The Gen4/5 are the most readily available, have the highest HP, have the newest tech in them. There is nothing wrong with a Gen2, just keep in mind it will have about 50hp less than a Gen4/5 (If it's a US speck Gen2, which it should be if it's a Hawaii based one).

A Gen2 has 200-205 HP, a Gen4/5 has 256 HP.

Also keep in mind that a Gen2 will have a twin entry CT26, a Gen4/5 will have a CT15B turbo. A Gen1 and Gen2 manifold are the same, Gen3 is different, and Gen4/5 is different.

I see. Thank you very much. I have also read that the Gen4 transmission has a VSS issue that is not compatible with the 98 rav4 is there a way to convert that so if I go with a Gen4 I will have a speedo?

I sadly don't know much about the wiring aspect however I will say a few folks in the first generation Rav4 group on Facebook have gotten their speedo to work.

@bornloser_182 howzit! I'm on Oahu. I've got a Cusco racing front strut bar for sale if you're interested. I decided to lift my RAV instead of race-spec it. Probably a better fit in your build.
