Gen 2 3S-GE Questions Sun, 09 October 2005 14:59 Go to next message
Hey guys.

On thursday I'm buying a Gen 2 3S-GE with bellhousing to suit W series gearbox for $650 off a mate.

just a few quick questions:

1. what model MR2 did this come out of and what year models? is it an SW20?

2. How much power did these have from factory?

3. Does any company make forged internals for them or do you just have to get them made?

4. Any recurring problems with these engines?

5. It doesn't come with a computer so does anyone know of an aftermarket computer that works with a turboed one of these? I was thinking adaptronic. Don't want to spend too much on computer.

6. If not standalone how much approximately should I pay for a factory computer and are there any piggy-back computers that work well with them?

Thanks guys!

Are you talking about a 3S-GTE or a 3S-GE

1. Yeah the gen 2 motor came out of the SW20, but the bellhousing would probably be from a SA63 Celica ?

2. 118kw for the aus delivered naturally aspirated model not sure about other markets though.

3. Not that hard to get forged internal for a 3S-GTE, but for 3S-GE you will probably have to go custom.

4. Gen 2 3S-GE is very strong and reliable. If mounted at the correct 15degree angle (or whatever angle they are usually on, i think it's about 15? maybe 30? I dunno).

5. Turbo ?

6. No idea.

The motor can be sat upright you will just have to tape in a return line to the sump for one side of the head. Not a big issue.

Special Piston Services in Victoria can make you forged internals for the 3SGE.

Cheers
