Hey guys, theres a near perfect 7m-gte at the local junkyard, I was wondering what parts are interchangeable with the 2jz-GE, I was wondering if I could swap the heads, and use the turbo manifold and turbo's from the 7m-gte, Could I swap the intake manifold and intercooler, Pretty much wondering if I can do anything with this engine, I know it outs out around the same as the 2jz-ge in HP, but I could always upgrade the turbo correct?

nope. dont think any of the parts are interchangeable.


well, if parts were interchangeable im sure the guys over on supraforums would of posted stuff about these things but i've never seen.

status....

parts dont interchange. i wouldnt waste my time on a 7m as they have their flaws.

no can't cange it over waste of time and money.

You are better off buying an ebay manifold, emanage blue, and a quality turbo.

No intercooler and boost to 7 PSI and start working your way up form there by adding injectors, intercooler, exhaust ect.

I mean the only thing you can really use form the 7m is maybe.. well nothing actually... ask me why i have a 2jz in my mk3

pick up the motor...and just get a cheap 2nd gen supra to throw it in....or a Cressida

Id need the manifold, Turbo, Turbo lines, Emanage and a downpipe to run turbo on the 2jz correct? I know its better and more proficient to do more, but I was just wondering if these are the minimum requirements, No BOV or wastegate?

status....

most if not all the manifolds and turbo setups i seen use an external wastegate so if your piecing a turbo kit together chances are you'll need one.

7m for life! haha

all 7MGT's need is a better torquing (sp?) on the headgasket and they'll be as good as a 2JZ. proven fact

status....

^and another common problem is rod knock. you can be really careful with the 7m and it can be ok or it can fail. i've had both so whatever

Duds

Bad 7m's are due to bad owner's.

YupImJOee

x2.

new headgasket, torque it down to spec, run 91+ gas. and your good (assuming you've fixed the problems that naturally come with a 18+ year old car)



and speaking of 7m's...recently i've been thinking about selling the GS and getting an Mk3...that most likely wouldnt happen tho, BUT maybe pick one up (sub $800) and turn it into a project and keep the GS as a daily VIP ride.

Well I noticed you live in cali, At the Junkyard in Pomona called U pick- U save, theres a supra , almost Untouched 7m engine with the turbo, The bodys not so bad either
