Supra Gaz Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 It's a vvti n/a 2jzGe with a rubbish white cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 So not all na's are vvti? is there any advantage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 It's the GE lump from a GS300/Aristo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 It's the GE lump from a GS300/Aristo Ok thanks. Is it a newer engine than the one in the Supra then? Im assuming it would out more power being vvti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Probably not more power, but a broader torque curve and slightly better economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hmmm thanks for the replies. I wonder how much one goes for....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Found one Might have a think about trading up for one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 £495 according to ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 £495 according to ebay Definitely going to to look into this. Guessing i could buy a bare block and would just need a new ecu. Any members on here had one of these in the Supra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Ok thanks. Is it a newer engine than the one in the Supra then? Im assuming it would out more power being vvti. These where put into the Supra as standard but only in the later USDM spec's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 These where put into the Supra as standard but only in the later USDM spec's Ok thanks. i would imagine i could get hold of one quicker from a car other than a us spec Supra.

scott87 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Oh apparently they put out less hp. Only 212, isnt the standard 2jzge 240. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 They put out 220 iirc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 They put out 220 iirc? Cool thanks. Yer so a 8bhp loss then, but more torque. Would be interested to see or drive one running this engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Power is a function of torque, power doesnt really mean a lot anyway Drive a Mk2 GS300, its the same engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Good point. I was thinking of getting a spare engine anyway so may get one of these rather than standard 2jz. For some reason though the vvti looks nicer :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 It looks pretty clean on the pic. I think that's because of the black painted/powdercoated intake, tb and valve covers. Regards, Herb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkpower Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 pre facelift 2JZ-GE should be 220bhp and the VVTi should be 225bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I can't see that it would be worth your time to do it If you're going to the trouble of an engine swap, a TT transplant would be more beneficial surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I can't see that it would be worth your time to do it If you're going to the trouble of an engine swap, a TT transplant would be more beneficial surely Insurance? Technically it's the same engine so you wouldn't necessarily declare it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
