hey sup guys im looking to rebuild my motor in my 1988 7mgte twin cam, the kit that i found is like $425 for the non turbo and mine is non turbo but im not sure if it would be any diffrent if i would get the turbo one it comes with

This kit contains complete gasket set, set of pistons and rings, main bearings, rod bearings, thrust washers, timing belt, balance shaft bearings (if applicable), and a set of expansion plugs (does not contain camshaft, timing kit or oil pump). Pistons & Rings: Std., .020, .040. Bearings: Std., 10, 20, 30

im not sure if it would be any better or if i would even be able to do it . because if i go with the turbo one its cheeper . the web site is

The 7mgte is a turbo motor or do you have a 7mge? And the pistons will be different.

Rockauto.com has kits or magauto is good for oem. But the kit you are looking at looks more brand x. I would at least buy a nice headgasket and arp headbolts. And are you redoing the head also?

The turbo kit would work but the pistons r lower compression which means on a non turbo motor less power

Sometimes you'll find kits cheaper if you search for "Cressida" instead of Supra... There are a couple different gaskets on the intake but that's all, EVERYTHING else is the same.

I've had good luck order OEM type parts from an eBay vendor named Mizumo Auto Parts. I don't see any full kits in their listings right now but you could contact them to see what kind of deal they'd make you. If you were to buy parts from their current listings you should be able to piece a full kit together for about the same price.
