yo everyone
well i just tried posting a thread like this but it didnt work, so now im making a new shorter one...
im new to these forums, and just bought a 1991 supra MKIII twin turbo i live in japan and the car is Japanese right side drive. heres some pics: its mad fast with the few upgrades that i have on it so far that include: Momo steering wheel Bride driver bucket HKS airfilter Razo turbo timer and pedals BOV (japanese brand, works well) Apexi boost gauge (need to install) 3inch cat-back exhaust w/ 4 inch muffler low profile tires with wheels adjustable coilovers on all 4 corners thats all i can think off off the top of my head maybe 1 or 2 more things... i was wondering you guys opinion on the car, and if you guys had any recomendations for upgrades like brake rotors/pads, gauges/ or something simple and not to pricey. any help would be appreiciated. thanks |

Nice 1GGTE I would look into modding the turbines if even just getting them polished. I dont know much about the 1GGTE except it is pretty much a 7M with twin turbos on it. I have the optional engine in my swap the 1JZGTE I love driving this car I cant wait to put all my upgrades that I have on order on it to see what it can really do.

The 1G is hardly a 7m... twin turbo 2 liter with 200hp. Not too many people have modded them, I'm curious to see what they can do. I'm sure 300+hp is doable.

Actually I looed into it and in a breakdown of the motor the 1GGTE and the 7M share a lot of parts. I know the intake manifold on the passenger side of that car is the same and the block is too just the head and stroke are different. Just as I have found the 1JZGTE and the 2JZGTE share almost every part except the crank rods and pistons. The head is also slightly different. What I was told by a Japanesse friend of mine is that the 1GGTE is a redesigned 7MGTE with twin turbos if you see one without the exhaust manifolds and the pipeing on top you will see some similarities.

So I guess I could destroke my 7m by using a 1g crank then right? Can you show me a link to where the 7m and 1G are using the same block?
