JohnA Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I'm sure I've seen a thread where there were pictures of them naked side by side. Anybody know if it's in this forum? I can't seem to find them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I'm interested in this too This is variations in J-spec 1993.5 to 1997 turbos, yes? I didn't know there were any... -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I always thought it was strange there was no difference in the facelift or VVTi turbo's compared with the original, thought they would have updated the wheels as technology moved on...but I too ain't seen anything about the turbo's being different.

Dragonball Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Cant find the article dammit - but it refers to Toyota using variation in parts in the ceramic turbos - something about CT20 internals? Speaking to both Turbo Dynamics and Turbo Developments both have found (when opening unstripped turbos) variations in the CT12 B (ceramic) turbos i.e. come with the same external features but sometimes come with different sized (CT20?) internals - journals sizes/wheels - and sometimes different compressors wheels As an aside - Turbo Dynamics commented they have found that approx one in 10 imports have come in with steel internals too It would make sense for Toyota to use up excess stock as they both fit the same housings - wonder if it makes a difference to the longetivity?

Guest Terry S Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 OK, can only assume these were rebuilt units rather than official TMC stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
