Turbo Kit for 87 Supra

mizuboi · 05-23-2007, 08:58 AM

personally i don't think the 2j is worth the money for the swap most people that have 2j's don't stay with the twins if they want power so i'd say just swap over to the 7mgte its easier and more cost effective if you use your money right just remember to get arp studs and torque them down before you start anything else

If you're planning to swap the gte, and stay stock for its lifetime,
Yes it is the most cost-effective swap

But if you gonna look for power
The 2jz will be the cost effective swap in the long run,

Since with the 7m, is cheap from the start but trying to get sum power, from a 20yr-old engine isn't easy
You would have spent close to 20k b4 you can reach 5-600hp

As with the 2jz, bolt on parts and an abundant supply of aftermarket parts are always gonna be available, since the 2jz usage is not limited to toyota cars
Its has been found on toyota trucks,lexus cars,nissan cars, rx7,s2000,
So the engine is pretty much still in demand,
And you can save money since you can basically do bolt-on parts and fuel delivery system till about 800hp

i am doing this same swap. except i alredy bought the turbo pistons new clips pins and rings. from what ive heard mechanically the only difference between the 7mgte and 7mge is pistons and oil squirters. my problem is the oil squirters. are they like removable or can they be drilled out? other stuff im not worried about i can figure a way around it. megasquirt or just full harness ecu and igniter swap. i would like to keep my distributor so ill probably have to get like a msd ignition or something. if anyone can help me with this id be very apreciative.

Thank You
John

There are more differences, such as no oil supply or return. As for the squirters, adding them would require more machining than is worth the expense and effort.

i dont see much use on oil squirters to be honest so im not much worried about em. my turbo lebaron doesnt have em and its fine. the oil return i have covered ill weld a tube into the top of oil pan. where is the supply line run from on the turbo cars for oil and coolant along with the return for coolant. anyone have pics of those things?
