Toyota turbo rebuilds and upgrades

Asking about a Toyota turbo rebuild or upgrade? Here are the factory turbos on the 1JZ-GTE and 2JZ-GTE, the 3S-GTE in the MR2 and Celica GT-Four and the GR Yaris, and what to send GP Turbos in Scunthorpe.

Toyota's turbocharged engines

Toyota's JZ straight-sixes use CT-series turbos, from the twin CT12A units on the first 1JZ-GTE to the sequential pair on the Supra's 2JZ-GTE. The GR Yaris has an IHI turbo on ball bearings, and the A90 GR Supra uses BMW's B58 six with a single twin-scroll turbo, shared with several BMW models.

Toyota has not been part of GP Turbos' past listings, so each enquiry starts from the original turbo and its part number. A rebuild returns it to standard; a hybrid keeps the original housings, upgrades the internals and needs supporting modifications and a matched calibration.

GP Turbos is independent of Toyota. Model names are used only to identify which cars a turbo fits.

Toyota engines and their factory turbos

Supra A80 (2JZ-GTE)

Japanese-market cars had CT20-series turbos with ceramic wheels; export cars had the CT12B, with more robust turbine housings and stainless steel blades.

1JZ-GTE

The first version ran two CT12A turbos in parallel; the later VVT-i version switched to a single CT15B.

GR Yaris and GR Corolla (G16E-GTS)

A 1,618 cc three-cylinder with a single-scroll, ball-bearing turbo made by IHI.

MR2 and Celica GT-Four (3S-GTE)

The third-generation engine of 1994–99 went into the SW20 MR2 and the ST205 Celica GT-Four. Earlier versions differ, so check the label on your turbo.

Send GP Turbos your Toyota's model, engine and turbo part number to find out what can be done.
