just wondering as i was looking through an auction listing and i saw an 87 supra w/ 117000mi. It didnt specify if it was turbo/na but it does have the vin# I was wondering if theres anyway to decipher if it is turbo or not, because i dont want to drive all the way out there for an n/a. thanks!

Turbo should start jt2ma71, n/a should start jt2ma70

The 8th number of the VIN number is the engine code, the digit will be different depending on whether it's turbo or not.
I ran down and checked my 87 turbo, but unfortunately mine is rubbed off pretty well, so I can't tell you what it would be, I think the above method would work as well though. Why do you want to know anyhow?
