from my experience with japanese engines, i would suggest that it is the same. my supra had the same head for both turbo and non turbo and i dont see why they would spend the extra money on a different casting for the head instead of just casting one for everything.

also, the injectors are peak and hold and the mk3 supra 440cc injectors can be used.

the alternator from the ka24e can be used with no modification.

and most importantly, the second vacuum canister(not charcoal canister) is VERY necessary. i experienced SERIOUS torque losses up to 4000 rpm as well as noticing that my car RAN LEAN on the low end until i installed the vacuum canister and vacuum switch per the instructions on NICO. this system controls the butterfly valves in the intake, and unless you drastically change your tune(not just chip the ecu), the CA ecu is not going to like not having control of these butterflys.
