Most 1jz comes twin turbo, and come Only in the jdm supra, might come in the European supra but not sure. the 1jz comes with more lower due to the twin turbo. The 7m is a single turbo engine, it has less power then the 1jz. IMO I think the 1jz is a better engine, but this doesn't mean the 7m is a bad engine. 7m are notorious for having BHG. That is the one tbig thing about the 7m, if replaced with a metal head gasket, the 7m can be as reliable as any other engine.
Ya i have the 7m motor looks just like that top pic on the last reply its single turbo still fast but how is that motorw

I just want to bring up the elephant in the room....whats with your username???
Nope. Not to sound mean, but if you don't know which engine you have (give you a hint, one of them is in big conspicuous letters on the front of the engine), you should probably not attempt to mod anything under the hood.
Not to sound like im comin back as an asshole but i dont know anything bout these motors thats why i joined the forum im use to honda and integra motors i thought it wS the 1jz motor my fault
You gotta learn somewhere and this is a great forum to learn. I know how you feel. I once thought I had a Integra Gsr, but turned out to be just an ls lol.
I mean i know bout all honda and integra motors the b18b the b18a b16a b20 and so on use to mod em all up ive honestly never messed with or really looked at a supra
Look around on the forum man. Use the search function, most of your questions will guaranteed be answered. If not then ask and someone will surely help you out.
To reiterate, you've got lots to learn before you start modding your engine.
Boost control is an easy way to more power, it's also an easy way to your first engine rebuild. There are things that you should do first.
1. Check for HG leaks. A compression test, a leak-down test, or a block test kit. Any or all of these is your FIRST step.
2. Re-torque the head bolts. If your HG is good, then do this. 72 ft-lbs on stock bolts, and you're probably good for 10 PSI boost.
After that, you'll need to start changing stuff out. Lots of paths to go from here. Lots of good advise to be had here, if you ask well, and are willing to listen.
