thank you guys, but 1st of all where would be the best place to get a 1jz and all of the other things that i would need for the swap considering its a 87, i think i already know i need a 89-92 crossmember, not so sure on the years though
Welcome, I wouldnt know much on the swap but I would guess some of the info you lookin for on the site.
I've done my research on the swap i guess im doing well for now, but i only have 1 question. Where to get the motor from? I've looked and found this site www.osakajdmmotors.com and i couldent really tell if they were legit or not, i guess im looking for some peoples opinion on this site. thanks
if i were you, ide go with driftmotion (if/when the get them in) jhot(look on ebay) jarcoinc or jdmexchange.
oh, and look into BIC motormount adaptors.

is there a popular EMS that a lot of supra owners like, or thinks thats the best for tuning purposes, or thats just plain cheap, i've seen a couple of guys use that mega squirt, something like a dsm link for the mitsubishi's/dsm's is pretty much lookin for but for supras
wow for real. most people were just tellin me to just go to a local shop and order it there and all of this bologna i was told, it seems like the motors there are pretty cheap there for the toyotas. im surprised
also wondering since the 7mgte has a compression of 8.4 to 1 how much psi would be good for a D.D on stock everything.
just wondering im kind of stuck between. i am kind of having a build issue idk weather i want to go with my DSM or the 7m because the 7m i have in my supra now runs well now but the wiring is just junk, and i guess that the thought of my DSM abandoning would just kill my considering that it is my D.D (which AWD is funner than my supra in winter). if any of you guys had to recommend anything for a person building their 1st 7m what would it be.
If the 7m is still strong why not keep it? It's a great platform IMO. Make sure the head is torqued down good, fix your wiring problems, 3" DP and exhaust, intake,safc or similar, and one of drjonez's MBC's and boost 10-12psi on stock setup.
I love my 7m and see no reason to go 1j/2j. Just my .02
Welcome btw. Whatever you decide there are plenty of resources and knowledgeable people on SM that can help.

Because he wants too.
He never gave anyone a sob story about his 7m, he said he researched, and he wants it. Best of luck to you,
And welcome!

Huh? He asked a question, try reading the post directly above my response. I just gave him my opinion based on his question.
