I just spoke to Toyota at Camden.
There is a listing price for it to be installed at $530, but the manager there thinks that it may take some extra time and may cost around $700 installed.
I'm positive it was less than both those figures when i had my 100k and 200k done, but still at those prices not too bad for a dealer.
Gee, some of those bigger prices - does it come with KY and a cuddle??

dudeman,. can you get a list of what that does and doesn't include? there's no way a water pump, tension bearings etc wuld be inculded at that price.
 
pump's are $110-200 (depedning on the parts sales rep)
bearings are $50+ each
tensioner $60-100
cam seals another $15 each etc
timing belt $60-80
 
add the rest of the servicing prices like oil, coolant filters etc and labour.

Thats for the belt and install only.

this gives a good idea of whats involved http://www.mr2.com/ARTICLE/TimingBeltSW20.html (edit for turbo)

^ But not the prices that are quoted.

I agree with just_ace's post on parts cost, depending on where you get them.
But if scourcing parts yourself, be aware there are some diferences depending on the model.
 
I got my timing belt stuff  from Road and Track.
Much better prices than the local Toyota dealer, and they helped me get the right parts for my motor. (There are different types of rollers, tensioners, belts etc.)

Got mine done last month in south west sydney for 740 bucks
Replaced with genuine parts
-timing belt
-water pump
-cam shaft seal
-crank shaft seal front
-oil pump seal and gasket
-timing belt idler bearing
-timing belt tension bearing

^wow that sounds really cheap!
NA or turbo? 

Really thanks for all your info and advice, sorry have been too occupied recently didn't even check in the forum

Yea I'll have to be very careful if getting my own parts i.e. specifying 92' NA 3S-GE, and I am looking at the repair manual for the parts no. too


But wow, Eric your price seems so unreal! Would love to know which mechanic was that?!

MRTurbo is was for a '89 turbo. Drew like i said I had to wait for the parts to arrive and had it done in a week and a half. If you could find all those parts yourself you may be able to save alot of time.
