BUT I was wondering if a 3sgte from a USDM mr2 (if a 3sgte motor available in it) is the same thing as a 3sgte from a JDM celica gt4... my thinking is that a 3sgte is a 3sgte is a 3sgte, but with the mr2 being a mid-engine it could change the engine around. OH and I am talking about a 3 gen. 3sgte from a 94 on gt4... Thanks for the help

Please keep in mind that it won't necessarily be that difficult to get parts for a gen 3 motor. Some parts from the gen 2 motor can be used... others can be found from other cars.

For example, the thermostat for a gen 3 is the exact same thing as the one they use in a Landcruiser...

And to be honest... how often will you have to replace parts like that?

My question is what about the parts that are replaced often? e.g. belts, hoses, oil filter, etc....If I go with a gen 3 swap, will I have to import these things? If so, are they readily available and how long does it take? Also, assuming that I went with a gen 2, would I have the same problems if I went with a jdm rather than usdm?

Oil filter.. same

Timing belt... off by one tooth, but can still be used. ToyotaWorld can get the gen 3 belt tho.

Hoses... not even an issue...
