    How reliable is the 7mgte?

    If You have to say "THEY CAN BE RELIABLE" then their not! How much do you have in your engine? If someone has to throw money at a engine to make "RELIABLE" then it's not. I actually blew a head gasket on one of my cars, and all I had was 3 inch exhaust, hard pipes, and apexi intake. The other...

    How reliable is the 7mgte?

    Honda civics are very simple engines, and very reliable. Thats why everyone has one. Don't get me wrong there are also a lot of supras, but I'm willing to bet less then half are on the road. If your not familiar with the surpra, don't have cash to burn, and need a reliable car STAY AWAY FROM A...

    How reliable is the 7mgte?

    idk.... I've had 3 with bhg and personally know of 6 friends that have had bhg or rod knock. To deny that the 7m is problematic engine would be naive. To use the supra for a daily driver is a gamble. If you need a daily I would sell what you have and take the money you where gonna put into the...

    How reliable is purchasing a JDM engine?

    Well, if it had paperwork.......then its legit ! should of said that in the first place! Point is that they are not reliable. You still have to tear them open, check internals, refresh, and rebuild if needed.

    Read the fine print. If you do it yourself its usually not covered. It has to be done by a certified mechanic.

    How reliable is purchasing a JDM engine?

    If you go jdm you would have to rebuild anyway. At least bare minimum would be to put all new gaskets and seals. So if you gonna do that you might as well do a rebuild. also your gonna want a new oil, and water pump. Do it right the first time and you'll be a happy man. I haven't looked at the...

    When does your car get down here? VVTI is supposed to have a wicked low end. I start vacation today, and plan on getting my car on the road and legal before I go back. all I need is to get exhaust mated to my downpipe.
