7mgte or 1jz-gte???
 

i know that the 1jz is a jdm engine and the 7mgte a usa spec, though i'd loke to know which one is more powerful (i know jdm model cars are usually better, but by how much in hp? :huh: )

suprragirl will know more about the 7m specs then i do, but the 7m came around about 230hp in turbo form. the 1jz came 280 (japanese self inforced limit)

yeah i think u should wait on suprra girl. my sousin said she knows all about them. but if i were u i would go with the 1jz

the 7m (from my research) isnt as powerful as the 1jz. but i plan to keep with the 7mgte

thanks guys, even if the 1jz is better standard, isnt the 7mgte bigger (3 litres verses 2.5 litres??? :o )

if the 2.5 is capable, you may be able to bore out the cylinder to make it a 2.6 or 2.8. it would change your compression ratio, but you'll gain power in different rpm ranges.

yep the 1jz has a headstart on power... 50bhp, they're awesome engines.. great for the track ;)

but 7m power is where it's at :lol:

the 1jz for being .5L less is quite surprisingly powerful... but power can also be made from the 7mgte

check out www.7mpower.com :drool: hehe

im a bit rusty on my specs but doesn't the 7m have more torque?

dude the thread is like 6 years old just to let you know! make a new one if you don't know for sure.

No. A lot of people assume that because of the .5l less. But the jz actually puts more to the ground then 7m.

But the 7m makes max torque 400 rpm sooner then 1j which is where the confusion starts

Factory specs at crank,
1jzgte= 280 HP. At 6200 rpm 268 ft lbs. At 4800 rpm Now the factory way under estimated this motor. Mine 100% stock put down. At the WHEELS. 285 HP. 272 ft lbs

7mgte= 232 HP. At 5600 rpm. 240ft lbs at 4400 rpm
