A novel use for a 7M-GTE

[mkii_turbo]

Hey Guys and Gals,

I've had these pictures for years and always had planned to post them on a forum.

When I was in Thailand on vacation a few years back I spotted a long river boat powered by a 7M, generally they're powered by 4 or 6 cyl japanese diesels... So of course it caught my attention

Figure you might enjoy them.

All its good for. Then when it blows up, unbolt it and toss it in the water!

A 1jz would probably be easier to steer ......

NO TORQUE

 

[UberSupra]

and a 7M-GE for the anchor?

 

[LilMissMkIII]

That is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Yellow 13]

The Supra is a boat, so a 7MGTE is a boat motor. I see no problem here.

Also: Kyle sux caulks.

I guess a 1jz is out anyway hard to find Caps for the ecu in Thailand upriver

That thing must BHG constantly...no radiator :aigo:

 

[AlexSmith]

The radiator is below the boat.

It'll still run with a BHG though :icon_razz

 

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

That is FUCKING awesome!!! Should've bought the boat.

 

[Burntz]

did they go lex afm 550 57 trim? woot!

whats the 0-60 ? i bet that boat is fast

 

[Sawbladz]

No intercooler and a 4 ft long exhaust...I bet the throttle response is excellent.

Could you imagine a 600hp 2jz Turbo in a ski boat? The economy of it compared to a 454, 460 or any of the other common ski boat motors? Let alone the weight savings.

I like it!

Cheers,

Why would they even use a radiator? Suck up cold water from the river, and dump the hot water back into the river
