This Cant Be Right.......

[SupaMan]

After seeing a dipstick thread and wondering if mine was even a toyota dipstick i ordered a new one that was supposed to be correct and alot easier to read i got the part number from this post: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showpost.php?p=943798&postcount=16

I recived it today and its twice as long as my stock dip stick......what the hell is goin on here? im wondering if my dip stick tube was cut or something my dipstick has the same rubber seal but diffrent handle and its twice as short.

Heres a pic.

I have a n/a if it matters but i coulda sworn the dipstick tubes and oil pans on the n/a and turbo were the same.

Anybody have any info on this?

NA dipsticks are shorter than turbo dipsticks. Turbo comes up by the strut tower and bolted to the turbo, NA comes up towards the PS resevoir but much lower.

top stick is definitely the turbo stick. not sure on the bottom one, as i've never seen the n/a stick

 

[ValgeKotkas]

I have the bottom one, and I've pulled out the top one from a turbo car once

well that would be why.

learn somethin new everyday!

so uh......anybody need a dipstick

im an idiot i shoulda researched more before i bought but i guess i was trying to pretend my car was turbo :biglaugh:

The new Turbo ones are nice, you shouldn't have any problems reselling it.
