I went into the shop today and used our Prosis system and printed off all of the specs for the 7M-GE and GTE engines. So now I can start getting ready for the build up.

Well unfortunately since I'm probably going to stay with the 7m I won't be able to use my friends t3 turbo because all of the manifolds for 7m's are t4. so I may be stuck with a stock ct26 for a while.

I would be more than happy with 300hp and if I can get more out of it that would be even better. I'm thinking with the head work and the aftermarket pistons alone it should put out some good numbers along with the turbo.

For each of for a set. I will for sure be interested in getting a set of these down the road.

So I'm looking at getting new rims and tires for my Mk3. I found some nice 18's. Front would be 18x8.75 +20 and rears would be 18x9.75 +20. Too much?

Each Brian Crower part that they have on DriftMotion is about $100 cheaper than what they have on the BC site.

Thanks Emilio. PM me or even hit me up on Facebook because as long as it isn't something your looking to sell immediately I would be interested. Cranks were exactly the same in both GE and GTE correct? I'll check out DriftMotion. My buddy just told me some places to browse and I already had a...

I think I'm leaning more and more towards 7M now... Brian Crower has some nice parts for it. Forged pistons for about $1000, bronze guides for a little over $200. head and main stud kits for about $350 (probably unnecessary for only 300+ hp but never hurts), Street/Strip cams for about $750...

So here's my question now. I have been searching more about the piston oil squirters. Some say you NEED to have them in a 7m turbo. Others say it's not 100% necessary as long as you run forged pistons. It seems to be about 50/50. What's the verdict?

Well I can get a decent turbo setup for either option for just the price of the manifold. My friend decided to go V8 in his FC so he's getting rid of his T3 turbo. Since he's working a job that pays about $1000+ a week he's not worried about money and said he would give me the turbo for no...

I checked on the one site where I was originally going to get the 1JZ (which in case anyone is wondering, is $1500 for the full engine with ecu and wiring harness and have it shipped to my shop) and found that the 7M-GTE is about $400 more than a 1JZ... Huh?! :icon_conf

The comments are all pushing towards 7M-GTE. But the poll says 73% say 1JZ-GTE swap. Do any of you 1JZ supporters have some reasons, advice or other information?

Yes the link worked. I just sent a request. Look for Darin Smith. The profile pic will be me in front of my Supra.

Thanks for letting me know! I'm currently in Bemidji for school. I'm originally from West Fargo, ND but it's still close enough to drive for meets and events.

I would like to become more active on these forums. I have seen a few Supras in the area and at events like MAP Proving Grounds and SCCA Badlands Region autocross events. I just want to find out who's in the area so I know who are some local guys that I can chat with about advice, parts for sale...

I only ran it on 91 octane. I have a little bumped compression but not very much. I made about 5 or 6 pulls. With every pull it gained horsepower because I guess my father told me the computers are really good at relearning for the way you're driving. Not sure if that's totally true but on the...

If I do go 1jz I was thinking about taking my entire 7m/W58 setup and selling it to help put some money back into the operation. I probably won't get much for the set up but someone else would be able to use it for maybe a spare or even a project engine. Who knows. Again this is all many months...

I had thought of doing that with a 1jz platform instead of a 2jz with a company called TigerJapanese. Only problem is they don't have any R-154's in stock.

Like I said the entire engine will be torn down so that I can build it in my Advanced Engine class next year so all gaskets will be replaced along with bearings and other odds and ends items that need to be replaced.

Thanks again for the help so far guys. I'm gonna wait and see what else people have to say until I make the final decision. I got plenty of time to decide anyways haha.
