HELLO I was just going to ask you a few questions

I have a 1988 n/a automatic with the 7mge, I was wantin to know is the 7mgte a good motor to swap to?? does it have alot of aftermarket support, also is it hard to get 300 hp out of it? and how hard is it to swap the 7mgte in my car? what do I have to mod?? how much does the intire swap cost? were can I get a complete 7mgte with low milage?

sorry for so many question but I want to learn as much about this swap as I can before I attempt it!!!

Well, if you want a good engine, go for the 1jz-gte. It's a much better engine that the stock 7m-gte. You can find them for about 1000. It all depends on how much money you have to spend. Go for the gusto my friend.

Yes, but swapping in a 1JZ isn't easy since the intercooler and piping are different. Trying to get 300hp out of an N/A is going to cost you more than going with a turbo, and it will be a lot more time consuming. You'd have to do a complete teardown of the engine, and do a lot of internal work. On a turbo, it's mostly a matter of intake, exhaust, and more boost and fuel.

what cars did the 1jz-gte come in?

Jrok25supra · 08-30-2005, 04:58 AM

They're no where in America. From what i can remember they are in 1990 Supras in Japan and Aus areas. On almost every site that the 7MGTE is sold the IJZ is too.

HAving an NA Supra and tring to make it turbo isnt the best may to go. Get a turbo modle. The 7MGTE is more than capable of making 300hp. Mine is making 265hp with very little parts and relitivley low boost. The 1JZ swap isn't the easyest to do and the motors are getting old and hard to fine. But they are much stronger than the 7MGTE motor. Like I said get a Turbo modle, doing a 1JZ swap will be much easier. Also you will needto find one 89-92 the subframe is different as well as the mounts.

ive been pricing the 1jz & 2jzs, cheapest to date was 2500. where can i find one for 1500??

bah, the 1JZ has twin turbos, get a twin turbo manifold for your 7M and waste a 1JZ :lol: Seriously though, 1JZ's are nice, but if something breaks, finding parts for it is going to be VERY hard. The 7M can be made stronger, and has more potential (no replacement for displacement).
