3sgte with front mount intercooler


Here is all the information that I have obtained about the 3sgte.

This engine will swap into any Celica that supports a 3s or 5s series motor. The 3sgte will also swap into Celicas with the A series motors but this does require more work than a S series Celica.

The 3sgte is classified by GENS... like the gens of a vehicle there are gens of motors. The gen of a motor determines from which production years the engine was produced. The start of a new gen usally coincides with the start of a new vehicle gen, although there are some gens that apear in different years of different vehicles.

GEN ONE*
10/87 - 8/89 ST165 Celica GT4/Alltrac

GEN TWO*
10/89 - 8/93 ST185 Celica GT4/Alltrac
1/90 - 6/95 SW20 MR2 Turbo

GEN THREE*
9/94 - 8/99 ST205 Celica GT4/Alltrac

* There are other models that have the 3sgte in them but this is the common vehicles that coincied with the respective GENS.

The GENS are also subdivided by the Group of the motor... There are two groups of the 3sgte. The first is GROUP B this is the original version of the motor and is usally just referred to as the 3sgte. The second is GROUP A this is the higher output version of the 3sgte.. GROUP A was a limited edition of the 2nd and 3rd GEN that was a fully built rally version of the 3sgte, these where also known as the CARLOS SAINTZ or R/C edition, and there where approx 2500 of the 3rd gen R/C's produced, I am not sure to the amount of the 2nd gen R/C's that where produced. The GROUP A motors had a few of the advance features turned off, where not present or just did not function.

The HP rating of these versions are as follows,variances are due to different transmission types and Group vesions

GEN ONE
185hp @ 6000 rpm

GEN TWO
200 - 225 hp @ 6000 rpm

GEN THREE
255 - 346 hp @ 6000rpm
