What the 150k mr2 didn't sell for asking price?? Thats a shocker. I wonder if anyone told you how long those "3sgte" motors last. Thanks for the negative rep chief.

On topic, 3rd gen is a good engine. From what I've seen, JDM market seemed a little over priced. I don't know what your plans are with the car but if you wanna just put a lower mileage motor in it and sell it, I'd recommend a 2nd gen.(you should then get your asking price) Its a little cheaper and parts are readily available. If you plan on sticking with the car for a while to enjoy it, go with a 3rd gen 3sgte. Its an awesome motor! CT20b, higher boost!

As far as who puts it in your car, go with Sean Kriner all the way!! No offense to anyone else you mentioned but don't go cheap with the installation especially if you decide to go the route with a 3rd gen. I can personally vouch for Sean because he installed the 3sgte in my 90 GT. Clean work and that man takes real pride in his work! Good luck.
