[Mk2] [Turbo] ST205 Group A Engine

[>PETE<]

Hey guys,

I have the opportunity of getting a new ST205 engine complete with W2A IC and the like. The owner got the engine imported from Japan and claims its a Group A Rally Edition engine, but I'm a bit sceptical. I have the following info and was wondering if anyone can reference the number to see if it geniunly was a Group A engine?

From a 1994 Celica
Model: E-ST205-BLMVZ
Frame No: ST205-0008031
Plant Built: A54
Trans Axle E154F-08B
Engine No: 3S9267282

Thanks

im sure the model number you have listed is the same as mine, also for the frame number you have listed it would have been later then the wrc cars as they only made 2500 and they where all in the first 5000 so the highest frame number could be would be st205-0005000! dont see why they would fit a group a engine in a none wrc as it would'nt have the anti lag or water injection and so on which all the wrc have.
im not saying its not a group a engine but i very much dout it.

Something like the first 250 205 blocks that came out of the factory were reinforced group a items.....ill have to track the info down somewhere.
