making a 7mgte
 

i currently have a 86.5 n/a 5speed and a 88 n/a auto i want to pull the motor out of the 88 and tear it down and tottally rebuild it into a 7mgte..... is this possibly?? what all will i need to do this?? and how much you think it will cost??? also can i drop the 88 7mge conversion to 7mgte right into the 86.5??? what all will have to be down?? also will the 5 speed bolt up 2 the 88 turbo motor???

Search around. The 7mgte has lower compression (necessary for boost) and oil squirters that cool and lube the rods and pistons. It is possible to get these machined into a ge block, But ive never seen it done, Just read about it. Otherwise, There is 2 knock sensors in the turbo block. I dont know how you would hook the turbo ecu up to one without it working right. You can run a turbo on an n/a computer and all, But I think you would need some kind of fuel computer to keep it fueled right and to run bigger injectors. If you can find a way to get the throttle body in front of the turbo, Youd be fine, It would run as factory.

were can i get a 7mgte shortblock and how much u think it whould cost to build on from shortblock to complete road burner good for about 500 hp or a little less
