1JZGTE Horsepower potential?

[Ungoliant]

Well I don't have my project Supra just yet, but I will soon...I'm doing my research beforehand before I start dropping cash on the car. The one I'm looking at has a hole in the engine block and needs minor body/interior work, so I'm gonna pump out an engine swap right off the bat.

Basically what I'm asking is what's the easiest (cost-wise, skill-required-for-engine-wise, etc.) engine to drop in and mod in a Supra out of the 7MGTE, 1JZ, and 2JZ?

I want it to be pretty damn fast, but I don't want it to be just a track monster that's pointless to drive on the street, so I'm trying to figure what my HP goal is going to be as well.

Well I'll tell you what I should have done
I realized this after I bought my mk3 right now
I wasn't using my head, cuz I love this car

Buy a mk2 supra and drop either a 7mgte or a 2jzgte on it
The car is lighter than mk3s and it looks like it can handle better
Definitely won't be jus a track monster
But can also be a street terror, or you know what, don't do it on the streets
Jus, it can be a daily driver too

Well the reason I want to make it a street monster is because none of these jackasses down here have shit and act like hardasses with the little Civic hatchbacks and stock camaros/mustangs with straight pipes they have.

I know like, maybe a total of about 10-20 out of the few hundred tuners I've seen around, actually raced, or talked to around here actually have any decent amount of power.

And what kind of work do I have to do to a 2nd gen Supra to get a 2JZ or 7MGTE in there? Preferrably I'd rather go the 2JZ...From what I've read (And read I have) I think I really like the 2JZ alot more than the 7M, but if it proves much less of a financial headache to get a 7M in there, I might just do that.

about the same amount of work included in putting a 2jz in an mk3
but with the mk2 you get the benefit of lighter car to start with

and with that said, i think you will probly have the fastest car in yor town

Enjoy your 7m, I do.

i do too

So a 1.5JZ setup in a MKII I think would be pretty badass.

All I'm really going to be doing with the car is making it look nice, nothing crazy, and mostly engine work. Restore the body/interior, then just pump everything else into the engine. Make it somewhat of a sleeper...

Well, with a MKII it'd technically be a sleeper.



What kind of Horsepower have people gotten out of a 7MGTE?
