How can I be sure I'm buying a 3rd gen 3SGTE engine? Is there a badge that will say "ST205" on the block or something like that?
I'm sorry I'm a total newb... I'm just guessing here: ST185 is for the 2nd GEN 3SGTE, correct? So, where on the engine would I look to ensure it was from a ST205? -------------------- |

If your bying a clip its pretty obvious, if not you can look for the W2A intercooler. The st185 has A2A and AFM while the 3rd gen uses MAP (there are no chunk of block on the intake pipe). There are more ways but these are the obvious ones.
Edit: KAOS man you should know better than this, you've been here for over 2 years.

You're gonna want a clip anyway so it's gonna be obvious. The ST-205 W2A is HUGE.
Plus the obvious differences in body parts. --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM)  Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

Don't use the Water to air intercooler as the way to tell, because the ST185 RC uses the same setup. Look at the intake manifold: if there are 8 runners, it's a gen 2, if there are 4 runners, it's a gen 3 (or 4).
The gen 4 uses a side-inlet intake manifold and a huge air to air intercooler. -Doc This post has been edited by Dr_Tweak: Aug 5, 2008 - 2:50 PM -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

Very true but the RC version is much smaller and the 165 is even smaller than that.
He's right tho - the intake runners and shape would be more telling. -------------------- ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM) Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

Are you sure the RC version is smaller? I know there are a couple differences but I thought it was basically the same size.

Damn. Someone took that pic of the ST-205 one down but I have a pic of the other two side by side. Give me a few.
BTW - I'm just going on what I read and have seen from pictures. I've only ever had my hands on ST-165 W2A and ST-215 A2A.

The ST165 WTA intercooler is VERY small, that's for sure. It's almost funny to look at!

LOL yeah here's that one:
 Notice how the RC one has a decently long pipe coming from the Turbo? If I can find that pic of the ST-205 that will make this obvious for you.

Oh yeah, I see where you're going. The ST205 one is a little deeper, isn't it.
