years dont vary. im not sure about n/a and turbo.. but i would think that the only differences would be in parts that would be different between the two.. example the 3000 pipe or like cps or distributor.. etc...
for ones without length.. just go by memory and by what works.. i gueesss lol... unless you have someone else that has torn it apart and sort of memorized the bolts or have another engine there to look at.

Just find a place for them to go. No difference between years or turbo or not. Could even use bolts off different toyotas.

when I take my engines apart I just throw all my bolts in a bucket. In the end its just counting your bolts and your holes. But I have torn into my engines so many times I pretty much know where every bolt goes.

Egg cartons or fish tackle boxes and small Tupperware work well. Also gotta have a couple/few of those magnetic base bowls for sockets and "groupings" of nuts and bolts as you remove them. Either that for short-term stuff... or if you're doing it for a LOOONG time (if you are not sure... it will be LONGER than you think) then bag-em and tag-em in Ziplock sandwich bags or use white tape and label tubes, wires, couplers and such.


G/L with the bucket-o-bolts, too...



PS: ALWAYS take SHARP, CLEAR PHOTOS of your motor all together and at stages of dis-assembly. Also get close-ups of key critical things for reference later. These can save the day if done right.;)

Not that it matters now, but if you can thread the bolt into the hole of a bracket after you take it off, it keeps track of it when you don't. Next time.

300 HP is quite a reach, stock pistons or aftermarket.

I was actually making a full list of where all the bolts and everything went add showing what size and all goes where, but after 2 hours and I still didnt have the head off yet I decided screw the pictures and just go the car done. But as for me I just put them all on a magnet tray, but then again I can always remember where every bolt goes, partially because memory and partially because I have built way too many 7m's. As far as making sure they go in the right place a rule of thumb is when you put the bolt in the hole there should be around 1/4 to 1/2 an inch sticking out of the hole when it hits threads but you have not started threading yet. Not all of them follow this rule but most do.
