Can someone de-code this for me.

About the NA 7MGE, they do go well. As you said, 200Hp is'nt bad, the car is heavy, but not that heavy, its around 1580 which is OK. I have a manual so cant say much about the auto but i'd imagine you'd get more out of it with a manual. I have a K&N filter, 2 and half inch exhaust form cat back (really only need 2 and a quarter), my engine has been fully re-built, i use Iridium plugs and top gun leads. My engine would be putting out a bit more than stock. The stock cams are pretty good, they seem to make good use of the engines power, they are different from the turbo cams. Dont be put off the NA by the turbo owners, you cant blame them for loving there turbos, the power feels great, turbo cars are addictive. . If your engine is healthy, you will probably be happy with it. They go well and are definately not slow, maintain it and they stay strong.

I own an 86/88 NA, the previous owner bought a wrecked car...swapped a lot of parts...so im not sure what on the car is 88 and 86, but the tittle is 86 and the engine/trans is an 88 im sure of that, anyway sure the stock motor is great..it has a really nice powerband, and it runs good all the time. The thing that impressed me the most about it is the internals, and how well made these motors are. most of the parts in these motors would be a huge upgrade on some other motors, like american v8s for instance. But the thing that sukcs about that is, the motor is already at a pretty high hp/liter, which makes it kinda hard to modify any further. thats why the turbos are so poular. But sure, do a header, exhasut, intake, and try to work out a bigger mass air flow sensor off a lexus car like j3pz said. Should be able to get it up to about 230-240hp. the popular/good way to make a lot of power out of an NA motor is insane compression and race gas, and big cams. but that defeats your economical idea. goodluck with the car!

Lexus afm won't do any good... IIRC the housing is the same size with different electronics. People buy it and put larger injectors on turbo models to trick the computer into thinking it has less air going through, so the computer won't cut off fuel at 11psi. I think I explained that correctly but its 6am...

I bought some rims today, they look insanely nice! Although car is too high, need to lower it a bit (stock suspension).

Anyone knows how thin is stock exhaust?

POST UP SOME PICS!!

Will post them soon!

To the other post: I'm sure he meant kilograms, which would be about 3,500lbs.

And as Isphius said, the internals are good. In NA form they last and when you let the engine breath with intake and exhaust it gets the most of the 7Ms good bits. And i love that valve on the intake manifold. The one that opens around 3800 RPM to shorten the length of intake which allows the engine to make the most of its top end aswell as having decent torque and bottom end. A great idea, this is the first engine i have seen to use this system and for the gains you get i cant believe every engine doest have one.
Man, when i first bought a Supra i was almost put off the 7M all together from what i read, but after building one, and driving it, i am sold. There great engines.
