can i turbocharge my N/A 7mge?

cre · 01-15-2012, 08:13 PM

I've done a couple... I've also spoken about it, in depth, so many times on this forum that I now just feel irritated inside when I see new threads asking about it as you obviously didn't look very hard.

Synopsis of my posts: "Don't do it, it'll end up costing at twice as much in the end."

I have a N/A supra, and looked into turbocharging. The best bet is to do a swap with a turbo engine and engine management system. Slapping a turbo on the N/A engine will be expensive and not work well at all. Swapping is also expensive, but at least you'll have a system that was engineered to work well as a turbo set-up and can be very reliable.

You would be better off buying a Supra with Turbo. Like Auto to Manual you are asking for trouble.

Any information on turbocharging the 2JZ-GE will be in the MKIV section.... You'll get most of the same answers though: Lower compression pistons, add oil cooling, swap electronics, etc.

The question of this nature, in the engines and the 7 mge 7mgte have a problem with oily starvation in the sixth and fifth cylinders?
I apologize for my english, I use a translator.

i dont understand are you asking if there is that problem or have you run into it already?

No, the 7M does not have any oil issues which are very common, at least not in the Supra. The people who have had these problems are typically people who "drift" and even then it is not a common problem. It can be addressed by adding more baffling to the pan and/or adding a "crank scraper". It is also safe to run up to 1 quart more oil than specified but keep in mind that this does add a bit more resistance that the crank has to overcome as it rotates.
