Question over turbo

neverbeencaught · 03-29-2008, 07:32 PM

Hey I'm looking at a non-turbo supra, and yes I do want to turbo it. I've done my research, but my question is, why do we HAVE to have the 7m-gte engine? I mean i know it's got the piston oil squirters and the oil inlets and outlets, but why do we need to have it? My last car was totaled when my friend t-boned me, but it was an ford escort zx2 that I turboed. I know that they don't have oil squirters in the pistons, and that they don't have the inlets and outlets so what's the difference? If I wanted could I basicly put the turbo and piping on, run my lines, get a custom chip burned and tunned, then it should be ok right? or is there something I'm missing?
