Motor Help...

will the 1989 Supra twin turbo 7MGTE motor swap with my car?? any help would be appreciated... thanks in advance

Well, technically it will, but i would advise against it. Its a good motor with great torque, but its going to be a maintainance issue with the headgasket problems that they face, not to mention the wiring issues involved. It would be alot easier to swap in a GTE from the JZ series or just get a turbo kit for your car as it is now. Theres alot of people making great power on those kits also

but i heard my motor with 175K coudlnt handle a turbo...

It would work. 7m is a good motor if it is worked right. Headgasket issues are easily taken care of with better studs and a little more torque. But, I would not put one in the SC. You could rebuild your 2jz and turbo it big. Or turbo it now provided everything else is in working order. Best engine ever...

thanks for the help.. i would realy like to put a turbo then... how does the rest of the old car handle it... i dont want the car falling apart becasue of the turbo

I've not seen a car better put together... electrical connectors break, pads wear, bushings/joints, suspension...

replace it... it will be the best car you've ever had...

i know awj is in favor of turbo the ge motors. i did a swap with the gte and it's ridiculously powerful. swap wasnt hard to do at all also.

rebuilding a motor before turbo-ing it may be a good idea, or you wont be able to boost so high. but just make sure u have someone who knows what theyr doing to rebuild your motor.
