[Mk2] [Turbo] St205 charge cooler on a gen2

Post by MikeyB571 »

i am having a problem trying to fit a st205 charge cooler to my mr2. Problem is that I have a gen2 engine so the throttle body is different and I can't fit the st205 throttle sock to it.

Does anyone know if it's possible to fit this charge cooler to my engine?
Can I fit a gen3 throttle body to my gen2 manifold?

I appreciate any help here, I'm really stuck.

Thanks.

Use the rev2 sock. Get it in really hot water for a bit,fit to core and leave over night.it'll be tight but will work.

Ok, I assume you mean a rev2 celica sock. I just ordered an st185 sock, so I'll try what you have suggested.

Thanks for the help.

Which is?

I am new to these sort of conversion and so thought I had the "correct" charge cooler. If there is such a thing when you consider that mr2's don't come with charge coolers.

Any help would be appreciated :)

ST205 has the Rev3 3SGTE engine, whilst the ST185 had the Rev2 3SGTE engine.

Thank you very much Nathan, that really helps. I'll figure something out but it seems that I'll need an st185 sock to start with.
