Boosting a 7MGE or swapping it out.

buy a jza70 halfcut and swap everything over.
makes an excellent base for modification

if the 1jz doest do it for ya. go the ma70 turbo halfcut and swap that over.
seeings your left hand drive that may be alot easier for u to do and cheaper

whatever u do tho . dont na-t your car. from what ive read there way to much hassel and are def. not a good option for the sort of power your trying to get.

i did the 1jz conversion ( although my car was a righthand drive 1990 ga70, so that was nice and easy ) and i couldnt be happier. only took me about a week to do all the mechanical side of it too. and it was my first conversion.

Well I have decided to go with the GTE since it is something available in the US and Im sure if i really put my mind to it, I can find a fresh rebuild that isnt a JDM. Only because I dont want the hassel of doing the harness modifications to run the engine. I found a GT70R ported and polished turbo manifold and turbo that is supposed to pull about 550-600whp. I have done alot of checking into parts and swaps so far and from what I have gathered the 7M-GTE will be alot easier to swap in, and I will be getting the trans to go with it. I think I should be able to go with a short block on the engine since I will be basically rebuilding all the internals and replacing them as well. I really want to stay away from a JZ swap since that engine never came in an american MK3. I want to keep a somewhat stop appearance to the car.
