Is this a real Turbo A engine?

[lagged]

I don't see an AFM. But I really doubt that's the original Turbo A turbocharger, so hell - as far as I'm concerned, it's not a vintage Turbo A, that would be worth some $$. This is just a modded 7MGTE

oh lets just completely forget about the turbo A head, the MAF set up and various other things. :icon_conf

try reading up a little more. mkiiitech.com

Looks like a Turbo A to me.

I thought the TurboA was just a stock motor with a few external bolton's by Toyota?

It was the GroupA motor that was a very different and desirable beast.

There is no MAF setup, and yeah, it's got a bigger TB, bigger 3000 pipe that's not stamped, etc etc.

None of that, imho, really matters. MAFT-Pro + Ron's FFIM + Q45 TB = hell of a lot better.

The head, now, that could be interesting... all I've found over on mkiiitech.com is a pic of the combustion chamber - nothing a good port/polish wouldn't take care of.

TurboA uses a stock head.....

Certainly looks to be a Turbo A engine , Or at least Turbo-A Aux parts

TurboA: Homologation special road car to get some parts approved for the race cars

GroupA: Actual race car with lots of good parts ie: My Magnesium Pan

 

[Jeff Lange]

It's a Turbo A motor. Or at least, a 7M-GTE running on Turbo A electronics/accessories. The part number on the ECU is for a Turbo A, whether it says 92 or not has nothing to do with it.

The Turbo A motor had a larger turbo, no AFM, and a larger 3000 pipe, that is almost the entire extent of the changes.

 

[TurboWarrior]

The 3000 pipe on a Turbo-A is the same size on both ends and does not say "3000" it is blank. I had one my jdm motor came with it which made me wonder if mine was turbo-a at one time. But I don't think it is because the turbo was the same

what does that Magnesium Pan actualy do?

then you did not have a turboA pipe. I had a blank one also that was non turbo-a

there was a turbo-a pipe on ebay a week ago, it was not bottlenecked.

ViR: It holds 8+qts has lots of baffles and louvres and helps with the block ridgidity!
