according to the official history pages on the sti site...
improvements for the version 3 were:
better cooling due to re-design of the front of block. Also general improvement in engine strength especially the cylinder head and bolts.
lighter,lower friction pistons with less vibration + better stability at high speeds,
the piston skirt is also much shorter and the materials used superior.
fwiw - the sti 3 also had uprated brakes and a stiffer body shell than the sti2.
it also states that the rev limit was increased from 7500 to 7900 rpm = +400 revs
doubtless someone will now contradict this though ;-)
