7mgte to a 1jz or 2jz

[will fight for food]

i am shopping for an MHG which is the best or should i just get the thickest one they make in a stopper

[toneloc87 2]

i got the greddy 2.0mm because they had to mill the head twce but it all depends on how much metal is takin off the block and head

I would go for a 2mm anyway for a turbo application, the 1.2mm will up your compression a little bit but I cant see it holding up to higher psi. As toneloc87 2 said, it dose depend on how much metal is taken off the block and head as well.

My preference is HKS for a MHG, but its really up to you.

Good luck.

well when i talkek to the guy who is going to work my head he said that he wouldnt be taking enough off to make a differance so should i get the stock size or is the 2mm the way to go also witch is better stopper or bead i am over my head here need

[j3pz]

if he didnt take off any metal, then a gasket of the same thickness as stock will do (1.2mm?). you can get a titanmotorsports mhg, a cometic mhg, hks mhg. dont forget to tell the engine builder to use arp headstuds and get the Roughness Average on the block under 30 or the mhg wont seal right. also, there are shops you can buy upgraded ct26's, alot of people like a 57 trim.

as for the bottom end, i believe there was a guy on sm that hit 700hp on stock internals. however on a daily driven motor that hasnt been rebuilt to spec wont take that abuse, id say maybe 350-400hp at the most and i wouldnt recommend running a setup for this on a weathered motor for very long.

300hp sounds good to me for atleast awhile then i will prob go higher my plans are to order a rebuild kit they got them on ebay for like 350 bucks and replace every worn part like the fans belt that sort of stuff while i am doing that send the head and block off for cleaning after that its MHG and ARP bolts and a boost controller also gonna throw on a lexus AFM with bigger injectors any idea and what kind of injectors to use and what is a good size i herd so much bad things about the venom 550cc

[j3pz]

ya venoms are bad. with a lexus afm you need 550's and have heard good things about RCs

i got a 89 supra 7mge, and i am planning to drop in 1 jz pretty soon, so i was wondering that do i have to replace cross member or what . Additionally how max we can take 1jz to hp wise. with stock motor but after market turbo and front mount inter cooler from grdy.

Well you have to determine if your car is early or late 89, if its early then you will need a cross member, if its late 89 then your set. The early 89 has a square engine mount, the late 89 has round engine mount.
