Stroked NA
- Thread starter Alan
- Start date
I figured as much now here is the big question, what is cheaper doing all of this work and make it a NA-T, or take th motor out and get a front clip from JDM and convert the car to a 1JZ? I know what the answer will be but I am trying to figure out how much money I am going to need and will I get it befor I retire from the Navy:icon_bigg.IJ.;1165757 said:Yes
(now you're getting it)
Everything seems to come right back to that thought. How hard would it be to do that conversion?
Pretty much a bolt together and go deal if you select the correct parts!
As much as I :love: my 7M with the $$$ I have in it I could have done a 1krwhp 2J and had $$$ to spare.

Thanks alot that is what I needed to know, so it sounds like I need to find a wreaked mark 4 or dig around in the Supra Forums.
If you take a look at my "profile", like that IJ? It's more than you have listed for the mods you are considering. I haven't dynoed yet with the Maft-Pro, I'd guess with my "butt dyno" about 235-240 RWHP. Higher compression means higher octane fuel, you wouldn't be able to run on mid-grade. I run 91+.
The only thing else I am considering in the future is maybe a better ported head than I have now and a larger TB. Possablity larger lift cams. Since the Maft-Pro SD conversion I've seen almost 7400 rpm, don't do that too often. Everything has held together pretty well, I have the IPP stroker kit. The kit would be useless if the motor is not put together right.
Still I would be really pleased to see 300 RWHP after all is done. You have to be realistic about what you might expect.

How about a top fuel dragster? Or something high winding like that B series that Honda boy loves?

You should have qualified that statement, O.W.

Well I see that there is alot of work and money to invest in a project like that so I have decided to look for a 2JZ and put that in my car but now here is a new question for you all do I use the factory Mark 4 ecu or do I use a stand alone?

You didn't need to spend the money you did to get the power you did. Seems like you have done a lot of different things over the years, when it wasn't broke to begin with. Sort of trial and error for your own benifit, as well as the community.
He doesn't need a 9" rear. Or propane, or whatever you converted to using. He doesn't need a T04Z following a GT35R, a Tremec, then an A340E. That sort of thing.
Bullet proof is good, but many don't need it. They just need to prep it right the first time.

Thanks nick im not so good at the abbreviation's.:cry:
I totally agree with the 2jzge na/t being the most efficent way to go, especially if your not familar with the 7m's little trouble spots or just would rather not pull the motor down and do a full rebuild.
Ive seen a few 2jzge motors now that were for sale for $800 which i believe is a bargain considering the fact you dont need to change pistons, rods or even cams if you are are looking for 400-500rwhp.
I realise you dont need to to change these things on the 7mgte either but the age of the motors now will almost certainly require pulling down before playing power games.
Id definately love to give a 2jzge na/t a go next time

But then you would be like everyone else.
your 7m is inspirational as well as insanely pampered/upgraded
i'd take your car ANY day of the week over a 1k hp 2j

doesnt matter what motor you put in, may it be a 7m,2j, or 1j. save yourself a whole lot of aches and pains and replace the headgasket // headbolts while its out! it wont hurt to replace turbo gaskets/exhuast gaskets, maybee even cam seals..
just fyi! hope the quest for the 2j goes smooth

I wouldnt imagine anyone going na/t wouldnt change the headgasket considering the compression ratio is a pretty vital component to a turbo engine.
The 2jzge never had a turbo to start with so obviously youll need turbo gaskets .
:dunno:
