The engine is not a third gen. or a Beams engine. It is a '92 3sgte motor I was informed from set individual, that it might be "rare" and I was wondering what distinguishes it as "rare?"

Re: "Rare" JDM engine??
The BEAMS 3SGE is a very rare JDM engine.
It is a normally aspirated 200 HP engine that drops into the MR2. I've only seen one and know of very few others. 200 hp out of an NA engine has got to me nice in the MR2

Re: "Rare" JDM engine??
i've seen heaps cause altezzas are pretty common here.... looking at dropping one in my mr2 with a gt30r off the side... local wreckers have about 3 at the moment...cars got flooded.

the altezza engine is not the same as the mr2 engine...
altezza = black top - dual vvt-i 210hp mr2 = red top - single vvt-i 200hp the red top 3sge was only produced in the mr2 from 1998 - 1999 in other words very little made

well u said u have seen heaps of beams engines when u were talking about a different engine... the mr2 beams engine is much more rare than the altezza engine because it produced for less than 2 years..
note that i never stated u were going to get the mr2 engine
