tried searching but no luck, what is the difference between ma70 and ma71? My VIN says ma71 but my firewall is printed with ma70, wtf is going on with that
ma70 vs ma71
- Thread starter cwapface
- Start date
Its also not totally accurate. 71s were supposed to be turbo and 70s were NAs. However, from what I remember it was something like they ran short on the 71 chassis they started just making 70 turbos too, I'm assuming thats what you've got.
sounds like he has a normal one. all supras were stamped MA70 on the firewall, but the turbo VINs have 71 in them,
both chassis are exactly the same.IIRC again. even the 86 model had a hole in the inner fender for the intercooler pipe. stuff like that :eek3dance

My bad Joe... I just went down to verify for sure that it said MA71; you were correct. It as well says MA70. Could have sworn it was 71, but I guess I was reading it somewhere else.

:slap: haha. jk
probably just remembering from looking at your VIN. should say 71 there and 70 on the firewall
I really have no idea how many times this has come up or I've had to post it, heh.
There is no MA71 Chassis, they're all MA70.
MA71 is used in the VIN/Model Code to denote a Turbo model, that's it. Toyota does it all the time. AE86 GT-S models have AE88 in the VIN, AE86 Chassis, etc.

Okay, I'm just going to stop posting until i see for sure some of these facts... Seems like reciently I have been saying a lot of the wrong things from people giving bad advice/fone facts.
Soo... I'll lurk from now on

Meh, everyone is wrong on occasion. I've spent the last year trying to squash the MA70/71 myth.
As far as VIN's go, MA71 was used in North America, Europe and other places do not use the same VIN format we do, and Toyota did things differently around the world.
Wow...Exactly one year ago to this day was the last post...sort of weird that I just now decided to search this down but hey, it shows that I search!
So...In some video's I've watched, they will say MA71 Power...when really, it is only MA71 by Title, but it's truly an MA70...correct?
