engine code

Post by intacorsa »

Probably been asked a thousand times,but I've done searches and come up with nothing,
Basically thinking of buying another Mr,after been away for a while,found a few to look at,but can't remember how to tell what engine's theyre running,
Is there something I can check, ones a rev 2 but guy not sure what engine it's running,don't want a 3SFE engine.
Others a rev 3,
Thanks for your help

The engine code, 3SFE, 3SGE and 3SGTE is stated on the cam belt cover.

Failing that check the ECU, it has a label with the engine code on it (in the boot behind the carpet)

^this also. Rev 1/2 have red labels on ecu, and rev3+ have black labels. Certainly for turbos anyway, 3S-GT in red for rev 1/2 and 3S-GT in black on rev3+.

Doesnt the valve cover look completely different on the 3SFE anyway? Same for the intake mani design, the 3sge intake mani goes over the head and the fe intake doesnt.
