if i go the turbo route, since ive never owned a turbo car or worked on one exetensivly. is there anything i need to be wise too, or know about so i dont blow it up or damage something because i was ignorant?

yeah im thinking that if im going to do it right ill have to go NA 7m. for 3k i should be able to do: bc cams, arp head studs, obx racing exhaust and other little mods here and there.

single turbo's are good for nothing but drag racing....

i understand, but i have no idea where to start. dont get me wrong i love a good cammed v8 but i dont think i could afford an ls sereies swap right now. i only have 3k to work with.

i would but i dont feel like beating the firewall back 3 inches being that my supra is an '87

unless you can give my a website, and some insight i have no idea where to go on that one. i like the sound of both and respect both in different ways. other thing to think about is that i NEED a manual tranmission. and i dont think i can swap any of the ls series and find a t56 for around...

both of those ideas i understand werent pratical. my main focus now is either 1uz or 7m-gte

i was recently thinking about a 1uz and using my w58 with an adapter plate and i can afford it all, but the wiring scares me away......

thats the other problem i have. ive been looking around lately and even if i can get a 7m-gte the only way i can get a wiring harness and ecu is if i buy the motor with a r154. i can find the ecu for sale seperately but not the wiring harness. i really dont think that a 7m-gte with ecu, wiring...

true, i didnt think about the different piston design. i would go 7mgte but unless i build it with an intercooler and good internals and a set of cams i wouldnt be gaining much with a stock 7mgte would i? in that case i might as well do 7mge with arp head studs and bc cams. those are my two...

if i could find a 7mgte for that price i would not argue or look at it twice, but i dont know where to find used engines like that except places like jdmenginedepot.com. also i want to do a 5m head because it ups the compression ratio and its easeir to set up itsb's with the intake runner design...

ya i thought about all of the wiring work and mounts and other bs, and im throwing the v8 idea out the window. if i go 7mgte i still have to buy an intercooler and piping and should probably go through it and make sure the block is decked and it is nice and balanced. i priced a 7mgte at 1500 and...

ya i mean you guys are on the same page as me. i was thinking 1uz or 3uz but i can only find a 1uz with an auto transmission, and i refuse to drive a vehicle that doesnt have a clutch. how difficult do you guys think it would be to drop a chevy v8 in? i know its not a purist thing to do but...

i have a 1987 mk3 with the tms and an lsd and a 7m that has 217,xxx. its already eaten 3 hg's because the block is warped and if i pull the motor i want to put something else in. i have about 3,000 to work with for a swap and i dont know what to do. any opinions and thoughts would be nice. i...

im really interested in doing this mod. do you have pictures of a finished product yet? and do maybe a drift video after its installed so we can see the difference? thanks

i haven't done the swap yet, need to save up some money first. but what are your ideas on water meth injection. if im going to give the motor a once over before putting it in i plan on bc cams and i want to do a water meth injection setup so down the line if i want to run more boost i can do it...

thats good information to know

you could just burn through your rear tires and then keep the 17x8s in the front and then get 17x9 in the rear. unless you want all new wheels....

i would go 17 x 9.5 + 15 and like a 265 or 285 cause i can fit 245's on stock wheels just fine. so why not go wider and not stretch

if stock wheels are 16 by 7 +37 what is the backspacing on stock wheels?
