I am the proud owner of that lol. Hasn't really bummed me out though. It actually opened up a lot of options for me. So expect me to be asking around for tips on a swap coming up. And don't be afraid to ask for some engine parts at a mark down to make room in the engine bay and bolster my funds for a new everything
On the other hand a certain someone has about a 15 ton pile of argument for me to go 1jz now and any advice that anyone has would be a delight.

^LOL! You should now buy HonestAbe's 89, and then do the 1JZ swap. Use your grey interior, and whatever else is in the best shape between the two cars. Believe you me, once you have felt the difference in the way the 1J drives, you'll wished you had never wasted a penny on anything 7M!:nono::biglaugh:
I blew up a rear tire going about 140 - 150 km/h on the drive home and bent the rim... so now im back to stock sawblades and possibly even stock ride hight if i decide to take my lowering springs out..

I would him rather choose a shell that's rust free. Besides, my 89 is already being torn apart and being parted out. And yes, the 1J is an amazing motor that is absolutely awesome. It's a completely different animal from the 7M.
Damn, sorry I missed it guys. The little one is sick and I was home helping get him better. Looks like it was a great turn out and alot of fun. Hopefully I will be able to make the next one. Could be JZ powered by then, or maybe just a monster of a 7M haven't decided yet which way to go. Either way I'll have a complete motor for sale here soon...need the cash to finish my build, and get the damn hood I want....grrr... Duane why did you have to stop making them, I can't find a good one anywhere.:3d_frown: Well only time will tell...need to start a build thread.... Thanks for the Invite guys...again sorry I missed it.

Haha, it's really going to boil down to availabliltiy and price and to some extent time. I'll tell everyone what I felt the first time driving my Supra. I never felt so much power behind a car that had nothing done to it, and it felt like taking the loop on a roller coaster every time I put my foot into it. There are no closed doors as to what goes in for now, but 1jz seems like something a little more reliable for me and my cash flow. I wouldn't be surprised if I end up 7m-GTE though. Anyone want to start a pool? lol
The_Scuzz;1322568 said:
lol Here we go again. We have locals here pushing over 400 rwhp on stock engines, AND, get ready for this! They are reliable! yes, you heard it right folks, reliable, drives, rolls, boosts and even turns!!!

Ask Duane how many motors he has blown up :biglaugh::1zhelp:
1JZ FTW!!!
Ask anyone running 900+ hp how many engines they have blown up. Engine doesn't matter much at that level, there's plenty of guys blowing up 2J engines - or, for that matter, 'vette engines pop just as easily when you start pushing that many ponies.
More realistically, how about asking me how many 7Ms I've blown up. Answer? ONE, and I did it on purpose. It took 23psi daily on a 60-1 upgraded CT still running stock fuel AND a stock head gasket... and even then it took months of abuse before finally letting go. I did this as an experiment, as I already had the forged motor built and sitting in the garage waiting to go in.
Anyone who claims the 7M is weak is yanking your chain, or trying to blame the engine for 20+ years of abuse and neglect.

I agree. the newest 7m is from 1992. That is a long time of neglect. I didnt have a single problem driving down or driving back . Temp didn't even budge in the Tacoma traffic. What I did notice was all the smoking from the jz equipped cars.
( preemptive ownage...Gotta have oil to smoke, gotta have coolant to smoke, Gotta be running to smoke....yeah I get it )
Point is there is no point. A engine is only worth the amout of time and money you put into it.

Yeah I feel bad. My second turbo kept crop dusting nate while we were in the stop and go traffic.

Oh trust me I know... If you have cash then no need to use another engine. I ran a GT4088 18psi on a stock 7M with fuel support mods and a tune for man I don't even know... a long time... It finally blew up last year. But for me the 7M did have the power curve or the rev I wanted, and I did not want to put 20 grand into the motor so... I went 1JZ and so far I'm more than happy. The twin's are lots of fun and the motor is just a fun revving machine.
It boils down to what you want! Oh and how much cash you have. 1JZ runs you about 6 grand to complete give or take.

:nono: Matt was I smoking? I do sometimes on start up but never driving...
No Cory you were not smoking, I am not trying to personally bust balls . I am just tired of getting bashed because I have a 7M. I dont want to put a 1J in my car . There were so many 1J's at centralia they look like they were the stock option in the MKIII.
