As for your question, I don't recommend it.

For me, too, a very topical issue. I would like to know someone turbocharged these engines?

well if you were to do it you'd have to swap the ECU, plus its a good idea to swap the injectors with a turbo models injectors, swap the manifold with a turbo one, put on the stock inter cooler setup off the turbo model, I'm not to knowledgeable on the supra's (more knowledgeable on DSM's) run all your oil and coolant lines. But like I said I don't know much about the supra's. I suggest looking around very thoroughly before attempting, I dont know if the bottom end and top end in the 7mge is relatively the same as the 7mgte. If it is possible then I suggest doing the conversion and running a low PSI because the transmission will more then likely be different between the two.

thats just my 2 cents but I'd follow what the more knowledgeable members are saying.

I've done a couple... I've also spoken about it, in depth, so many times on this forum that I now just feel irritated inside when I see new threads asking about it as you obviously didn't look very hard.

Synopsis of my posts: "Don't do it, it'll end up costing at twice as much in the end."

I have a N/A supra, and looked into turbocharging. The best bet is to do a swap with a turbo engine and engine management system. Slapping a turbo on the N/A engine will be expensive and not work well at all. Swapping is also expensive, but at least you'll have a system that was engineered to work well as a turbo set-up and can be very reliable.

You would be better off buying a Supra with Turbo. Like Auto to Manual you are asking for trouble.

I see new threads asking about it as you obviously didn't look very hard.

how about a 2jzge? and please if you have a link on the 7mge or 2jzge thread stick it up here bro!

Who is this reply directed at? I don't follow...

Any information on turbocharging the 2JZ-GE will be in the MKIV section.... You'll get most of the same answers though: Lower compression pistons, add oil cooling, swap electronics, etc.

u bet cre thanks!
