    what is the optimal coolant temperature for a 7m motor?

    very true, i think its 3 degrees every psi or vice versa. what are the disadvantages of water other than the possible harm it can do to the block, and low boiling/high freezing points? im not saying antifreeze is a horrible coolant, im saying by itself w/o water it is.

    truee...why waste your money on a 7m if you want to go 2j anyway...thats the way i look at things, thats why i stopped doing stuff to my last car and i dont want to do anymore to mine.

    1jz, 1.5jz, 2jz-gte, 2jz na-t

    How do you build a reliable 7m? lol. Ive pretty much ruled out the 1j cause i feel you could do more with the 7m. But going 1.5jz seems like a pretty good swap, even though after you do all the work u still have the stock twins. How do you save money with a 7m? I seem to waste money on it hah.

    1jz, 1.5jz, 2jz-gte, 2jz na-t

    Thats another reason i like na-t. Id probably go with a masterpower, but i wanna be 100% safe so i might go with a little bigger hg.
