how hard is it to swap the jdm 7mgte, i just bought one from jdmmotors.com so I,m looking forword to putting it in!!! any info would be great thanx.

j3pz · 10-17-2006, 11:15 PM

i havent done it yet, as im waiting for helping hands, and a good weekend without rain... prior to installiation it hasnt been to hard. when i got mine, put it on the stand, took off all the cut wires, hoses, etc. then swapped out oil sending unit, put on egr, retorqued head, and put on diff engine mounts. oh im also swapping throttle bodies as the jdm and u.s. spec are diff. im gonna try to get a ffim (front facing intake manifold) from ron off of supramania, and maybe get a larger tb, till then ill stick with the u.s. tb.

im also taking the ac out of the car; im young, doesnt work in my NA so i know ill survive, and it will be easier to take out while the motor is mia. as of now im just removing the lines, pump, and condenser, every part in the engine bay. im gonna keep them of course in case i ever change my mind or decide to sell the car. ill try to take pics of me putting it in...

this up coming weekend looks promising, kinda cool but sunny

it runs! changed out the ecu, and boom. the battery wont charge though so gotta look into that. i just bought a 91 integra that im gonna use as a dd so the supie will remain fresh. gonna get historic tags for it so insurance stays low. i ordered rotors, pads, and ss lines from 935motorsports and new tires. once i get the pads in, gonna throw them on and take the car for a spin! omg im getting excited

edit: will take pics of said parts tomorrow

Historic tags for MD will exempt your vehicle from emissions and inspections. The catch is that it must be at-least 20 years old and it cannot be driven every day.

j3pz · 03-04-2008, 11:11 PM

plus insurance is cheaper

. i have the tags for two years, after which i think ill just get regular tags, sell my acura, and drive the supra everyday. im getting some more small things in for the supra. almost have the gauges in. when im done ill take some pics. im also planning to replace my hg and install some headstuds so i can turn the boost up and not worry about anything.
