if you are worried about spending 8 grand then your definately owning the wrong car lol as "dependable"

4-5 grand at least including labor and the rewire as well as any pipings and etc etc needed I am guessing .
popsstyle said:
Lmao! 7m as long as you don't beat on it very reliable, been all over MS to NM too many times to count. Course if your in a situation where you need to rebuild a 7m then thats different story.

anyone remember Ferris Buellers day off when they drop the ferrari at the garage and those 2 guys go joyriding in it.:biglaugh:
totally depends on driver/maint.
I love both 7m & 2j. also have love for someones blue 1jz.

justin has a good point; 2j is best of both worlds.
1jz reliability, economy, foolproofness with 7M torque, useable power band and manly-er sound.
and that 4000-5000 figure for a 1jz swap is IF You do your own work. i know a guy whos coming to me for help after 4 years and $10,000 invested in an incomplete 89 NA to 1j swap.

+1, i start getting afraid those 8 whole lbs. of boost are gonna cause my intake mani to peel open like a soda can or somethin. i want a 1JZ sooo bad but i'm poor.
to answer the reliability question. i've heard one jays are a lot more reliable and you can easily make a lot more power without worries as long as it's done right... but i guess "as long as it's done right", that's true about any engine.
I have 307,000 miles on my 7m-gte (never been rebuild)and all I can tell you is that if you are good to your car it will be good to you =D
I drive a 7MGTE every day. I agree that maintained correctly it will be fine. My father has a 100% stock 89 Turbo, He has not done anything to the engine. He changes the oil when he should. He drives it at least 85% of the time and has no problem. (he has a few cars).

ive had a 7mgte, 7mge, and a 2jzge. i gave them all alot of abuse and took them on long trips. the only one that gave me the most problems was 7mge only because of things i did, not design flaws. i think you should go with whats in your budget, but a 4 cylinder is always a great dd that usually gets good gas mileage.

4-5 hours?
I was doing 20+ odd hours non stop save to refuel at 200k+ miles!
the engine (which ever it is) is only as reliable as the maintanace done to it. Don't take care of it and it will fail. Quite simple
It still blows me away how so many retards try doubling there horsepower on a 15-20 year old high milage engine with unknown maintanance. And then they cry about rod knock and swap engines.
I can tell you that from 5 years of beating on a rebuilt stock internalled 7M, they have only one flaw that's fixable (yep HG). Not rodknock. I even ran my oil low a few times. I also made about 10 1/4 mile passes with a broken fuel pressure regulator (running 20 psi on a CT-26 upgrade). Hit 29 psi a few times on accident with my 61- Still couldn't kill it.
