hey welcome to our forums

7mgte = 230hp 86-92 3.0 turbo mk3
7mge = 200hp 86-92 3.0 non turbo mk3
1ggte = 210hp 86-92 2l twin turbo mk3
1gge = 190hp? 86-92 2l non turbo mk3
1jzgte = 280hp 90-92 2.5 twin turbo mk3
2jzge = 200hp? 93-98 3.0 non turbo mk4
2jzgte = 280hp 93 -98 3.0 twin turbo mk4

a mk3 would be a good start for ya but beware... they are a money pit... they are at least 10yrs old so expect to spend some money
you'll find a few mk3 owners that want mk4's but most usually own a mk3 coz they love the mk3 not coz they want a mk4 hehe
good luck getting your dream car

Is there any way you can tell the yearmodel of the motor by using the engine number?
