willing and able.

So quick update (for those who care), apparently the harness isn't as jacked up as the magical mechanic says it was. That removes a good $1300 off the price tag. Me and my uncle decided on making a custom exhaust so that drops another 600 from the tag. And i decided on buying cheaper, less...

In my area these are rare cars. The junkyards here don't have the parts.

Due to the GTE's low compression I'm guessing. Isn't there a way to increase it tho? Like using the GE's pistons, crank, etc. ?

So it can't be done? Damn. I may be without a car for the rest of this year. Honestly the problem is more funds than anything. I've already done a part list of everything that would be needed to have the GTE run again and it came up to about $3600 and change (dr. Tweeks engine harness...

Keep in mind I have a really tight budget here. Little to no funds.

Lol, sorry. I had a few last night but I tried. Long story short, I have a 7mgte supra but it's missing alot of key components (IC, engine harness, intake, etc.) And I have a 7mge supra with bhg. I researched that both engines are the same as far as the head and block goes (The only...

Yep. Here goes. So I have two Supras (good news) but they're both not running (bad news). One is a engine swapped rebuilt 7mgte with no engine harness and a few other electronics, no radiator, no intercooler, no oil cooler. The other is a non 7mge with bhg. Considering the fact...

awesome, thanks man.

For a while now i've been trying to figure out if this could be done. pretty much, i would go on ebay to do a price check for an engine of my liking (whether it be a 1jz or 2jz) and see that a majority of the engines posted has ECU's but are of the A/T type. Is it possible for the engine...

ah i see, so its just the same old same old. well i guess the best i can do is ride with the GE for a while and go GE-t because this engine is pretty good and has 98k on it. i'd go with a swap but i'd feel like im throwing away gold. looking forward to seeing the progress of that swap unless...

sup guys, its been a while since i've last posted here i figured i'd come and update you guys on whats going on. since my last post, i've finally been given the honor to drive my supra a few times (in fact, just today i took it for a spin) and my thoughts on its performance have completely...

had a feelin' so stay away from vvti's? not that they're bad, but for the sake of simplicity of this project.

^^^ i wondered that before. infact i looked up an article somewhat related to that. if 7mge electronics can be used for a 2jzge http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?76796-2jz-ge-on-7m-ge-electronics. ^thats what i got^

nah, i believe you're right, although im going by the 7mge-t setup, but im thinking the same rules apply. also you think installing the 2jz-gte pistons on a 2jzge would also help the compression ratio? of course thats only if they have different pistons like the 7m engines.

im liking your area hvyman lol. and yea the build is something i decided to consider. i thought i didnt want to have to worry about BHG, so why not buy a ge, run with it n/a for a while then boost. but anyway, thanks guys, im getting my money ready asap. gonna be lurking the classifieds now...

ok i'll cut to the chase before my mind decides to go back to the 7mgte idea. i've heard of the 2jz-ge-t project and i've seen how underrated, at the same time, popular they are. i just want to know how much would a 2jzge come by so i can get my money ready.

lol, i know im late to reply to this but thanks. alot of things has happened that took me away from the supra, but now im back on it and im still considering the na-t idea. thats some good info.

the oem exhaust btw not aftermarket

cat-back and whoops
