Guest Dorian Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Quite a few people have talked about the facelift non turbo supra having a VVTi engine but nobody seams to have one. I think this was true for the american market but jdm facelift non turbos have the normal lasre engine according to japanese brouchure. Has any seen or owns a right hand drive VVti NA pictures would be great. I have a 94 sz manual and was thinking of buying a face lift and thought VVti would be nice?

Tom Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 A guy on here has a 2002 vvti, I've asked for some pics so he will post up soon, and that would be the first RHD VVTI n/a engine pic I would have seen, it's weird though as I've seen countless 98/99/00's still with the non vvti engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Just to add, some pics, this one a 1998 n/a, no vvti engine 2001 n/a still no vvti, now the guy that has the 2002 his is an SZ which was still a 5 speed where as the SZ-r got the 6 speed getrag after facelift so I thought maybe the SZ-r also got the VVTi too, but I'm not sure yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 This one is suppose to be VVTi NA, I'd be interested to see some engine bay pics also. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=101860 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 interesting how those n/a's aren't vvti but still use coil packs (if that's what i'm seeing in the centre of the intake) EDIT: vvti n/a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dorian Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I'm still on convinced as the picture of an american VVTi supra that i saw on the net had quite a diiference cam cover and had VVTi written on it. It looks like this one just says twin cam 24V? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Indeed, I think thats that point we're making, so far all the late NA engine bays we've seen have been Non VVTI, so we're itching to see pictures of SupraPLs 2002 supe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like this one just says twin cam 24V? Yep as Faye says, the US market got the vvti, weirder though is that other toyota's around the same time in Japan all got vvti's too,the soarer,chaser,aristo, so it looks like they never did with the n/a, we'll see though. I've heard of some on the australian site but again no one has put up pics so they probably havent, this is the USDM vvti bay, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faye Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Ah ha, I've dug out my sales brochure.

Guest Dorian Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 All this talk makes me want to get a right hand drive non turbo VVti if they exist (Ahhh an extra 5bhp and 10 foot pounds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith C Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 In that case, I wonder if the use of it in the US market was an emissions and marketing exercise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
