7MGTE vs. 7MGE

02-16-2005, 08:18 PM

i'm pretty sure the question has been asked but i can't find the answers anywhere. what are the differences between the turbo and non-turbo supra models? are the engines identical minus the turbos? is the tranny the same? same gear ratios? i'm guessing the ecu is obviously diff and i would think that compression on the motor is probably diff.

how hard is it to swap a 7MGTE into a non-turbo supra? is if direct bolt in? wiring harness plugs in? and plug in new ecu?

what about suspension and body wise, were there any differences beside the turbo emblem?

well as far as the body is concerned they are identical

the engines is just the obvious... compression is higher on the 7mge, different pistons, auto trannies i would assume are the same but manual trans diff, 7mge has w58 whereas 7mgte has r154
gear ratios also differ i would think but i haven't really investigated it too much

7mgte swap has been done plenty

ecu, engine harness and engine... theres some links floating around on here for the 7mgte swap just do a search
