VVTi NA do they exist?

Quite a few people have talked about the facelift non turbo supra having a VVTi engine but nobody seams to have one. I think this was true for the american market but jdm facelift non turbos have the normal lasre engine according to japanese brouchure. Has any seen or owns a right hand drive VVti NA pictures would be great. I have a 94 sz manual and was thinking of buying a face lift and thought VVti would be nice?

A guy on here has a 2002 vvti, I've asked for some pics so he will post up soon, and that would be the first RHD VVTI n/a engine pic I would have seen, it's weird though as I've seen countless 98/99/00's still with the non vvti engine

Just to add,

some pics, this one a 1998 n/a, no vvti engine

2001 n/a still no vvti,

now the guy that has the 2002 his is an SZ which was still a 5 speed where as the SZ-r got the 6 speed getrag after facelift so I thought maybe the SZ-r also got the VVTi too, but I'm not sure yet

This one is suppose to be VVTi NA, I'd be interested to see some engine bay pics also.

interesting how those n/a's aren't vvti but still use coil packs (if that's what i'm seeing in the centre of the intake)

EDIT: vvti n/a

mercilessly ripped from Matlees garage - looks a bit like my non vvti engine bay

I'm still on convinced as the picture of an american VVTi supra that i saw on the net had quite a diiference cam cover and had VVTi written on it. It looks like this one just says twin cam 24V?

Indeed, I think thats that point we're making, so far all the late NA engine bays we've seen have been Non VVTI, so we're itching to see pictures of SupraPLs 2002 supe

Yep as Faye says, the US market got the vvti, weirder though is that other toyota's around the same time in Japan all got vvti's too,the soarer,chaser,aristo, so it looks like they never did with the n/a, we'll see though.

I've heard of some on the australian site but again no one has put up pics so they probably havent, this is the USDM vvti bay,

Correct, definitely a non-VVTi 2JZGE engine.

Ah ha, I've dug out my sales brochure. I can't remember if the year was 2000 or 2002 - however here is a pic of the engines available.

Quite

Iv got a facelift Sz-R 2000 reg 6 speed

But there is no VVti written on the engine

we need a engine bay shot of "SupraPL" 's car..........(BAZ78 's old one)............

All this talk makes me want to get a right hand drive non turbo VVti if they exist (Ahhh an extra 5bhp and 10 foot pounds)

There are none on the Australian site

In that case, I wonder if the use of it in the US market was an emissions and marketing exercise?
