In the potential train wreck of the summer category, I am pleased to report that I expect to receive a rebuilt 7mgte with most of the drivetrain, complete electronics, harness, ic & oc etc thurs or fri... now the big question... do i pay someone to do the swap for me that has more experience...

well stopped and "fixed" a bulb with the wrong kind and fried my light failure sensor... did the rewire here: http://www.supracentral.com/content.php?article.111 and everything works again... may put the sensor back in if feel like looking for one... glad to have that damn light off my...

Kind of want to give it a shot.. but I am severely lacking engine swap experience.... likely I will chicken out and have to have everything delivered to a shop and have them do it... here's a pic of my current skill level for reference =)

thanks much for the feedback been thinking about what to do for some time now - researching etc ... some whining removed after some consideration, I think I am going to go with the general call to try to do a GTE swap for under 3500 - think i may even have a line on some good parts...

I was thinking that going GTE would be a good compromise and set me up fairly well for eventually going 1jz - more so than going na -> 1jz directly, experience wise and hardware wise (to a lesser extent...) I am worried about needing to do the hg, tb, new studs and retorque cost wise and...

good solution if the hookers would ride me around in their 1jz supras evrything else pretty much falls into place after that :)

here's the rough details on the car - 86.5 NA BHG 220k on the original engine i think... wiring looks ok, but it has been messed with somewhat ... still chasing down dead bulbs to drop the dash warning light for ext lighting... the speedo & fuel gauges are not working right, dash/console/gauges...

heres another - http://www.supraracerturbo.4t.com/photo2.html with some interesting ideas on the rewire....

there is much on the subject here and elsewhere - here's an example from my recent research on the subject.... http://www.supras.nl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=54 do a search and start organizing bookmarks... its a bit of a process just getting your info together

Woot! Gratz ! and a very easy to follow intructional video as well! noob city tech ftw!~ nex

More than welcome to hang out here - most of this has been a rehash of the stuff these guys have been going over and over anyway... call it a billings repair thread or something (perhaps we the "official" newb city this month!):icon_razz regards, nex

that would be phenomenal... was thinking i want an 86 na/t (that front lower grill just screams for an ic with that (IMO better) =P lookin nose but the likelihood of finding a clip to do it would be pretty damn hard to find... that and anyone else around the barn to help.... very very cool of...

I had a supra day yesterday... went to the bigger junkyards here - one was pretty good run out in the more rural area outside the "city" - visit with the attendant went sumthin like this.... me: here's a list of chassis and engine types i'm looking for...wondered if... response: eh... we...

quotes are from the local toyota dealership repair center heh

well, its confirmed ... here's the info off the page i know I prolly paid too much for today... 28pt inspection ////vehicle failed block test ///Compression test = 1=185, 2=190, 3=195, 4-185, 5=200, 6=210 ////Bore scoped all cylinders and all are scored & #6 is pitted ////Spark plug...

did a bit more research last night... couple quick questions and an update... so any 7mge engine will work- regardless of the fact that i have an 86.5? I was wondering if sensors or what have ya would have problems with the ECU in my car if i got a JDM engine from a year different than my...

been doing more research... It is kinda tough as most of the posts go something like this... Question: i have a BHG on an XX NA...<then sometime later> XXX turbo XXX?? Response: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!! when you dig far enough back you often find a guide repeatedly...

appreciate the insights.... be nice if it was something other than a 1k job right off the bat... i was hoping to do some of these things a ways down the line... (ie. when the engine went) but the gasket leak or whatever has kind of got me going on it sooner than expected.... my only...

greets! (skip to the end for the question if ya want - the 1st part is background...) I just got an 86.5 supra! I also just got the royal treatment by the dealer who sold it to me... at least it's startin to look that way... (edit - PICS IN THE NA PICS SECTION BTW) (best attempt at...

hey guys - just got a supra again here about 2 weeks ago... very excited as my last one was a silver Mark II... My new baby is an 86 na with about 190k on it... seems to have been well cared for...at least garaged to some degree (no dash crasks and very few headliner cracks.) Overall, the...
