Checking out the debate here for the 3sgte I would go gen III. If you ask why here's a few reasons it looks better, much more simplified especially when working around bulky components like the huge afm and the twin intake ports vs the single on the genIII. It's nearly a stock fit anyways with around 20% increase in power over the US/CDN models and if your putting it in yourself you'll know it's a pain to do all the work by yourself may as well spend the extra cash and enjoy the extra ponies. After you can enjoy the fruits of your labour and try modding it even more. I bought so much stuff like the Greddy stainless exhaust, big brakes new tires 245/35/17 for the front Toyo T1S' around $3000.00 in extra's that I haven't put on yet this summer like I wanted to. So whatever you do make sure it's gonna make a difference cause other wise it's pointless. Gen II waste of time stick with the US version and slap on a Gen III turbo that's 90% of the difference anyways.

The V6 is gutless 3.0L camry, avalon, es300. The 3.4L is junk wouldn't waste my time can't be bothered with all the extra wires for the same power as a gen 3. Wait till you do the exhaust manifolds ohhhh yeah here we go.

If you insist however on having a MR2 V6 get the 2GR-FSE 3.5L V6 Lexus IS350 engine it makes 306HP and 277lb/ft torque. By the way you need to get a camry transmission cause the lexus is rwd.
