MR2 vs CELICA - 3SGTE Timing Components - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #87403 6 posts Started by 83841
Is a 1994 Celica GT4 (ST-205) have the same belts, pulleys & Water Pump as a 1994 MR2 (SW20)?

Im looking to replace all my timing belt components and since they are both 3SGTE motors are they the same?

Toyota OEM part numbers dont match...

I believe you answered your own question.



What throws me off is that exact site where they have 3 water pumps listed. 1 for MR2. 1 for CELICA. and 1 for both....I was hoping to purchase the parts here in the US other than over seas.


they are both 3rd gen 3S-GTE's so i would say yes they are the same. however something in the back of my mind is reminding me that i bought a 91 MR2 thermostat and it did not fit my 90 Celica All-Trac

Better safe then sorry, being they have different part numbers and such.

You may be able to find in the US, I think lithia toyota is one of them, sorry do not have a direct link at the moment.

They were able to get me a oil pump gasket pretty quickly for the 3sgte.

The one difference I see between the pumps is the fins on the ...propeller or whatever you want to call it. The first on with a J part number has metal blades, which I believe are prone to rusting.

The second, which is what I purchased from them, has a plastic type blade, and is a direct fit.

it will not rust if you use distilled water like you are supposed to.
