Does anyone have the pinouts and or wiring modifications needed to swap a 7M-GE car to a 7M-GTE in a Cressida MX83 body (1989-1992)?

I know that the Turbo ECU is used as is the engine harness, but what pins in the Turbo ECU are used to send signals to the dash and the rest of the body?

I know that there are some 4 door supras floating around this site.

Any information on the 7M-GTE MX83 body conversion would be nice to have for a sticky.

I have an '89 Cressida that I would love turbo. I would like to keep the automatic, though, seeing as how it is a luxury car. I could throw an R154 in it because A friend of mine has a Chaser parts car. I'm using the tail lights, head lights, grille and front bumper from the Chaser on my Cressida already.

I would part out the Cressida for the Chaser (duh), but it's a rollover and a hard broadside hit (totalled, obviously)... So it's going into the Cressida. I have also been throwing around the idea of a right hand drive conversion, but thats a LOT of work that I don't want to get into.

I have an '88 Targa 5 speed Turbo car that I did a turbo replacement and HG on, so I am familiar with the two engines and their differences as I can also compare the two side by side.


Thanks for any information!

Be aware that there is a slight difference between the A340E on the 7M-GE, and the A340E on the 7M-GTE, mainly, the GTE has an extra clutch pack to handle the increased power output. You'll have no problems bolting it up though :)

As for what you need to do mechanical wise:

Sump/pickup will need to be swapped
Use the MX83 Engine mounts (swap them over)

I would also highly advise registering on this forum!
