2nd gen or 3rd gen 3sgte? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #69100 6 posts Started by nefftrooper
Ok, so what ive been noticing is that there are alot of parts specifically made for the 2nd gen 3sgte, but the 3rd gen makes more hp? What are the ups and downs, let hear what you all think.
3rd gen is the way to go.
A few years ago the 2nd gen was easier to get and cheaper but the 3rd gen has come way down in price and is relativly easy to get.

Cons-A little more money




2nd gen

where would be a good place to shop around for a 3rd gen clip?
The biggest pro for the 2nd gen is that it was offered here in both the 5th Gen Celica Altrac and the MR2T so that makes it easier to get the few parts that aren't common to both versions of the engine. You can get just about anything you may need at the local parts store.
That being said, the 3rd gen IS worth the small extra hassle of ordering parts when needed.
