hey,
over the last month or so ive been through a stock 3s ge from a st162 (I blew the bottom end bearings! )Well anyways, after much thought i decided the same engine was the way to go as funds were short due to the festive season and i needed a car asap. my mechanic found and fitted a 3s ge import model into my car within a week, and in time for christmas  well to the point, i realised this engine now has 'yamaha' imprinted north of the extractors, and after some searching and so forth its lead me to beleive this engine has 160ps
what is this figure in kW?
and also what is the difference in the yamaha head?
furthermore will i benifit from a import japanese ECU?
thanks for listening and any replies are well appreciated

ALL toyota twincam heads are a Yamaha design, so the fact that this one has yamaha printed on it makes little difference.
Perhaps if you read the casting numbers, or gave some pics some of the 3S dudes here could help identify it?
In particular things to look at would be the intake - does it have "T-VIS"?
Another thing is look at the ignition leads, see if they have a date stamp on them?

I was under the impression that only the G head (Wide angle sporty head) was made by Yamaha and that everything else was toyota's doing.
Anyways if you post up a pic of the whole engine it shouldn't be a problem identifying it.
From memory they started printing "Yamaha" on the timing case around the mid 90's on the ST204/5.

nah i know its definietly a gen 1 engine. It has tvis on the intake yes, it looks the same as my old 3s ge but i just wanna know if theres a real difference between a jap spec 3s and an aus spec one. And furthermore would it be benifiical to run the jap computer to suit the engine? i will post pics if some one can host them for me! any one  the yamaha serial number is something like 1111-???? but yeah thanks for the replies.
