1987 Twin Turbo
 

So I have an 87 Twin Turbo RHD
Everything mechanical is stock on my car
It says Twin Turbo on my engine and on the back of the car
The thing is, I can't find another 1987 Twin Turbo
Does anyone else have an 87 Twin Turbo or know anyone with one?
I'm thinking my car might be way more rare than I originally thought but I'm not gonna believe that until I hear replies from other Supra owners
(I can't find specs for an 87 TT anywhere!) :nuts:

i noticed that its right hand drive, which prolly means it was imported privately from Japan. In Japan they get to make many different versions of supras and gtr's ect. The motor doesnt look like a motor swap. But could you find a name for it? 1jz? 2jz? im not sure if they made a 7m tt..tho i kno you can get a kit for it. Very intersting car. cool too. Be an awesome project.

It probably has the 1ggte 2.0 twin turbo engine. that would be my guess as it doesnt look like a 7m or 1jz.

it's a 3.0L straight 6
i will take more pics and post them
different angles of the engine bay, the back of the car
this car confuses the shit out of me. lol

P.S. the only thing the previous owner said about the car was that it has a J-spec TT engine.

Thats weird man. It doesn't look like any engine I've ever seen in a Supra. You might be able to run the VIN number to find out what the engine code is.

That is correct.

How can it be correct if its 3.0L? im guessing its either a speacil edition made only in japan that got imported privatly, or someone put the HKS twin turbo kit on it with decals...at least i think its HKS that makes the kit..kno someone dose..

well actaully it is the 1ggte. was the last of the g serise motors. you have got quite a rare car my man. Tho the stock hp out put isnt as much as the 7mgte. It dose have 2 CT-12 turbos. Fix it up man and let her rip!!

It's not a 3.0L it's a 2.0L.

no it's not
I own the car
I think I know better if it's a 2.0L or a 3.0L

Really? I don't think you know better...

i'm going to appoligize right now
i'm sorry man
when i got the car i assumed it was a 3.0L because all the other ones I saw were 3.0L so I got it in my head that it said 3.0L on the engine
that's the only reason I was so stubborn about the whole 3.0L thing
I figured I know better because I can see it on my engine but I realized this and checked my engine and there are no markings
so as far as I know it is a 2.0L then which sucks
when I bought the car I thought I was getting a 3.0L
any suggestions as to whether I should fix up this engine or just do a complete engine swap?
and the other thing I'm wondering is lets say that I swap with a 7MGTE, can I keep my turbos? I love my turbos and will be reluctant to do a swap if it means I'm left with none or a single turbo

The only swap you should consider is a 2.5L 1jz-gte. It is also a twin turbo motor. You will need a R-154 tranny for it as well.

Whats wrong with the 2.0L? i think its pretty cool. If you upgrade it alot you shld have a super high reving motor that would be rare and differant.

you're lookin at about 280 horses with the 2.5L 1jz-gte right?
sounds good to me
a high rpm enigine would be cool too though but I'm looking for the power more I think
either way I still gotta do my manual transmission swap
this will all be alot easier now that I know what I'm running under the hood
my only hope right now is that my current engine is the 210hp version and not the 185hp model
if I dropped the 1jz-gte would I need to get new turbos?
I think I will eventually because mine are old and leaking where they connect but I would just like to know

If you buy a used 1jz twin turbo just buy it wit the turbos on it. They will be better turbos than what you have now

yeah that makes sense
how much do they go for used?

Well i thnk a used motor only is around 1000-1800. Again thats motor only and price will vary dpending pn what comes with it(ex. Ac, turbos, crusie control ect.) looking at you other post you said you wanted a maunual tranny too. You can buy that seperate or with the motor already attached. Im not sure how much the tranny costs byitself but with the 1jz its about 1500-2200 again depending on what come with it and the milage

Couple links for an idea of prices. This one is the engine, tranny, ECU, wiring harness, etc. This one is for just the engine.

thanks
 

i know you posted that awhile ago but thanks
i think i'm gonna buy that 1jz with the tranny and wiring and everything
the car is in storage for winter and i'm gonna start saving
i'm not sure if i should trust myself to install it or bring it to a shop and i don't know where i would go for that in Winnipeg MB, Canada
i also wonder how much i will get for my engine, tranny and all the wiring
i'm thinking maybe like $700-800? i dunno
i don't know who wants a 1ggte anyways. lol
