I have a mint Mk3 Supra with a 7M-GE engine . . . first engine had big ends fail after 115,000 miles, and my second engine has now done over a hundred thousand miles, so I figure it may be on its way out soon. And the best option seems to fit a Mk4 N/A engine, as they seem much stronger and reliable. (Please note that I hate turbocharged engines!)
Here in the UK there are a lot of complete 2JZ-GEs from Mk4 Supras for sale quite cheap.
I can get an engine complete with ancillaries, ECU and wiring, plus bell housing to fit my W58 for about $500 . . . so that looks the best way to go.
HOWEVER . . I have trawled through numerous posts, and still haven't found the answers to everything I need to know before considering proceeding with this swap. (This is not a hobby car, it's my daily driver, so would want to be sure I have everything and know everything before proceeding!)
There is plenty of info about Turbocharged engine versions, but they're quite different.
Is there ANYONE on here who has fitted a 2JZ-GE with a Mk4 ECU and Loom into his Mk3 Supra that I could ask a few simple questions? It would save hours of heartache!!
I understand most of the issues . . but I want everything on the car to work as stock, so there are lots of small details I need answers to. Someone who has actually done this swap in a similar way already has the answers, so I hope they will want to share the knowledge to a fellow Mk3 fan!
Once I have all the info to do the swap I will do a proper write up on here, so all the questions and answers will be in one place to make it simple for anyone else going down the same route.
