Differences between turbo and non turbo

[AndyZ]

Hi

 

I'm new to the forum and have my new non turbo manual Supra arriving in a couple of weeks. It has some accident damage so I'll need some body panels to get it looking nice again.

 

Can any one tell me what differences there are at the front of the car between a twin turbo and non turbo. Specifically bumpers, radiators, oil coolers and anything else that is at the front.

 

Thanks

would imagine all bodywork should be same. you can look at engine and see its not a turbo straight away.

 

also on drivers side facing car in vent is where the twin turbo keeps the standard intercooler. the non turbo dont have one. the cooler for transmission on an auto is built into radiator.

 

cant see there been any trouble. theres a few non turbo owners on here who you could ask or do a search for info. always finds things if you play about with the search.

 

have fun

Thanks very much for your help.

 

I'll let you know how my "restoration" goes when it arrives from Japan. I was considering buying another damaged one and using the bits from that to fix the original one, hence the "compatibilty" question.

 

Thanks
