My '87 Supra 7MGTE, Newbie Questions

suav · 04-10-2007, 03:55 AM

Hello, I bought an '87 Supra - 7MGTE (auto) a little more than a year ago.

I've since then had a really nice new 4 coat / 2 clear paint job (original "maroon" with 11 grams of silver metallic) and now that it looks good need to do something with the engine.

Great car for a few months, but then it started acting up ( O/D light flashing, rough shifting, lag like none other, over heating ,,,,,,,, etc...... something to do with the speedo and trip comp not working???)

Well anyway I was wondering if a 2JZ-TT swap (or any newer turbo or twin turbo) is a possibility?
Or am I better off sticking with the original? Either way I want a 5 or 6 speed.
