All US MR2's came with Gen 2 motors stock.

so your saying you have a 86-89 celica GT4?
Dude, be more specific. What are you looking for. Do you somehow have a bastardized MR2 with a Gen 1 motor in it?!Originally Posted by redGT
Very, Very few Gen 1 engine parts are compatable with Gen 2 engines.
Again, what parts are you looking for?
Rich...Bob...Stan...?????
the mr2 i'm looking at has a gen 1 3s-gte swap in it from a 88 celica gt-4 the a2w intercooler was swapped for a a2a intercooler and the gen 1 intake manifold was swapped for a gen 2 so what my question is can i just go out and buy gen 2 aftermarket stuff or do i have to go and track down gen 1 parts?

I do not understand why they would have swapped that motor in there?Originally Posted by redGT
I, personally, would find another MR2 with a Gen 2 or a Gen 3 swapped into an MR2.
If you really want this one, you will need Gen 1 parts for the engine.

i dont think many people know the compatibility differences between the gen 1 and gen 2 cause the gen 1 is not as common as the gen 2... so i think your out of luck there.
i have no idea why that person would swap a gen 1 in when gen 2 and JDM gen 3 are easy to get and upgrade.
swap it out for a 3vz/5vz or 1mz/3mz

well i am still checking into compatibility if they are compatible i will go for this one but if not then i guess i am still on the hunt.

if you get it, i would sell the motor as a whole or part the motor out, then use some extra money and get a gen 2 turbo swap.
cause almost no one knows about gen 1s.
also blue interiors are ugly.
