7mge inefficiencies

[Grandavi]

The only replacement for cu.in. is technology really. That's the main reason the turbo has an advantage. The 7M is a pretty old engine (remarkable how well they stand up though). I look at headache + cost + end gains when I research this area. To my knowledge, the least headache and most cost effective way is to get a 1JZ swap (providing you have everything needed before you begin). So many people talk so much about it on the forums that I sometimes get complacent and assume its easy just becuase it is such a common topic. But mapping it out you find there is a ton of "little things" to know before going in.. and I always find one more little thing.

I have never owned a more expensive car to fix properly.. lol. but.. then again.. im being fussy and usually end up buying "near perfect" or new parts only.
