Boosting a 7MGE or swapping it out.

Knightryder · 08-15-2007, 09:21 PM

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.
