The 3SGE Beams is a beautiful, modern engine, and it's a great option to consider if you want to do a swap. Making 210hp naturally-aspirated, using breakthrough variable valve timing technology and distributorless ignition, and monster-sized throttle body. For those of you who want an engine that makes good power without forced induction, take a good look at the BEAMS. The car is owned by Julie from Rhode Island. Her husband Dave had this BEAMS swap done as well as several other upgrades as a special gift to her. They shipped the car down to us for the work, and then we shipped it back when it was complete. I never even got to meet them face to face!

Swap up and running!

Here's what the owners had to say about their swap: (at the time of this swap Dr Tweak was operating Phoenix Tuning under SCC's performance division. Phoenix Tuning swaps are still performed at SCC as of the time of this writing.)

"My wife & I got her car back a few weeks ago. It was in Georgia @ Southern Car Customs getting a new beams swapped in. Since we live up north in Rhode Island, we had the car shipped down & back. While it was there a brake upgrade, new suspension, clutch &  exhaust were among the work that was performed along with the new engine. Dr. Tweak was very accommidating. We got the car back it was like new. Only much faster.

Anyone looking for a performance shop to do your swap, I highly recommend SCC."
