Homer Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 They were available on NA and TT from 97 I beleive (though 97's had a mix of nonVVTi and VVTi cars). A 2000 NA will be a VVTi for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Some of the later model NA's came with the VVTi engine, they are extremely rare though, only ever seen 2 members on here with a VVTi NA. There are Supercharger kits available for the VVTi NA, which would be an interesting mod to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Well, the one in your garage is no VVTi, thats for sure. Do you have details from the VIN plate, like the model and chassis number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Thanks have posted up picture of my engine on my garage. let me know what you think VVTI or no. looks nothing like the one above. oh well... thanks again guys. It is not a VVTi, you can see the distributor on the LHS, the VVTi's have electronic ignition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I can't see how it can be a y2k Supra if it's not a VVTi. What's the chassis number? That'll tell us for sure (PM me if you don't want to post it here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffvalenti Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 From the number in your garage, it looks like a June 2000 car. Where are you getting the number from, the Vin plate or the stamping on the firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I wonder if it is one of those cock ups at the dvla with registering the car ? A few cars have come up that were registered as newer than they actually were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
