which engine swap should I perform?

xTHEHANDx · 12-31-2007, 10:39 PM

Hey

I just bought an 88 supra,a non turbo, 7mge, manual. Im thinking of swapping it for a 7mgte or a 1JZGTE. Im thinking I should go for the 1JZGTE for some reason, NOT the VVt-i version though, as I hear its hard to find parts for it. So what do you guys suggest? I WILL be doing aftermarket mods for w/e the engine will be, just BPU (exhaust, dp, flywheel, maybe even turbo) Also, do either of these engine work with the W58 tranny?

Thanks in advance

there are a lot of pros and cons with every swap

we already compared the 7m, 1jz, and 2jz swap

Hehehe, yea the search is nice. By the way, go 7M-GTE, too much of this 1J/2J stuff, lol.

search is MADE FOR NOOBS, therefore is makes NO sense reaching a level of 100 posts to start searching. not trying to argue with you, im trying to beat up a little on stupid supraforums.com. I think they're noob for making it so that search is limited to, as you said, ppl who have at least 100 posts. ridiculous

ya, I did the search, and it seems that both can make alot of hp, but that is something that I don't have to worry about, as I will DEFINITELY not go above ~330 whp. Also, I guess the availability/prices for 7mgte parts lean towards a college student. And whats this thing about the head gasket being notorious for blowing out? How hard is to replace a hg? my dad said its hard work, but he said he has never worked on supras therefore he really doesn't know.
