So what is cheaper?

[bigunitpitcher22]

Is doing a 7m-gte swap cheaper than putting a turbo on my n/a?

[DaSuprawolf]

i would say no, but if you N/A-T, make sure you do it right. and know what your getting into

do some research
good luck.

[bigunitpitcher22]

Do you think you could link me to a site that can tell me what i need and how to go about it?

[s383mmber1]

That is an EXTREMLY broad question.

NA-T is a very well thought out process, and if done right, will be very reliable and rewarding.

Buying a 7mgte and putting it in is a bit risky in my opinion becuase your unaware of the condition of the engine. But if you have money, buy a spare engine, rebuild it and then put it in.

But this is one of those things,

If you have to ask, then you should stay Non-turbo.

And anyways, why do you want turbo? NA have plenty of power. If you havn't done your research to answer this question, you should not go turbo yet.

I am not flaming you, jsut letting you knwo you should definatly start reading!

Alright, thanks. To the books it is.

Search and price match is all i can tell you, but from what ive put together there really close in price

[Supracentral]

In my experience N/A->T is generally more expensive in the long run, when you take into account time, money and aggravation.

Getting N/A->T to run right, although not overly difficult, can be a time consuming and frustrating process.

Also, as you move up to higher and higher horsepower goals, it gets more difficult with N/A->T the higher you go.

Swapping in a 7M-GTE with wiring harness & ECU is a cakewalk.

That is a great answer. You didn't get defensive at all. Loving your atttitude........lol

[bigunitpitcher22]

Alright so without being redirected to another link, from those with experience, how much did your n/a to gte swap cost you?

[Superjustin13]

ehhh

I would put in a 7mgte.

7mge has higher compression= not good for a Turbo'd motor

also 7mgte has oil squirters in the block... 7mge's dont

[suprahero]

Have you asked any of your friends if maybe they would like to buy your car? Then you can take the money you were going to put into a swap and buy a turbo'd supra. Just my two cents worth since I don't know how much a swap would cost you...........GL

[Superjustin13]

Cost depends on if your going Bone stock, or modding it, or WHO your getting your parts from, anywhere between 500-1000 to na-t your 7mge
