Guest ts1994 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I've seen a listing for a used 1994 Supra. I asked the owner if it was a turbo or non-turbo. They said it was a single turbo. I asked if they had converted it to a single and they told me it was an "original single turbo". I wasn't aware they made a single turbo version of the 93-98's? Is this real or is this guy full of crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraHuman Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 He is full of BS,Toyota never made a single turbo Supra in 1994. Welcome by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ts1994 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I thought so. I was beginning to think it was a scam. Did they make any single turbo MKIV's? I thought they were all non-turbo or twin. I suppose the owner could have bought it after someone else converted it to single and just not be a 'supra person' who researches their car and performs upgrades. How can I tell from the VIN if it has the good engine that the turbo cars have? In case someone took a non-turbo and put a single turbo kit on it. Thanks for the info and welcome.

geoffvalenti Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Have a look HERE under specs, for the VIN plate codes RZ, GZ and RZS are original TT cars, SZ and SZR are N/As Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKIVDreamer Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 There's also the possibility that its actually twin turbo, but the owner just can't tell a turbo from an o-ring. Check under the bonnet - if theres only one (big) turbo, tell him you'll take it at a cut down price as its missing one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivingTheDream Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I always get asked is it a single turbo? To which I reply and say "No its a twin". Then they're like "Ooooooooh wow even better!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyoungeone Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 hey guys just a idea, they did do a single turbo soarer, which they bought out in 97 as the face lift which was a 1jzgte 2.5 vvti. may be some one put that engine in the supra in stead as a upgrade from non turbo to turbo. like i said just an idea.

Keith C Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Is it definitely a MKIV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 thats my bet too, it's most probably a mk3. There are a few 94 mk3's about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ts1994 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 There's also the possibility that its actually twin turbo, but the owner just can't tell a turbo from an o-ring. A single is clearly visible in the attached pic. Looks like a MKIV to me, but I'm a supra n00b. Check under the bonnet - if theres only one (big) turbo, tell him you'll take it at a cut down price as its missing one I'll have to try that next time I see one with a single 700+hp setup for sale! Thanks for the help guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKIVDreamer Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 ok, well that clears it up - all MKIVs were twin turbo... He's talking crap EDITED to say: Looks nice from the outside, single, aerotop - engine bay looks a bit iffy though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ts1994 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Yea, thought the same about the engine bay. The car is out of state and I think its a scam. If I can physically go look at the car myself, then I'll get more serious. Thanks for the help everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
