    Hi all, ive found a 3sgte motor with a water to air intercooler, i cannot tell the year of the motor, its probably a 2nd gen, but doesnt that water/air cooler denote a gt4 3sgte?

    my dilema is it has not wiring harness/ecu/afm but it has the alltrac tranny and tcase. he wants 1100 for it out the door, but i dont have a wiring harness or ecu.

    maffix were you selling an aftermarket ecu?

    If it has a water to air int. Then it is a 1st gen 3sgte a`86-89..Good luck finding a harness for that motor...Mafix has the last brand new one.

    lol, its not any of those, as the w/a is black, it is shaped similar to the 1st gen, so it probably is a first gen, in which case i dont think i want it.

    what do you guys think, any way to visually check what gen it is?

    it's an RC motor. black and grey WTA cooler. that should be fun finding stuff for.
    make 100% sure it comes with AFM and ECU before you buy it. otherwise you'll wind up making a normal 2nd gen motor with WTA.

    there is no ecu/afm, so i might as well not buy it. its wierd though it looks like the 1st gen w/a cooler but it is black
