I know that the factory 3SGTE exhaust manifold gasket is a 3 layer metal gasket. It should have the same stud pattern as the 3SGE.

part: 17173-88581

That one needles is holding is the turbo exhaust gasket, and looks like a standard pressed/stamped one out of generic gasket paper.

part: 17173-88581 that one cannot work the gen 3 3sge has bigger ports and the lug pattern is different.

2nd gen 3SGE has same stud pattern as 2nd gen 3SGTE
3rd gen 3SGE has same stud pattern as 3rd gen 3SGTE
so if yours is 3rd gen, then...........

left st185-------3sgte 2nd gen

right st205------3sgte 3nd gen

The gasket part numbers are different 3s-ge to 3s-gte, and probably different port spacing.


Needles: the turbine flange on the right is a CT26/ST185 flange, the downpipe on the left doesn't look like it fits any Celica or MR2 at all.

This is the back of a CT26/ST185 turbo



an ST205/CT20B flange goes on the same except some needs to be grinded where I put the red mark to the left on the flange so the wastegate doesnt get stuck, and theres a 7th hole for an extra stud which the 205/20b uses that the 185/26 does not.

That part is for a Gen3 3SGTE (ST205) which is the same lug pattern as the 3SGE?
Like this:



You're after an exhaust manifold gasket right? Goes between manifold and head?

Why is everyone showing turbo flanges?

yes the manifold and head but i am tellin you that my port holes are wider and in a differ in position where it meets the head.i bougth a cast iron and it could not fit and bougth one of tubular rev 3mani and it had the same port holes like thecast iron, had to cut the plate off the 3sge mani curve the pipes and weld it back on.
i think i have a spare asbestos gasket lying around i will try taking aic to show what it looks like

Does it look more like one of these?

do u have a flange like korban? make a gasket

look like this

Those flanges I posted were gen2 in case it matched them, and it obviously doesn't. But it still looks the same as the metal gen3 gasket i'm holding, I could take measurements if you want?

starting from the left, the distances between the centres of each pipe:

76mm, 96mm, 94mm

starting from left, the width of each port:

56.5mm, 50.6mm, 50.6mm, 50.6mm

sorry for delay in responding i found a material that can make a gasket so i am gonna make one thanks guys 4 ur help
