2GR vs 4GR physical differences

[musashahzadkhan]

I am looking to buy a 2gr swapped mark X. The problem is that the 2gr is pretty similar to the 3 and 4 gr so how can i tell if its a proper swap or just a badge?

P.S I understand i can look at the 0-100 figures but there are detuned versions of the 2gr. Plus you can never be too careful specially living in Pakistan.

Engine code will be present on the motors block. Make sure new engine number is updated in papers. Also make sure the wiring isn't a total mess and look out for any accidental history as 75% Mark X's have been crashed due to drifting on open diff and up for sale with shower for fresh look ads.

Physical engine mount position for both have no difference.

other then that the engine displacement & torque producing itself is significantly different in terms of PHYSICAL ANATOMY of both engines.

Both engines share almost same engine foundation layout but the ECM system and transmissions are different 4 gr has 4 speed dual convertor lockup mechanism
Where as 3 gr has 5 & 6 speed with dual converter lockup system so if some one is using only 3 gr engine with 4 gr ecu it's not worthy and if the ECM along with transmission is swapped and working properly then it will be a more robust swap with lot of torque and lowest cruise rpms at highway along with better fuel economy
