Nimski62 Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 will the 1989 Supra twin turbo 7MGTE motor swap with my car?? any help would be appreciated... thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean_8044 Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimski62 Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 but i heard my motor with 175K coudlnt handle a turbo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWJ Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWJ Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSC4 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 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.
