Hows it going, just bought a 90 cressida and have a few question.

as u all know it comes with a 7mge. the currant engine is bad in it, reason being i only payed $100 for the car. but anyways i have a budget of $6,000 for it to make it a quick dependable daily driver. by quick i mean i would like 4-500rwhp. i also currantly own a 91 galant vr4 and make 380awhp and my 95 impreza that im still building currantly making 714awhp at 2500lbs, so i would think 4-500RWhp should be easy. i always loved toyota's, never got any other truck then toyota's, had a 87 turbo pickup, then 93, and now currantly a 04.

but anyways, like i said im new to the whole toyota swapping scene so here are my question.

to swap a 7mgte what does it take, differant wiring, just changing the ecu?????????(i would assume its based on the same swap it would take to put it into a none turbo supra)

i heard of using a 1jz head on a 7m block, what are the advantages of the head designs between the 1j and 7m?

how bad is the wiring for a 2jz swap into the 7m car?

are there any differances between the 7mge and 7mgte long blocks besides the compression and rods?

and i understand that the stock 2jz block itself is hella better, but what about the heads, comparing them to both the 7m, 1jz, port size, valve size, etc?

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well if you're shooting for 400-500rwhp on a $5000 budget, i think you're better off with just going with the 2JZ swap instead of the 7MGTE, just my $.02

2jz is the best engine its superior in every way except price and engine swap its a hard swap and a good deal on a 2jz is like 2500 buks if u decide that the 2jz is too much work go with a 1jz but quik power a 2jz is your best bet b/c with a few bolt on parts and a boost control u can get that kind of hp. 7m are good but with that kind of a budget go with a 1j or 2j

It would be better to get a turbo engine because it is built for the turbo and the N/A isn't. Rewiring is a pain from one engine to another. It is all possible of course, anything is, but you have to either have a lot of patience, experience and money to do the swap or the person that does it needs the first two and you will need even more money.

Personally I would go for a car, the Supra for instance, that is already turbocharged. Much easier to go with add-ons rather than the swap, but that is just my opinion.
