What Engine are you running?

[charlesshen]

I thought it would be neat to see who has what powering the car.
be it 7M,7M-GTE,1G-GTE,1JZ,2JZ,1UZ OR OTHER etc....

 

[charlesshen]

So Ian, out of curiosity, why did you decide to go the V8 route? Didn't like the power/torque curves you were getting with the straight 6's? Wanted something different?

It's a bit of a no brainer Trav, double the capacity 15 Kg's less weight and brand new!

My car is seriously heavy and as I couldn't find anything lighter to swap the 7m into that I liked this was the next best option.

 

[charlesshen]

6.0 thats serious

7M Forever in my 92

I may try one of the trendy motors one day in another car. But my 7M is built tough, and should provide all the power I will ever want.

I think we can guess where this is going to end up.

This is funny in a way... I've been saying for years that a significant factor in the 'weak' 7M reputation is simply the fact that it outnumbers everything else out there by a lot.

So, if there were only 5 times as many 7M failures as JZ failures, the 7M would still be the more reliable engine... and this doesn't even take into account the fact that 7Ms are on average 5 years older.

I'm beginning to think you were always a little different IJ :burnout:

I never understood that point of view. I LOVE my 7m! Yes, I broke it, but I still love it. There aren't many engines out there that will take 160k miles of solid abuse. I boosted it every chance I could, even just going from one stoplight to the next. My buddy's LT1 camaro blew up at just barely over 100k, and his engine was 7 years newer (on top of being one of those "unbreakable" n/a small block chevy's).

I love my 7M's, I have had 3 in my 89 (two NA's, one GTE), two in my 92, and one in the 86.5...

Or the fact that it is weak stock.

Ok,

putting this in here before it heads that route.

If I even see the slightest hint:

of flame baiting. I am making sure you get banned

meh sux, blah r00lz. banned for 10 days. (tissimo since you are heading that route, consider this your ONLY warning).

So keep it on topic and not the X v Y threads.

Capiche?

--as you were!
