suprakid95 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) havent posted here in quite some time guys. but here it goes. After driving around in my good ol 1993 supra Twin turbo auto, i decided it was now time to upgrade. So i sold that, and i have been looking, and finally found one. it is on the way here to Canada, and will arrived in 2 weeks from the best importer in canada. Its a 1998 Supra Twin turbo VVTI 6 speed manual V161. I am quite exited about this, car seems to be in beautiful condition from the pictures. However now i am sort of worried, as people are telling me it kind of hard to find parts for these beauties. And im not really truly understanding the difference between the V160 and the V161 on the 98. Does the clutch system from the v160 fit on the v161?? Also can someone please post me a reliable website that is fairly cheap that i can order, stock and aftermarket parts for it?? Does the HKS TI cat back exhaust system from the non vvti fit the vvti model? thanks in advance guys. Sorry for asking about which website has good fairly cheap parts for it, because i am from Canada and these vvti models never came here.

suprakid95 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 also is the whole stock twin turbo assembly and charge pipes exactly the same as the non vvti ? or have they made some changes to those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Looks like you'll need to pay your subs to find out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Exhausts are the same...only difference is the first decat pipe. Clutches as far as I am aware will be the same also but the gearing is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nicholas Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 V161 has shorter gear ratios with a longer final drive IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprakid95 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 thanks for the replies. I see that there is a bit of an argument about the vvti turbo model having the same steel shaft turbo's as the usdm non vvti engines? and how much does a bone stock vvti turbo model 6 speed make to the crank? i found out 290whp but im wondering to the crank?

suprakid95 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 also will a front mount intercooler kit with piping for a non vvti 2jz gte supra, fit the vvti 2jz gte supra?? Cause i see that the throttle body look a little different, so im wondering if the diameter is the same as the non vvti throttle body, and if the non vvti after market intercooler pipe will fit over the vvti throttle body perfectly fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
