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? -------------------- |

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 |
