How do I tell which engine

Post by rae finlayson »

I have a Mk2 rev2 turbo. How can I tell which engine is fitted, if it is the 227hp, 234hp or 241hp

OK, easiest thing to do is post a pic of the engine for us to identify...

Thisng to look for?

On early engines there is an AFM behind the air filter, this is a big silver lump. Also check the rocker cover. If "Toyota" is stamped on this, then it's an early engine. Later 3S-GTE engines also had an Oil catch can suspended above the rocker cover....

Thanks for the reply mr2jay. There is no Toyota stamped on the rocker cover. Here's a couple of pics.
