Things to look out for in ENGINE SWAP 1992 Supra nonturbo
 

Hey guys i have recently purchased a 1992 Supra just needs the engine replaced in it. Getting ready to get started on the engine swap in the next few weeks with my automotive tech anything i should look out for or tips?

Also the tires are going to have to be replaced so what is a good all season tire that would be good performance on the track but good in weather as well?

Thanks to anyone with the time it will be appreciated!

What engine are you planning on putting in? All season tires are not really that good on the track compared to a dedicated summer tire. They tend to be average in all seasons. I'd recommend a set of dedicated track tires and wheels or summer tires for the months above freezing and snow tires for the rest. Thats what I do. Once you run a set of summer tires you won't want to go back.

Im not exactly sure what kind of motor i am getting put in it. I am working with my automotive calss at a highschool to put it in for me. the teacher is a friend of mine. It is the stock 1992 toyota supra non turbo is all i know. Im new to it all but i am going to get pictures of it all Sunday.

What are the Other options? i thought that Toyota only made a turbo and non turbo?

sorry im so new to it all guys just now getting into it. but thanks!

Well if your going to stay stock then you should be looking for the 7mge, if you want to go turbo then that would be the 7mgte Single turbo or the 1jz twin turbo is another popular swap

Thanks guys. I will post pics Sunday.

Places to buy parts.
 

Hey guys I'm on my mobile phone right now cant post the pics but will soon. Would like to know where there is a good place to buy parts such as new head gaskets/kits, hoses and other wires for this model supra. I've been looking at Andy's auto sport but is there anywhere else tht would be a good place?

Driftmotion.com
Horsepowerfreaks.com
eBay has a lot of part for the supra and Toyota cause still get parts they have a complete gasket kit around 300-400$

Partsgeek.com has a lot of oem parts to

You could also try http://www.suprasport.com/

I'd be careful with SupraSport..... a lot of crap hit the fan with them after some ownership changes and I have no idea if they're reliable now or not. They used to have a great rep a good while back, then it went to hell and now I have no idea.

I've found the eBay vendor Mizumoauto to be a consistent and reliable source of OEM quality parts at very reasonable prices.

Horsepowerfreaks.com is an old favorite for most performance components.

Siliconeintakes.com is a great source for intake and vacuum components (more for turbo applications but still a good, cheap source for high quality vacuum tubing).

Champion Toyota (out of Texas) is a Toyota dealer and a good source for Toyota parts at good prices. They've come in lower than the shop discount I get from one of the local dealers in my area a couple times. www.toyotaworld.com

Some parts I still buy through Amazon. I've found that some things such as AEM filters and cleaning solution is usually priced the best there (from reliable sellers).

NAPA for NAPA Gold oil filters (Made by Wix).

WalMart for for the best price on Pennzoil Ultra by the gallon (although I'm now running the Euro 5W-40 blend which as far as I've been able to find locally is only carried by the local Mercedez and Ferrari dealerships.... can you say pricey? :( I'll order online in the future.).

Sparkplugs.com for rotors, caps, plugs and wires.

That's about all for my regular shopping stops.

Thanks for the heads up Cre, I didn`t know that.

Yeah, well like I said, maybe they've gotten their shit together... but it really got bad and you should have no trouble finding accounts of the problems people were having on any of the bigger Supra sites (there are a number of old threads here about it). Always take any review, recommendation or criticism with a grain of salt though. Often you don't know how recently the person dealt with the vendor or anything else about the circumstances behind their experiences.

Pics and ANDYSAUTOSPORT.com
 

i have looked at andysautosport.com and they seem pretty legit and i love the way they have the site set up. Does anyone know about this site and its reliability i have exactly the things i would like to purchase from this site saved. Guys i uploaded the photos ive been meaning to! she is a little dusty and needs work but will be a beauty soon!

Wow your pics make me dizzy. If you need any parts. I have lots of body and a few 7mge s sitting around for parts.

I thought you said 92? Looking like more of an 86 or 87! And looks exactly like the way mine did when I got it! Good luck with the motor!

Ha yeah my computer decided to upload them sideways and upside down for some reason! But yeah snowsupra I didn't realize this I could have swore the guy I bought it from told me it was a 92 but now when I looked at my title it is an 87. My bad. It's in good shape though interior is great only chip in paint is on front hood may have to turn your head to see it lol

Don't judge any site based on how it looks. You can get some very good looking templates from any number of hosts who just resell the same templates that they get for $20 ea out of India.

But, to answer your question, no. I don't know anyone who's ever bought from them. I've seen their name come up a couple times here and there but the people asking either bought elsewhere in the end or I didn't follow up. They do list some nice body kits and such for really good prices but I'd be wary and start small.

Hey 907 mge thanks what kind of parts do you still have? Not sure what I need yet if anything Shouldn't need anything but If I do I will be sure to run by you.

Thanks for the heads up Cree I will be aware.
