St205 or St185, difference of about 2500. USDM engines have higher mileage, get a clip, get jdm. -------------------- My Flickr My eBay _Perpetual Aperture_

Guest_Matthew_* Guest_Matthew_* View Member Profile	there isnt a 4th generation gt4/all trac that i have ever heard of there is a 4th generation 3s-gte. thats in the toyota caldina. chassis code st215. i think 260hp or so. way expensive and super rare and even more to do the wiring to swap into your car. 1st gen 3s-gte in the all trac/gt4 st165 87-89 (i think) 2nd gen 3s-gte in the all trac/gt4 st185 90-93 3rd gen 3s-gte in the gtfour 94-98 st205 4th gen 3s-gte in the caldina not sure on years st215

1st gen 3s-gte in the all trac/gt4 st165 87-89 (i think)
2nd gen 3s-gte in the all trac/gt4 st185 90-93
3rd gen 3s-gte in the gtfour 94-98 st205
4th gen 3s-gte in the caldina not sure on years st215

the very first alltrac came out with the 4th gen celica. 86-89 or something like that. came with the 1st gen 3sgte and a small w2a IC

I have a 205 and it was a pain to get replacement parts for the top end.. toysport wanted 350+ just for a new heat shield F@*k that!... currently I am playing around with a 185 top end I got when I traded my GT4 rearend parts, so far everything I have order for it from the toyota dealer has worked fine... did have alittle bit of a problem with the oil return hose but a little bending fixed that fine and it could of just gotten bent in shipping. -------------------- 99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =)
