Hey yall I am a new member and I need to learn alot about these cars. Just recently got the 1982 V6 Celica/Supra from my grandparents for free. A whole lot of body and surface rust but motor is in dang good shape from what I can see. I am trying to find some engine specifications, like HP,torque,how much HP at the wheels and how much at the crank. Are there any performance parts other than a Turbonetics Turbo or a Powerdyne Supercharger? I would like to upgrade the cams, maybe a true cold air intake from AEM or K&N, and possibly a Greddy Exhaust if I can find one for under 650$. If anyone has any info. on this car,performance parts,car audio or anything else! It would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance! - BRICK EDWARDS

well first thing you learn is your engine is a straight 6 :P

from memory they're about 160hp
there are quite a few of the celica supra engines
single cam, twin cam
2.8ltr 2.0

have a look at your vin plate and it should tell you what you've got ;)

the american market 5m if it is the 2.8 engine, is not as high as the jdm one. jdm is around the 160 mark, the american one is 145hp. not sure why the difference, but i assume it's to do with america's tighter emmisions control laws, etc.

thanks alot i found a toyota site on my car and found a lot of valuable info shuch as:2.8l DOHC inline 6, W58 Transmission, 5m-ge motor 145 hp @5200 rpm 155 tQ @4800 rpm weight-2759, stroke 3.35 bore 3.27 and my compression is 8.8 to 1. hope it might help someone thanks anyone have any mk2 pics send em or post em

Anyone have this car and if so, are they fast? Where can I find a cat-back exhaust or a header? I wanna run a Greddy turbo. Already looked at 935motorsports and the other one ripder.com or something like that!

is your car auto or stick?

well you its fast if you swap the engine tho.... or at least you run mk3 turbo than yeah....you can use mk3 header too...it just bolt on perfect....or you can get a fter martket header the only company made is peacesetter.....but i not sure if they still discontinues...or not...so you might want to check that out....you can run a greddy turbo but like i said....first modify mk3 header into your 5mge or swap ur engine to 7mgte with turbo....n upgrade the turbo from there...hope that work for you...n hope you find it....let me know if you got the turbo....n those stuff....alright....peace out...have a nice one... :P

i used to have 2 o' dem. if u really want to go turbo, do the engine swap to the 7mgte (heeeheee i have spare engine harness) or u can visit rabidchimp.com. they have a bolt on kit. its not cheap, but no one else makes one for the 5mge that i could find...

Rabidchimp also has the 6mge, which is a 200hp 3.0L engine. It's a way easier swap than the turbo, though doesn't make as much power. Unless you're looking for a crazy performance machine, I'd say go with the 6mge. :D

thats sounds pretty good. i didnt know they offered the 6mge, but then i never looked for it. locally, they offer them for 700-900(6mges). just depends on how many miles are on dem.

6mge is a pretty damn good too...not bad...i got a friend my mk2 partner its a silver mk2 supra....he got a 6mge is a jdm 3.0 not 2.8 it came from japan....n its a auto too....n i got a 5mge 5speed n i ran him before i modify into turbo....we were oh man....iono what to fast but i got my @ss kick on a 85 6mge automatic whooping my @ss.....well anyway....the 5mge is low compression....n for the 6mge it have high compression because the botton block is little bigger or fatter....you cant really tell by looking....because its looks the same the only thing you can see the diff. is the driving pullet.....so the 6mge with turbo that aint no joke too its pretty quick tho....i show picture when we got my friend mk2 silver supra from impound.....drift too much :D n got impound....so yeah. i show the pic when i got the chance....

in the US you cannot find any 6mge because its made in US you have to make a special order from Japan. it run about $1300US dollar for the complete engine with the ecu. but wouldnt come with the trainny tho.... correct me if i wrong on the price...

you can go to ebay and the person who makes header for our mk2 is peacesetter thats the only company who made it...or unless you order strght from japan it will be more $$$ run about $1600US for the greedy cat-back for our mk2. and if you wanna run for turbo...upgrade your 5mge to mk3 turbo or like me upgrade to the 95 twin turbo..... wanna know how to upgrade your 5mge to turbo check out the list that i post up the url how to turbo charge or mk2 supra on the other topic.....here is the other topic site WHO WANT TO DO A 5MGE INTO 5MGTE check that out.... :P

the 5mge is not high as the 6mge 3.0 if you want high compression n high end get a 6mge from japan for the price of $1300....that one sure run you about 160hp-180hp it depend how you setup ur engine.... :P

i dont make the special order, they do. they import all of their motors. i dont think it comes with wiring harness though..

iono where you got the motor from but last 2yr ago....when we get my friend 6mge for his mk2 supra...we order it from japan it runs about $1300 US dollar....and it came with the wireharness and everything..... :P but not the trainny tho....it working good tho...

japanese engine inc. 210-646-6688

I NOT SURE THAT # BUT YEAH...I HOPE SOMEONE WILL TRY TO CALL N FIND OUT WHERE TO GET 6MGE AND 6MGTE.....

