The 3SGTE lump was tuned to buggery and fitted mainly because of weight distribution. Look at how far back (behind the front axle line) and low the engine sits:)

 

Yup, they wanted a smaller lighter engine which could sit further back and effectively give a 50/50 weight distributuon.

I supose it didnt matter if they had to rebuild the engine after every race, why did they go for the V8 is it due to the torque and lazyness of the engine?

 

I don't think the racing V8's were lazy ;)

 

But yes more torque...and because they could. They wanted to race NA technology not turbo tech.
