This engine is the ultimate choice for enthusiasts building a high-performance MR2, Celica, or custom RWD/AWD platform. Meticulously inspected for internal health and performance consistency, this 4th Gen 3S-GTE delivers the perfect balance of rally-bred durability and impressive horsepower potential.
