1980s TOYOTA TEST ENGINES Who knows about this???

[Gttwinturbomk3]

Hi fellow toyota owners,

I was having a dicussion with someone over here the other day and have now really wanted to no the answers about this and have been thinking to myself if its true or not.....

On this Toymods club there is the most knowledge i think that can proberly be known about toyotas somewhere discussed or either known from members and just not talked about, in other words i dont think there is much about toyota that someone doesnt no in this club!

Which is leading to my next point in saying that if this is true the answer should be found here?

What i was talking to this person about was the fact that he says he has got a ma61 toyota celicaxx or celica supra, and he says it has got a 5MZZU engine in it which was made by toyota in the very early 1981 year and only about 15 or so where produced and his is one of them.
I am wanting to see this in person for myself and get photos to know for sure if it really does exist but until i can find that out it will be a strange mystery.
Apparently the car was sourced around five years ago here in nz for cheap and then a big difference was spotted under the hood with a twin supercharged 2.8 5m engine there and running factory 9psi boost and was deemed unsuccessful by trd and toyota. if this is true this must be very rare, even more so than my factory intercooled mteu ma63 mk2.

Does anyone know or heard of this? or can we say that this is all a load of s*&t!!

Cheers

5mzzu ?? sound like shit. doesnt even sound like a genuine toyota engine code. eg, no 'e' ?? so a carby twin SC 5m meeting 'u' emissions requirements? eh?

heh twin supercharged. madness..

[HAVABEER]

could someone have just added the supercharger before the guy bought it, and the guy is just claiming its a stock engine?

email the nice folks at toyota, i'm sure someone over there could help you out?

Twin supercharged to me just doesn't seem to make sense on a straight-six.....

Do Toyota repeat the code letters for Supercharge and Turbocharged if its a twin setup =\ I thought it was just 1G-GTE not 1G-GTTE

[wilbo666]

I also call BS

I look forward to being proven wrong tho

Nope, it's always just been the one letter, same with the JZs.

thanks for the comments fellas,

yes thats what i thought too, there was the zz series engines but not zz for twin supercharged, i dont think there has even been twin supercharged engine before?

If this guy happened to show me and i ever got to see it in person, the first thing i will be doing is posting the pics and firewall plate of it straight up to here!

but more likely its been done buy someone else later on, if it even exists not by toyota.

I will email toyota and find out more about anything like this....

until then though its all confirmed BS

[Sagluren]

i am also calling bs... i have heard of a twin charge engine toyota were playing with but it was more recent and discontinued anyhow...


cheers

koenseigg ccx is twin blown, but they are rotrex blowers, and obviously not a toyota.

just thought ide share because i am of the opinion the koenseiggs are the frieken balls.

[wagonist]

And I remember a HKS kit from the 80s/90s that added a turbo to the 4A-GZE.

But why would there be a need to have 2 superchargers for a 2.8L engine? Unless you're using 2 from the 4A (SC12?).
