ST246 Caldina 98+ 3SGTE ENGINES? Options

[chacha]

I know there have been some discussion late in the past upon swaping the specific engine ST246 which produces a stronger HP engine than the 3rd Gen engine, but i haven't found any posting about actually doing the swap; i know this might sound stupid, but i just like to ask if there has been any updated info upon such engine swap with ST246 3SGTE engine (4th Gen engine) ?? Thanks, i would appreciate any response if possible. I know i could just easily go for the 3rd Gen 3SGTE, but just always curious about the newer version of the 3SGTE engine.

That's a second gen isn't it? I don't know much about the 3sgtes though. He needs a scoop for that hood. Seems to me that if you had enough money to put a 4th gen in your car, you would at least put it in right and make sure the intercooler had enough air. It won't get much just setting there, air needs to be pushed in it. That's why front mounts work so well.
