TT Engine life-expectancy?

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I'm on the way to buying a Supra TT and was wondering if I could get some advice on the engines. How many miles can the TT's usually run without encountering problems? I really want to avoid large service bills (blown turbos or what not) so is there a certain milage I can expect this sort of thing to start happening? Are there any known problems with the engines?

 

Any comments greatly appreciated!

 

Best regards,

Francis

one went on the trader recently with 250K+ mile too (just had a turbo refurb at this age).

 

Ancillaries 'can' go i believe eg starter motors alternators, but even this is rare, i'm sure the one CW services is all on the originals for instance.

 

I would say that i'm not sure these mileages are attainable (without problems) for cars running higher boost. I'd have no issues buying a high mile stock car.

there's plenty about, often even with the original limiter still on.

Plus when you've found a stock car how the hell are you going to resist modding it!!!! :D
