well what do you want to do with the car? once this information is gathered alot more help can be given, it could be as simple as buying a boost controller or doing the lexus afm/550cc injector swap or a complete build, it all depends on what you want to do

thats the thing. im lookin for opinions. i was thinkin 2j swap but if the 7m is a good idea then i would consider that. im lookin for an 11 sec street machine... somewhere like 15-20psi...

90 mk3 2jz · 07-12-2011, 01:48 AM

i just wanna no if the 7m has the potential of a 2j. no what i mean. i dont wanna spend 10k on the 7m just to run with a mostly stock 2j...

i was looking at doing the 2j swap for my supra as well next year but decided not to because it was uneconomical for what i wanted, it was going to cost about 12g to purchase and build the engine/transmission alone, not including suspension and drivetrain, there is alot out there to build the 7M, what kind of budget do you have?

90 mk3 2jz · 07-12-2011, 02:10 AM

im sayin if i could get as much power out of the 7m as the 2j i would just build the 7m... its already there

90 mk3 2jz · 07-12-2011, 02:12 AM

well lol not killin myself or anything. im 20. live at home. have a full time job makin about 2k a month... and my car is all i spend it on... i can have whatever budget i need lol

87supra7mgte · 07-12-2011, 02:15 AM

ive read through here and have seen nothing of the 7M being able to hold or create the power of a 2j, but to do 11's i don't think you would need a 2j, and after putting 10g's in a 7m it should really outdo a near stock 2j, unless you spent it on pointless stuff or didn't upgrade suspension/drivetrain to handle the power
