Hi
Sorry if i sound stupid but i'm new to all of this, i would just like to know what the difference is when people mention 3SGTE, 7AFE, 5SFE, etc? its been bugging me but i've been a bit embarrased to ask and which one is mine?

Thanks PReynolds2006

Yeah i have got loads to learn thanks to people like you to help me on my way so how do i find out which one i've got?

[99Celica]

I dont' know where newcastle is but i'm guessing you have a 5s if you're in the states or a 3sge if you're in the UK

you can also check under the hood for the answer

There's probably a newcastle in both the US and UK but my bet is with the UK judging by the "Upon Tyne" part so most likely one of the 2 versions of the 3S-GE that you guys got [but yet again we got screwed out of]

Sorry i'm from the uk i've just got the car a month ago because just passed my driving test and i wanted a gt4 but me being 24 years old the insurance was mad!

Well cheer up then - you already have approx. 25-50% more HP than us poor Americans [Except people like me and many others who swapped out for 3S-GTE which is the Turbo 3S motor you wanted in your GT4 ].
I believe this list is comprehensive and correct [feel free to correct me if I missed something]:

7A-FE - USDM/UKDM/ADM - 105HP 1.8L N/A
3S-GE - JDM/UKDM - 177HP 2.0L N/A
3S-GTE - JDM/UKDM/ADM - 250 +/-HP 2.0L Turbo
5S-FE - USDM/ADM - 135HP 2.2L N/A

I want to make it look like a gt4 and add a turbo but i cannot get the parts anywhere i want the spoiler extension blocks any ideas?

Ah - that's easy. Check the Buy/Sell section and if not there then ebay is your friend

[PReynolds2006]

ok thats perfect thanks mate

[DEATH]

One more tip:
Be Patient. You will find these parts very cheap on the buy/sell section if you wait long enough.

Trust that guy DEATH, he's one of the best GT4 conversion's i've ever seen. (just need to get some AWD and he'll have a GT4)

also check your local craigslist. I love that joint~

i wish i was in the UK
the 3SGE is so much better off then the 5SFE

[zero07]

diddo. ah...gt4.. mmmm...

[DEATH]

Imagine what some of us with deep enough pockets to afford to swap could do with all that swap money if we started the project with 3S-GTE and AWD.

lol yeah i wish,
GT4's aren't even legal in canada yet

On that subject [and since the original question has been answered] - once GT4's are legal to import and have gone through the legalization process in Canada next year - can us USAers buy them and import them legally from Canada [NAFTA FTW]?

[dnyluong]

I'm sure you could because i know many canadians (calgarians for that matter) that have imported a supra from the states up to here.

don't forget the oh so powerful in the 98-99 ssIII
redtop beams 3sge w/vvti FTW 2.0l 200hp+
only available in JDM market but is able to be imported to other markets (except usdm )
i believe there were a few with the 3sfe as well but i'm not quite sure.
