When it comes to 300hp, there is no point to wasting money on a Gen2. I've got 5k into my Gen 3 with bolt ons (including the swap). I will challenge anyone with a 2nd gen that has spent less the 5k, you will not win. Gen3>Gen2. You cannot match the hp, and low end pickup "dollar for dollar".

3rd GEN Swap for sure, then don't touch it other then basic bolt-ons.
Owned: 91 MR2 N/A, 91 MR2 5FSE Turbo, 88 MR2 SC, 91 MR2 2nd GEN 3SGTE; then swapped 3rd GEN, and most currently... driving an 87 4AGZE JDM MR2.
All I'm missing is a BEAMS swap...
C you all at the MR2 meet this weekend in O-Town.
PEACE-

i wasnt brought about around cars but i can change my own rotors do my own tune ups change my own timing belts swapp my own trannies and redo my valve cover and cable linkage of my car and most electical like my own system and harness and checking for any problems withe the starter alternator and such besides that im lost
lol kidding, but id take daves advice an go with the 3s-gte . there cheap(ish) and it should bolt right in. nice thing about toyota is you can swap motors and the new one will bolt right in as long as its the same series. im currently swappin out my 4aFE for a 4aGZE in my corolla and it fits perfect..
good luck
