i havent seen a 7m built to have 1000+ hp. the 1jz is a stroke off from the 2jz. they have been proven to the 1000hp over and over.

eh, no. to bore out the block is doing a basic rebuild. adding a supercharger, you'd still need a nice thick metal head gasket. doing a swap just opens the door to more hp.

Yes, but in the end, 1JZ parts are still a major pain to find parts for over here, you'll have to have a lot of them imported, and don't even try a dealer for em...

You can easily get the 7mgte to produce 300hp the block is capable of 900hp factory and the buttom end can hold about 550hp w/ out doing anything...and u can find full motor swaps on ebay (motor , wiring harness, comp. w/ 35,000-50,000miles on them w/ warntiys) there only about $850.00 and another $250 for shipping and handling. I LOVE MY 7MGTE ...of course anything feels good at 22psi.
PS. you can find any parts you'd ever want for these motors

I would do the 7MGTE swap. Alot easier to do than the 1JZ and I plan on doing a 7MGTE swap also by April. You can easily get around 300hp to 350hp with the same price it would cost to just put the 1JZ in. Its best to get a front clip especially since u got a 88model. I just need to find a R154 with drive shaft. Just my input (not bad for a newbie huh).

hey sorry I have been missin 4 a while. I have decided to go with the 7mgte since it is easier to find parts 4. now all I need is links to websites were I can find EVERYTHING I need to swap my 88 N/a to a 7mgte in one sittin... why I am at it I want to convert it to a manual, I think it whould be a waste to drop the turbo motor in and hook a automatic to it dont ya think??? so should I get a front clip with a manual attach to it? do they even have those or am I dreamin agian

They have them. You just have to look around. I've only found one or two websites that sell the R154 trans with the 7MGTE.

Ok guys so if he does the swap, and he has a 88 NA. Just out of curiosity, if I have a 88 Na stick shift, and want to put the 7mgte into my car, do I have to run piping differently or is it just the direct bolt in and then a matter of an ecu, and connecting shit or do I have to change any part of the tranny?
Thanks
