I am in the middle of deciding what to do. I am going from a 2nd gen 3sgte already swapped an running to a 3rd gen 3sgte. just not sure which one I want.
I really want a lsd tranny so the mr2 3rd gen 3sgte might be my best choice. If I got the st205 3sgte I was thing just sell the air to water intercooler setup and awd tranny an put that money toward a lsd tranny. 1 draw back of getting a mr2 3sgte the alternator is on the back. I have the old bracket on my 2nd gen. What would I do put the bracket on and switch the mr2 alternator pulley on because I think the mr2 belts are smaller. And whitch belt would I use the old one or the new engines? I am using my old 2nd gen harness and getting a jumper harness made to the sensors needed that the 2nd gen dont have. I am just happy to get rid of the afm and have more engine bay space. Whats a good compression reading on a 3rd gen. I am trying to pick a good engine from a honest importer. What would you guys choose the gt4's 3rd gen or mr2's? Would be nice to find a wrc 3rd gen. Will be starting the disassemble tommorow an taking pictures. |

everything looks tidy to be fair on that block mate.
nice st205 block, not a wrc though but tbh that means toss all, we welded up the anti lag ports on the exhaust manifold when doing my brothers forged conversion as theres no need for them, bar that the block is identical to the normal st205 block, i know many people claimed the wrc block was thick walled but thats utter tosh aswell as its luck of the draw again in the 3s as to block thickness. nice clean block. -------------------- 1994 ST-205 JDM GTFour... fmic conversion finshed, project GT500 is underway
