Γιώργο, σε προσκυνώ!!!!!!!!!!
Είναι η πρώτη φορά που ακούω γι' αυτό το μοτέρ και για τόσο τρελές εργοστασιακές ιπποδυνάμεις.
Μοιάζει να είναι ο απόγονος 4AGE16V formula atlantic, αλλά και με τουρμπίνα.
Πάντως η πληροφορία σου ειναι 1000% έγκυρή μιας και τα στοιχεία του κινητήρα τα έχει και το wikipedia.

θα ψάξω να βρω κανένα βιντεάκι από τα τέρατα που το φορούσαν σε δράση....
προς το παρόν, ακόμη λίγες πληροφορίες για τον κινητήρα
more text info.
Toyota 503E.
The most famous and successful Toyota Race engine- the 503E was used in Toyota's Triumphant Championship seasons in IMSA GTO / GTP, Pikes Peak, Le Mans, and in the mid-90s Japan Touring Cup Championship. It is important to note that the 16 valve cylinder head layout from the 152E engine and the T block crankshaft saddle design were used as design base for this ultimate Toyota 4 cylinder Turbocharged race engine. The 503E represented the most powerful 4 cylinders in competition history developing over 1000HP in qualifying tune, 800HP for sprint races, and 600 for endurance events.
Dan Gurney ran the 503E Toyota 4 cylinder engine, between 2.0 and 2.2 liters, in his IMSA GTP cars. The engine was tuned differently for endurance races, sprint races, and for qualifying.
At the 24 Hour race at Daytona the engine in the GTP machines ran a little over 100 inches of boost for something like 600 to 800 horsepower; and at least one engine ran 127 inches for over 1000 horsepower, but I forget what that was in, maybe Millen's Pike's Peak truck.

From an Auzie site:
In international competition the 3SG has powered formula type cars that have been consistent international winners specially under the TOM'S Racing Banner. The 3SGTE engines in WRC won for TTE (Toyota Team Europe) several Championships for Toyota. It is also the engine used in the WRC Champion Toyota Corolla, set up to a limited 300HP.
The engine is very similar to the JTCC / IMSA Champion 503E engine- In fact the development of the 503 was the basis of the 3SG, in effect the 3SG was based on a racing engine! A 503 was running even before the first 3SG.
This lightweight 2000cc block and 16 valve head with Toyota lineage- is a must have for the old school Toyota camp, needing (wanting?) a modern powerplant. We have available RWD conversion kits to retrofit these engines for RWD!
With Toyota's introduction of aluminum blocks, this may be the last of the 4 cylinder iron blocks. This is important to note because current new generations of aluminum blocks will need major preparation to be able to reliably sustain HP outputs that this iron block will easily survive. For ultimate Toyota power in the 2000cc class the 3SG is the final answer.
