All the pre-vvti ones look much alike but the VVTi ones are quite different. For a start there's 5 electrical sockets that plug into the vvti ECU. Hopefully the attached pics might help you tell which you have.
-
Isn't that an oxymoron?
-
yes, I know you're right but sometimes it's easier to not go into details (although I'm a pedant as well). As you say, the gearbox noise is caused because of the lightened flywheel, so it was near enough.
-
Got a photo of said ECU then matey? So we know what you're selling.
-
'tis a good point, there's no denying.
-
Yep. Sounds like a bag of spanners. Sounds even worse as the engine dies when you turn it off. Fact of life though mate with lightened flywheels. I wouldn't have another one TBH.

Mines idling at about 800rpm (Motec ECU, OSG twin plate and light weight flywheel, HKS 264 cams, built engine) ....but when I start it from hot the idle is all over the place for the first 10-20seconds. AFRs are wandering about between 15 and 17 at tickover. After say 30secs or so it settles down fine but before that it's prone to stalling. - - - - - Edit to add: This has only been an issue since I changed the exhaust. I guess the mapping wants tweaking to allow for the different restriction of the new zorst.

Blimey. That's Sig-worthy that is. http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/9993/disabledqt2.jpg

I didn't think VVTi came out until late 97?
-
Just out of interest, how can you tell it's got a TRD diff rather than the stock Toyota torsen diff?
-
Well I've never heard that before! Can anyone else confirm this? VVTi isn't electronic ignition, it's variable valve timing on the intake camshaft.
-
Were 17" wheels ever standard on the NA? I thought upgrading to TT size wheels and tyres was an optional extra.
-
At least it's better than posting with a subject like "Help!"
-
Is it? (I presume you're talking about vvti NA Supras, 'cos the VVTi TT alternator is in the same place as on the older pre-VVTi ones)
-
Not on the NA.

Views on the auto versus the manual gearbox
Jake replied to Dark Angel's topic in Technical Discussions
Huh? What was that about a fan? Would you mind writing your posts in English please mate? Life's too short for me to have to figure out what the hell you were trying to say. Thanks. -
So did mine (the white one)
-
no 245/45/18 is too high anyway. 265/35/18 is nearer to the stock rolling radius. - - - - - - - edit to add: You'll want 245/40/18 on the front, not 245/45/18 - - - - - - -

CW has a point. I rely on Sat Nav to get me everywhere I don't know. I don't even look at the route I just bung the destination into TomTom and blindly go where it tells me. Usually that works fine but yesterday I need to go to Leicester but when I got to the M1 it was closed because of an accident. I told TomTom to avoid the m1 for the next 3 miles and find an alternative - which usually works fine - but this time it just said "No route found" - bloody marvellous.
-
Which one?

Thinking about people saying the Supra is getting common. I've driven 400 miles today. Portsmouth >London >Leicester >Northampton > Oxford > Newbury > Southampton > Portsmouth and I didnt see ONE single Supra. I saw 7 Porsche Cayennes, 6 BMW X5s (both of which I'm considering for my next car), 1 BMW X3 and 14 various 911s and two Boxsters (barf). I always thought X5s were common but it seems like there's more Cayennes around here and London nowadays. So much for the Supra being common.
