Anyone put a 1JZ-GE in a Mk III

finaltable · 06-06-2007, 03:39 AM

As an addendum to my thread about 7M-GE efficiency, I'm curious what kind of results would happen if the NA 1JZ engine were installed in a Mk III. At 2.5L it is smaller than the 7M but appears to produce the same hp/torque numbers. As a smaller engine it should be lighter so overall efficiency should improve a little with no apparent loss of power. Has anyone tried this?

As far as I have read the only other engine offered in the mark 3 in Japan when the 1JZ came out was the 7m the 1GGTE and the 1JZGTE. But as for if anyone has put one in I have just recently finished my 1JZGTE upgrade and hes right it is stinking fast. Quite a difference from the 7MGE I started with.

What is your gas mileage like? I commute 110 miles round trip every day and get about 23 in my automatic 7M-GE. I dropped from 31 when I switched from my Camry to the Supra. I'd prefer not to take too much of a hit going to the 1JZ-GTE. I will be switching to standard if I do an engine swap so that should help me a little.

Depends on how heavy your foot is. I bet you can watch the gas gauge go down when you're into it deep.

What do the letters stand for. I know that 7mge means NA and 7mgte means it has a turbo, but does anyone know what actually they stand for.
