masterghost · 04-30-2009, 01:53 AM

Im putting a turbo on my my 7mge. what is needed to run the oil and coolant systems to the turbo. I can figure it out my self but thought i would ask and see if someone else has done it. im almost done with the convertion cusin has a machine shop and the tools. So can anyone help out? looking for 5-600 horse power out of my car.

u wanna put a turbo on your 7m???? thats pointless...u might as well jus to a engine swap to 1jz if u have the money and time and youll be wayyyyy better off! trust me..i did the engine swap and it handles the cheap lil 7m.

I'm not sure if non turbo model engines come with a fitting for the oil line('s). If it doesn't you'll have to tap into the oil pan for the oil return line and get a T fitting, connecting it to your oil pressure sensor for the oil sending line and run it to your turbo. As for the coolent you have some freedom of what to do there. I'd say if you wanted to get everything working you're looking at 2k+.

Considering how much work and money you have to go thorough to get a non turbo to go turbo, you might as well buy a 7mgte.

7MGE NA-T can u say sleeper! : ) Well thank for your guys imput. i found the spot where the oil feed flang goes on the block and there is a tapped spot on my pan thats plugged already for an oil return line. As for the 1jz idea from what I've seen thats just a preference because people will swear both ways about the 7m and 1jz for why ones better then the other. The motor in my car will be fully balanced and port/ polished. It will also have turbo internals and all ARP hardware. I have a upgraded ct26, turbo manifold, rps cyborg flywheel, rps clutch and titanmotorsport 2mm head gasket for my car. My heads completely brand new i bet it will be cheaper then swapping a turbo motor in my car that has a bunch of miles on it and not knowing if the head gasket is good or not when i buy it. The motor swap to me isnt worth it when i can have a new rebuilt motor in my car with no miles.

well, IF u really wanna see what a 7mge turboD looks like, come check my pics out. I had done it and its cheaper than buying a new motor swap. Almost all the holes are there for oil tap, return, n stuff. A lot of the NA is the same as the turbo model.
