how do you identify a 7Mgte

[cykornr]

I am looking to buy a jdm engine, I want to be sure it is a 7MGTE. Are there any identifying marks, on the block, that would identify it as a turbo?

[hottscennessey]

turbo oil drain hole, two threaded holes on intake side for knock sensor (GE has one). those should be the most obvious.

[mkIIIman089]

Well... as opposed to what?

[bonus12]

Well... as opposed to what?
as a non-turbo i assume.

[JustAnotherVictim]

Is it coming with a turbo? I think that one would be obvious... Oil pan has an oil line in it also, ge doesn't.

No 7MGTE here

[lagged]

heh. MOST LIKELY you should be getting your motor with a turbo, also the timing belt cover has a sticker on it that says 7M-GTE.

the intake manifolds are different. the GE has a ypipe going into the plenum, the GTE has a straight pipe that has a 3000 etched in it in big numbers.

the GTE has a coilpack which will be sitting on top of the valve covers. it also has a CPS instead of a distributor.

if its a complete long block, the most obvious sign that it is a GTE is the big piece of metal hanging off the exhaust side of the engine...

[EdgeSupra]

oh my god IJ thats the funny psot I have seen yet, hahahahaha

no but gets it up like a 7MGTE^

[PorterzSupra]

forced induction but... again non 7MGTE! :icon_bigg

[PorterzSupra]

Yea Turbo vs NA is VERY easy to detect.

Top 10 ways to identify in non specific order

#1 Turbo
#2 Valve Covers, Turbo has 4 studs for coil packs, NA says 3000 in big letters
#3 Intake Manifold, NA has access port on top and Y pipe going to TB
#4 Oil filter, NA has a oil filter off the block, turbo has oil filter adaptor
#5 Turbo oil out, There is a big hole in the block for oil return
#6 Lines for watercooling running from thermostat housing back to turbo
#7 Oil pan is tapped for oil cooler return with GTE
#8 There is a sticker on the front that usually says GE or GTE
#9 The exhaust manifold has a spot for a turbo
#10 Yellow injectors = NA Grey/black = Turbo

I could keep going but im sure by now you can figure it out! =)

[PorterzSupra]

I am running a 7MGE with T61 in my 7MGTE turbo body so I know all the differences, hit me up if u need further info or even pix on the 2

[mkIIIman089]
