I ordered my 3s motor about 2 years ago from this sunrise japanese place in canada. The guy said it was an st205 motor, but I have been looking recently and it say's that the st205 had a ct20b turbo on it, but for some reason my motor has a ct26! The motor has a black tmic that says twin entry turbo, but the turbo seems to be the wrong one. Could I have a st185rc motor or was the turbo changed or something?

one of the easiest ways to tell a 2nd gen from a 3rd gen 3sgte is the oil filter location.

if it's on the top to the right of the alternator, you got yourself a 2nd gen motor from a ST185.

if the oil filter is on the bottom of the motor making it way easier to change the oil that would be a 3rd gen motor from a ST205.
