7MGE vs 7MGTE...just pistons?

rnoswal · 11-13-2005, 04:54 PM

I looked in for this in the search area and I am sure it has been covered but I couldn't find any info. Besides the obvious outer pieces and wiring, is the only difference between the two engines just the lower compression pistons? It seems like such a strong built engine that I didn't think it needed better anything in the block area, since the two are relatively close in hp and torque.

Thanks

the intake manifolds are different as well as teh exhaust manifolds, the ecu will most likely also have to be swapped

I understand the differences on the outside of the engines, I was just curious about the engine internals. Is anything built stronger or is it just lower compression pistons. I don't think anything but the pistons are different, but I was just curious.

Thanks

im pretty sure that the rods and pins are stronger, and i think teh head might be different...other than that i guess its almost the same
