Engine Swap or not?

Getphazed · 11-28-2006, 06:27 AM

Ok so after reading about swaping 7mgte for 1jzgte Im still wondering if it is auctually worth it. Does the extra turbo make all the difference? If i stick with a 7mgte what can be done to make it awsome. How much cheaper will it be to replace the 7mgte engine i have right now with another 7mgte or is it cheaper to just have it rebuilt? If anyone has any input on this please let me know.

It realy comes down to what your looking for and what your budget allows ,personaly I think the 7MGTE is a very solid platform and would rebuild that with upgrades wherever flow is concerned ,intake/exhaust. Just my 2 cents

Btw if anyone has links where i can find parts to upgrade post them.
Im looking for new Intercooler probibally pipes, looking to either get a new turbo or rebuild the old one so links to turbos or rebuild kits, Also exaust and intake, and what ever else would be good to put on it.

Really its a personal opinion.Both platforms have its advantages and disadvantages.Do the research for yourself and make your own decision.If you just go by what other people say you may be setting yourself up for an empty pocket and a car that don't live up to your expectations.
