My understanding is that there were 151E's (1600) and 152E'S (2 litre) that were produced in Japan and the 151E was fitted to the car that won in Finland. I assume that as TTE was a fledgling operation in those days, they arranged for Schnitzer to develop the engine for them. Schnitzer then and now were a tuning business.

 

If you look at "Lakes 5" above, there is the comment that the 2 litre engine was to go into the Celica, as it wasn't homologated for the Corolla. The following season TTE's efforts moved to Celica's

 

Of interest, the guy who apparently owns the original 1000 Lakes TE27 now, has uploaded the homologation documents that came with the car. You can see them here: https://www.flickr.c...s/23909393@N04/, complete with chassis number.

 

Edit: there are also some rather interesting photo's.

 

Schnitzer went on to develop wild Turbo engines for RA Celica's for the German DTM series
