3sgte or the 5sgte in my mr2?

[ghost99x]

I have only had my MR2 for a few weeks, its a 91, on the engine lid it says 3sgte, does this mean i have the jap engine, or is it the american 5sgte, i dont know much about the cars origin, is there any horsepower difference between the two? Thanks

if it says 3sgte, you most likely have a 3sgte.

or you would have a 5sfe, which is not a 5sgte......

big power diff. between 3sgte and 5sfe

If it says 3sgte, congratulations on owning a turbo!

hah you should definetly find out.. huge difference man. Were talkin a huge powere difference. The lid should read the correct engine, so congrats on a very respectable motor.

aw hell yea, sorry everyone but i dont know too much about this car yet, how much hp does the turbo model have? like 180ish or so?

[4DMR2t]

that would be 200hp 200 ft-lbs. torque

Happy boosting!
