineering...engine/3sge-beams.html

Oh yeah, I stumbled upon that before, has a fair few parts!
 
Thanks, I'll bookmark it now :D

Lol, yeh those airboxes are rare as unicorns. May just be easier to go straight to itbs...heh.

The beams head regardless of intake will always flow more than the preceding 3s. Bigger valves, better port height/valve angle, skinnier valve stems, highest lift/duration cams.

The beams also has a 65mm throttle body, gen3 only had 60 and fluted intake runners in the plenum.

Yeah, I'm hoping to find something, it's really stupid that there's no way around it :(
 
Anyone got a clue what I should be expecting in terms of speed? Has anyone actually timed their 0-100 in an MR2 with BEAMS?
