Well..., Good Luck and welcome.

I used to live in Long Beach right on temple by signal hill.

I used to work in Garden Grove.

If you want high horse powere get a turbo. Cause N/A's are like pi$$ing in the wind if you need that type of rush.

You want a quick little sticky car to roll hard. The N/A's are cool.

Buy the time you mod it out and delete this and that and get it running to spec. There won't be too awfull much you won't be able to repair on it.

But the down side is. My 91 has more in it than I will ever get out of it if I sold it.

yah i know, u never get what u put into the car back. but thats the car life am i right

but yeah im still thinking just get n/a cuz there cheaper and swaping in a 1j or a 7m-t but like always i always make a list of what i need done to it, i cant just swap in a motor and go, i have to change this and that before the swap u know, "water pump, spark plugs, thermostat, fuel pump, radiator," u know but yeah i just wanted to know if there a body diff between the turbo and the n/a mkIII besides lil cosmetics like the wing lights hood or stuff like that on most other cars.

Forget the 1j dude.

You have to find an entire front clip from either canada or japan and have it all shipped.

so your saying just swap in a 7m-t or rebuild the motor that it comes with? what about a 2jz bottom and a 1 jz head with a 2j tranny 5 speed ?

supramacist · 04-18-2008, 08:04 PM

Look Joe..., here's another thing.

Engine codes. gte is turbo. ge is non turbo.

so when you say 7m-t. you sound like you dicked your dads ride up and need to fix it before he gets home from vacation.

That being said 7m-gte. Is what you want. But you have to upgrade the tranny as well if you start with an n/a. Which means naturally aspirated and or...., non turbo. The w58 is the n/a tranny.

Your only other upgrade that I'm aware of for the w58 is a 2jz-ge.
Which is the same output as the 7m-ge. Without the built in defects.

Now if you buy an n/a car and go turbo. It's pc definition is.
n/a-t . Ya folla? I'm hoping this helps you a bit. I know that it will.

This is not the best way to do things. It's the scenic route to having a low boost turbo and is laiden with pitfalls all along the way.

Rebuild anything you get that you want to swap into your supra. It's a bird in the hand my friend. DO NOT just buy a JDM angine and drop it the fock in.

Always try to rebuild the matching numbers anything 1st. Before replacing or customizing.
