thrown rod- engine swap

flyboy13888 · 07-30-2007, 04:53 PM

yea, i did- i threw a rod in my 7mgte the other day, and with it bein 18 yrs old with over 107,000 miles on it, i dont think replacing the rod and fixing the crank thats bent, cause i had to drive it home, would be too practical... so wat do u guys think the best swap would be?

You can buy a 40k 7mgte pretty cheap and seeing as you are already have one then the swap is no big deal. I went the route of the 1JZ because I have a n/a 7m so all I could do is go up. Also the 1JZ swap gets expensive depending on what you get like a clip or just the motor.

wats the dif between 1jz and 2jz? is the 1 jz single turbo? and where can i get a 7mgte for pretty cheap? and how hard would a 2jz swap be? and how bad would it be to put an american v8 in and TT that?..

The biggest difference in the 1JZ and the 2JZ are pretty much a half liter and a little less horsepower to start. The 1JZ is a twin turbo 2.5 liter inline 6 and the 2JZ is a 3.0 liter twin turbo inline 6. There is a ton of sites on the web just look up 40k JDM motors or go to rims and things and I am sure there are a few others that are good that other guys here will suggest. The 7MGTE would be easier on you unless you got a unlimited budget then go for broke and do the 2JZ swap. I am not saying the 2JZ is a easy swap to do but it can be done just a lot of modifications you got to make like number one you have to swap it to a single turbo or pound out the firewall. The 1JZ is easier to find and cheaper and most every part from the 2JZ will fit it. It starts at 280 hp and I have one beleive me it is fast I smoked a 07 mustang GT 5spd the other day and had like three car lengths on him. Like I ws saying though the 1JZ is cheaper like a clip costs about 2600 dollars and a 2JZ clips runs like over 5 grand. You can get a 7MGTE for like 900 dollars with 40k miles on it. The other question you had about a V-8 it can be done but dont bastardize your car like that you can get way more power out of a 7M or a 1JZ than you could ever get there. Go to youtube and look up KWNATE he is pushing almost 850 out of 7MGTE that aint bad.

Here is a 40k motor on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-7...QQcmdZViewItemAlso if you do a search there on toyota supra dont include the year or anything you will find all the different motors offered in the supra. These include 5MGE(you dont want this one), 7MGE, 7MGTE,1GGTE,1JZGTE,and the 2JZGTE.

where it says stock under my name, how do i change that?

supradaddy0803 · 08-01-2007, 12:25 AM

I was more going by what the average price is from most places that deal in front clips. Usually around 5k for a twin turbo 6spd. That is what I would buy if I was going there but the 5spd isnt bad either.

Get a front clip from jarcoinc.com or driftmotion.com
