tt engine

can someone confirm if this a supra engine or an aristo engine thanks

as im looking to buy it for my tt conversion cheers

Either way it looks like a bit of a dog!

Looks like a Supra engine to me

Don't suppose you have any pics of the sump? Either way, gonna need a few quid spent, looks like the wiring has been chopped and will need lots of hoses and coil packs etc.

not got any of sump, it doesnt come with the wiring loom so not bothered about the wiring and hoses im not too bothered about just didnt want to buy it and it be an aristo engine, what do u think? i can get it for £750 delivered, worth it?

Not a bad price... Does it come with the box? What you doing with the engine? any mods? You gotta think about adding loom/ECU/ and all those pipes along with coil packs. That'll all add up mate. Not to much of an issue if it's an aristo, just need to mod it slightly.

without box will be using my 5 speed box and i know the main prob is getting hold of a tt loom, i dont want to buy it if its an aristo engine though as there is a list of about 10 different things compared to the supra engine that i found on here, not sure what to do weather to go for it or not, how much will a set of coilpacks set me back? used or new

You say there is no sump on it? that would put me right off unless you are going to rebuild it.

there is a sump on it i just dont have a picture of the sump, engine comes with 30 day warrenty from a breakers

I have my old coil packs that are in good condition I could sell.

Got ya, seems a good price then if its a supra lump.

yeh well i asked them and they said they are quoting me for a supra engine so it definatley is but i dont really know which is why i got them to send me pics and ive posted them on here to see if anyone can tell if it is or not

also does anyone know if this is the vvti engine? or how you can tell if it is or not cheers

Definately not a VVTi engine mate. Its the old school beast! The VVTi, basically looking at it, has a lump sticking out the front of the cam pulley area (easiest way to describe it). It's got no plug cover on it which would have VVTi on it if it was.

look at the water pump/Fan mounting, If its an Aristo it will have rubber hoses for the hydrolic fan

ahh ok cheers bud, is it much of a loss not having the vvti engine? just still unsure weather to go for this as its a good price

Its not early Aristo anyway because they dont have that vacuum feed on top of the intale manifold, but by looking at the engine on a pallet like that you cant really tell unless, like mentioned above, you can see the sump. I wouldnt buy that, its in a right state.

My old Mk1 Aristo TT engine :-

The VVTi engine is down to personal choice mate. Only ever driven 1 personally but it was running a single so can't really compare. If you asked everyone with a VVTi they'll tell you they are better, same as the other way round.. Personally, if it's a real genuine supra engine, rather than a aristo lump then go for it. BUT... maybe do your homework first and check the prices of all the other pieces you need and see if it will still work out economical to buy that engine.

Good point mate

right im going to get a pic of the sump monday morning what are the differences from the supra and aristo sumps? also will having a non vvti engine limit me in any way? and cause me any extra problems when doing the conversion as my na is vvti thanks for all your responses so far!

Check this mate... Few things needed if its an aristo:

Was the sump taken off or broken in the crash? If it was cracked/broken off the engine might be a bad one as it may have turned over with no oil and also been open to the elements. Looks like a lot of work needed but if the price is low and you don't mind the risk it could work out for you

The looms for these can be quite hard to find and not cheap to buy, so factor that in too. A new one is over £1k.

BTW, I think I can see part of the sump plate in the last picture..

The vac lines appear to be in the config of a supra rather than aristo, so it does seem to be a supra engine.

Fitting a non-VVTi lump to a VVTi will present a number of issues, primarily the wiring. Does the engine come with the ECU and main harness?

no the sump was never taken off or damaged mate

It's got the Supra water pump on it as has a 4 bolt fixing for the pulley, the Aristo one has just one centre fixing, it also has the Supra throttle body on it (denoted by the ETCS and not TRC as per the Aristo), along with the vacuum take off pipe, so I'd say it's came out of a Supra.

HTH

Are you sure your NA is VVTi? There's been a few threads about these in the past few years, but they've only been verified in the US market. The easy way to check is if it has the bulge in front of the intake cam pulley