:o USUALLY THE 6M IS 6MGTE....IN TURBO....AND THE 5MGE ISNT IN TURBO BUT YOU CAN STILL UPGRADE INTO TURBO CHARGE TOO...SO ANYWAY.....6MGTE SURE FROM MK2 USUALLY BE THE TURBO ONE IN JAPAN....WHOEVER WANTS 6MGTE YOU CAN CONTACT ANY LOCAL PERFOMACE SHOP FOR INFO. AND MAKE SPECIAL ORDER FOR THE 6MGTE THO... :D

how can the 6mge be a 6mgte? i gave you the number call it.

sure no problem....because....the 6mgte is usually came in turbo.....in japan....and the 6mge is not turbo....but still have higher compression then the 5mge....because it built into 3.0L not 2.8L like the 5mge....its like the mk3 supra.....the 7mge is non-turbo and the 7mgte is turbo... pretty is the same like the mk3 supra....but just that the US didnt carry the 6mge or 6mgte....because its made in japan and not in US...if you want the 6mge or 6mgte you can still get it from japan tho....

don't know what your on about, but from what i've researched, there was no 6mgte. there was a 6mge that came out just before the mk2 supra stopped production. there was also a 5mgte that was built to trial, very few numbers were actually made, and even fewer actually were sold. the 5mgte never made it into full production. these were JDM only.

:blink: is that importing it from uranus?? :o

for what you said is true too but i have this one japanese supra tunner magazine its all about the mk2 n mk3 only.....and there is a 6mgte and also the 5mgte like you said too....you got there soon.....keep research....you got it... :D

:o he got 6mgte on his mk2 too see....
this is what the 6mgte look like the 6mgte oil filter are located little more to the right not like our 5mge...because our 5mge is locate like in the middle of the block...but the 6mgte is little more to the right.... the 5mgte oil filter sure located between the piston 3 and 4...and the 6mgte is little bit to the right which is located between the piston 2 and 3.... take a look on it...
this is another 1985 Toyota Celica Supra 6mgte
take a look on it... :P

uh, if you paid attention to the pics, you would have noticed the first engine pic doesnt have a turbo. its probably a 6mge. the others are an aftermarket or custom built turbo kit.

I BELIEVE YOU...THE FIRST PICTURE MAYBE A 6MGE INSTEAD OF 6MGTE......BUT SCRL. DOWN TO SEE THE 6MGTE BLOCK YOU SEE THE DIFF. BETWEEN THE 5MGE N 6MGE THO.... BECAUSE....THE OIL FILTER IS MORE TO THE RIGHT THO....CORRECT ME IF I WRONG AGAIN... :D HEHE..

dont worry i will correct you. the 5mge and 6mge share the same block and heads. its the bore & stroke that are the difference between a 2.8l to a 3.0l. :o

THERE WE GO...YOU GETTING THERE TOO..... :D

OH I FORGOT ONE THING ABOUT 6MGE OR 6MGTE.....THE 5MGE CAME OR HAVE THE EGR VAL. ON THE CHAMER... BUT THE 6MGE AND THE 6MGTE DID NOT CAME OR HAVE THE EGR VAL. ON THE CHAMBER....

*shakes his head* no, you are wrong. they are not 6m-gte's, they are turbo'd 6m-ge's. that first 6mgte you pointed out show before and after shots of the turbo conversion. the next one plainly states that his 5m sounded faster than it went, so he got a 6m-ge from japan, and turbo'd that. the last one also states that it was converted. there was no 6m-gte released for production. those are only turbo'd 6m-ge's. you are right on the differences between a 5m and a 6m, but that does not make them a 6m-gte, just that the 6m-ge is different from the 5m-ge.

well than i doubt it than....well i sure that there is a 6mge that have turbo tho....and it came with a 6mge or 6mgte tho...well since you guy said that no such a 6mgte than i guess i have to go with the majority said :( ...so well....but yeah like i said on the chamber too...the 5mge have egr and the 6mge didnt have the egr tho....so yeah.....

:lol: so, how many times have you changed your muffler bearings?? :lol:

Im pretty new in supra game so ive done some research on the car im getting.
('85 w/ original 6MGE engine 5speed and 4.30 rear end) So from my research Id have to agree with Monkihead that there is no 6MGTE, but a 6MGE with a turbo up grade is available, but not from the factory. the first year they offerd a turbo Supra was when they changed body styles '86 1/2 or 87 im not sure which. they offerd the 7mge and 7mgte in those.http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...ons/icon10.gif
