Hey im from arkansas and i have a supra! I live in Sheridan. I have a 87' N/A.....maybe one day ill be turbo!

 

[mk3_dude]

sweet, another Arkansas Supra Member. welcome.

 

[juggy61]

Hey anybody interested in helping me do a GE-GTE motor swap? Not everybody is mechanically inclined:biglaugh:

 

[mk3_dude]

you mean, a 7mgte swap into your N/a?

 

[juggy61]

Thats the plan!

 

[juggy61]

Im tryin to find someone who has a 7mgte and all the misc. stuff for the swap and that will actually do it. By the way things are looking now.....thats wishfull thinking lol.

 

[mk3_dude]

it can be done, but it will be a pain in the ass. N/A-T's are stronger than GTE's when running right, but its a pain in the ass to get there with all the tuning and swaps...

The price of you swaping parts and buying a turbo for it, you can already get a JDM 7MGTE for 700bucks . plus it would be easier on you.

Ok say i get a 7mgte from osaka for 600, where should i take it for the install? you know of any good shops that you would reccomend?

 

[mk3_dude]

DAMN! I just looked up where Sheridan is, and if you didnt live so fricken Far, My bud and i can Put it in for you. But your about a good 6 hrs away. lol

The swap is easy though. If it comes with turbo ecu, harness, drivetrain, then your set to go.

Name the car!
(it's sort of relevant guys)

 

[juggy61]

will the 7mgte not bolt up to the N/A auto tranny? I was under the impression if i had the motor, ecu, harness, and all the other misc. stuff it would bolt right up to the tranny.

 

[mk3_dude]

yea it should bolt right up. Just shorter gears, if manual.

 

[juggy61]

cool. Finding all the little things for this swap is getting hard. I cant find a HAC sensor. Where should i look?

 

[mk3_dude]

also, depending on how much pwr you want to hold, the N/a w58 tranny is weaker than the turbo trans. r154
