My supra was a none turbo supra and now it has a 7MGTE JDM engine installed and you have to switch EVERYTHING from the turbo to the non turbo, including the wire harness, drive shaft, and if you want half way decent gas mileage I would swap the rear end also, plus you already seen you have to get a R154 transmission......Then when you start installing everything you realize how many odds and ends your missing I/C piping, sensor's, vacuum hoses, and seriously the list goes on and on...You wouldn't believe how expensive this can get
So seriously if you have no experience doing this or can't afford to pay someone else to do it, don't do it!!! lol That's just my opinion.

As far as motor swaps I have done a few But mostly on GM cars never on a supra. I know im a Newb to these cars but i figured its the best way to learn is get one and just do it this is not a needed car nor something that will break me. I bought this for fun only and to get myself to tinkering on something again I just finished my 06 GTO and trust me Theres enough power there to go around. I just dont know enough about these motors so Here i am asking for the wealth of knowledge that is a forum and the advice of people who have been there-done that . thank you all for helping thus far. so What really is the difference from the 7mge to the 7mgte is the lower end forged to handle more power from factory? and i guess the tranny is different from what im hearing from others along with the driveshaft. Just makes me wonder why they would have such a different motor just to add a turbo just like most stock versions of vehicles they dont push alot of boost but theres my supra knowledge = NADA lol What is the Difference in HP from a turbo to a N/A 7M stock anyone know?
