Rebuild?
I have a 87 supra n/a with 190,000miles with motorknock. I'm wondering if I should rebuild the motor and put a turbo upgrade on. Or if I should buy a jdm 7mgte. I know a guy that would rebuild the motor for next to nothing just price of parts. so i'm wondering which would a smarter choice. Any feedback would be apprciated.

depends on your interpretation of turbo upgrade... completely new aftermarket or the gte turbo and manifolds
if someone is willing to rebuild urs for next to nothing, see if you can find a gte block and rebuild that, he probly won't know the difference, just a couple of extra holes here n there on the block  get a mhg, arp head studs, ct26 and manifold, ecu, harness, turbo cams, cam position sensor and that's all i can think of right now... it's getting late lol

Thanx for the input, i'm thinking mayb find a blown gte and rebuild that or just buy the turbo parts. and should i bore my motor out?
also should getting all that turbo stuff add up to alot? or would buying a jdm motor be cheaper. |
