SilverSoop Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi all, as you are probably aware, my Turbo's are on the way out and need replacing... I have a few member's on here who want to sell their Turbo's... Is there any difference of Turbo's from a Non-VVTi and a VVTi?? Will it just be a straight swap over??

bolarbag Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 If you dont mind me asking whats the mileage of your car? Why so many problems if it was only imported in the last couple of years and is a late model? How bad are your turbos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) If you dont mind me asking whats the mileage of your car? Why so many problems if it was only imported in the last couple of years and is a late model? How bad are your turbos? My Supe has 86k now but had 81.5k on the clock which I have the mileage confirmation when I bought the car, but anyway, I have alot of oil coming out of the BOV and into the Intercooler. You see the oil because it was starting to appear out of the end of my BOV hose which is connected to the turbo outlet pipe... Basically I think it is a combination of the HKS mushroom filter that when I took it apart, I found a large amount of silt in the intake pipe. That couldn't of done the turbo's any good plus the fact of 8 boost leaks that I had from my vac hose lines which have now all been replaced... I thought something was up when I saw the oil so I took her to James at Toyota GT, where he did a leak down test which confirmed that both of the Turbo's are on the way out. No1 is alot worse than No2 but nonetheless, both nees replacing... Edited October 14, 2008 by SilverSoop (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Gutter, someone should be along shortly to confirm whether pre vvti turbos fit vvti cars, never ventured into the VVti specs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The J-spec turbos are interchangeable between the VVTi and non-VVTi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 The J-spec turbos are interchangeable between the VVTi and non-VVTi. Phew!! I remember someone telling me a while ago that the VVTi turbo's are different to the Pre-Facelift's... At least that's been cleared up, thanks again Nic...

The original non-VVTi turbos have now been discontinued and the EPC now lists the VVTi turbos parts number as an alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ok because I *think* the turbo's that I was looking at was from a '96 supe which has covered 70k.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I'd say keep looking around unless you can get them checked out by someone first. 70k turbos won't be long until you add the miles to it and *might* start having issues again... but then again loads of people have had no issues with their's long after that mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to bring them to Suprapod so that I can take a look at them aswell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
