I have a 1997 Toyota Celica GT convertible with a 2.2L engine. This is my first toyota and I was wondering what type of engine it had. I keep seeing posts talking about ST202, ST203, etc. Can anyone help me out with this?

Would you say that it is the best stock engine for the sixth gen toyotas?

In America I suppose. Best stock sixth gen engine is the GEN3 ST205 3SGTE.

In terms of bang for your buck, the 5SFE is the best. It's awesome on fuel and still has a bit of power too. The 3S-GTE is a heck of a lot faster, but it also requires more general maintenance and labor costs to perform said maintenance, and requires premium fuel at the pump.

I wouldn't agree with that one I would say best bang for your buck would be the 3sge Redtop beams.
