CARLOS SAINZ GT4 ST185 Engine - Anyone know of these?...

anyone know much about these 'Carlos Sainz' limited edition GT4 engines? (ST185). I'm looking at buying an unfinished project with a really tidy and nice running engine. I'm only looking at it to part out and sell on but not sure if this Carlos Sainz title makes anything worth money?...
 
The guy who owns it reckons these Carlos Sainz engines produced a little bit more horsepower than the MR2 3SGTE's but I find it hard to believe. 

I was thinking of selling a 'Conversion Kit' off at around $1200 but not sure if i should put more on it?
 
Advice welcomed - Cheers!.

    Only 10hp more. They had a bigger afm than std gt4s. They had a better intercooler system than std gt4s. Larger inducer on turbo and steel turbine.

    What is the engine in. If its the Carlos S model car, the money is in everything else but the motor. I've got a feeling the factory boost in the ecu is a bit more in the CS models. Not sure . . .

    its in a ST185 celiac but not a Sainz celica. 
     
    I'm just going to grab whats good on it and probably take the rest to scrap metal yard as the paint is in between being finished, has no headlight lids etc. But the engine is very clean, Kicking myself I didn't find it before building the engine in my car or I would have just brought this thing and installed.
