Oh, it's very expensive operation...
In Russia it costs about 4-5K $ depends of the cars year.
87' car will need to make handmade engine mounts...
Your car a/t or m/t?
If m/t, yuo'll need 1jz clutch bell for w58 gearbox...it costs about 400-500$

nevermind, I was thinking it would cost around $2k. I guess I'll just turbo the 7mge. By the way, it's a 5 speed.

You know, it's not a very good idea...but it's up to to you...

87mk111 · 04-21-2009, 01:38 PM

Well, I already know what I need and how much it will cost me time and money wise to turbo the 7mge. I think I'm gonna stick with that plan, but not till after I do some head work first (valves, springs, cams, cam gears, and of course the gasket itself).

Makz · 04-21-2009, 01:50 PM

That's right with head. It's the weakest place in 7M engine.
Don't forget to buy new head bolts, it's very important.
And if I was in your shoes, I'd inspected cylinder block, and changed piston rings, con rod and main bearings to be sure in engine for 100%...especialy if your gonna to put a turbo on it

I'll look into that as well, but I have a spare head, so I'll work on that first. I plan on getting the hks gasket and using the arp head studs. With that combo, the gasket should last for awhile, espaecially since I plan to only run like 7-9 psi.

why dont you drop a 7mgte right in there

87mk111 · 04-22-2009, 02:23 PM

I was planning on going with the arp studs and hks gasket when i do the head gasket. I'll look at the block/bottom end when i swap the heads.I can't really do that now because my supra is my daily driver right now until I fix my accord. I going to start with the head work tho, since i have the spare head laying around in the garage.

By the way. Which cams are better? Crower 264, or Crower 272?

Buy a *7mgte*, unless you plan on buying everything exactly down to the needle, 7mge's don't have the oil sprayers in the block, trust me you want those. Other thing is, you will need to rebuild the engine if plan to turbo it, and usually that requires you to remove it, so why not swap it with a 7mgte.
