Forget the 1j dude.

You have to find an entire front clip from either canada or japan and have it all shipped.

so your saying just swap in a 7m-t or rebuild the motor that it comes with? what about a 2jz bottom and a 1 jz head with a 2j tranny 5 speed ?

Look Joe..., here's another thing.

Engine codes. gte is turbo. ge is non turbo.

so when you say 7m-t. you sound like you dicked your dads ride up and need to fix it before he gets home from vacation.

That being said 7m-gte. Is what you want. But you have to upgrade the tranny as well if you start with an n/a. Which means naturally aspirated and or...., non turbo. The w58 is the n/a tranny.

Your only other upgrade that I'm aware of for the w58 is a 2jz-ge.
Which is the same output as the 7m-ge. Without the built in defects.

Now if you buy an n/a car and go turbo. It's pc definition is.
n/a-t . Ya folla? I'm hoping this helps you a bit. I know that it will.

This is not the best way to do things. It's the scenic route to having a low boost turbo and is laiden with pitfalls all along the way.

Rebuild anything you get that you want to swap into your supra. It's a bird in the hand my friend. DO NOT just buy a JDM angine and drop it the fock in.

Always try to rebuild the matching numbers anything 1st. Before replacing or customizing.
