What are the most common F2 Midget engines used & does anyone know of any engines sitting or in need of a rebuild. Pm if you do that would be cool, cheers.

Hi,
Most of the cars there have a Toyota 3SGE from a Celica or similar, a couple with the BEAMS head (Altezza only). Couple cars have Nissan SR20DE or SR20VE, seem to go OK too. I believe there are two Honda motors out there, might be the F series motors out of the S2000 sports car or the K series from the Integra. As for any motors sitting, perhaps the easiest way is to buy a Toyota motor (cheapest option) and then piece together what you need (injection, restrictor, pumps and belts etc) then give it a red hot go.

I thought the BEAMS head was illegal, due to the VVTi system built into them.
And the BEAMS also came out in the Celica SSII-SSIII, Gen 5 MR2's and the Caldina's.
Also worth a note. the beams motors are an interference motor as opposed standard 3SGE's which are Non-interference.

You can run a beams engine, just like you can run a Nissan sr20ve or Honda voted just have to disable the variable valve timing, which for a race motor isn't really a huge loss as you're not usually that low in the rev range & most likely would want to change the cams to get everything to work best with the intake restrictors.

Hi does anyone know of any Toyota 3sge (Injection,restrictor,Pump & Belts) components designed for a F2 Midget engine that meet the rules sitting unused, For sale or where they can be purchased. Rough idea of cost would also be helpful. Do most guys use the 16 or 20 valve 2.0 Litre engines, Thanks in advance.

Heaps of options around, BSL make the restrictors, the pump bracket is a simple one that an engineer can make out of tooling plate with a few measurements, the injection can be as simple as the factory manifold with a panel filter and methanol injectors adapted all the way to a custom billet one, the pumps are easy if you are staying wet sump. (kse make a combo power steer and fuel pump) PM me your phone number if you like and I'll answer any questions in more depth. |
