water sucks....

[suprasick]

So here in washington it kinda likes to flash flood... so last night the roads were kinda flooded and i had to get home. When I was driving the main road ahead of me looked like it had maybe 6in of standing water... well i was wrong, there was about 2 feet and the supra took on some water especially into the intake (ram air unprotected).

When i was going through it i was doing what anybody else would do when 2 feet of water was around you... screamin "oh shit" ... so mental note dont pull a dumb ass move like i did and try to guess a flooded roads depth....

So i took my hydrolocked supra to my local performance shop and he said that my engine was toast... its a non turbo and this is going to be my second motor swap but this time i wanted to go turbo just gte engine, wire harness and turbo ecu right? thanks

It's got to be easier than the 1jz swap, so I would say it's well worth the time and effort it will take you. You can do a search on here and find all of the answers you need..............lol

If you get the harness/ecu, it'll be just like putting the NA engine back in... but with a little extra weight on the exhaust side. :icon_bigg

If you need help, feel free to PM me, done it a few times.

Your tach wont work... thats the biggest PITA.

 

[suprahero]

If the tach is the only thing he's got to worry about then he's got it made.

What's up Matt?

^ same ole shizzle. Just out being my normal non-arsehole self. :icon_bigg


Seriosuly though, swapping 7mgte into an NA chasis is a BREEZE. Hell, I've done it twice. Thats saying a lot. :icon_bigg

 

[supramacist]

Well I say if you have already done a swap and are going to do another..., 2jzgte

 

[jazzsaxman1988]

Why do the 2jz? I'm pretty sure you have to cut into the chassis to make it fit. The 1jz is only slightly less powerful anyways

 

[supramacist]

why not just put a v8 in it. This is being done with the 305 gm block. I have driven turbo charged 4 cylinders and ya they run fine. But I would rather go with the 7mge than the 1jz. But that is just my preferrance.

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

^ I'd go 350 if I was doing all the effort. You can rebuild that mo-fo for next to nothing too! $300 would get you brand new everything just about.

 

[SupaMan]

did they even pull the plugs and try to get the water out or did they just go "oh its toast"?

 

[Finnon]

con rods wud probably be bent.

theres a guy in the uk who has a 2jz conversion

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

yeah.. water doesnt like to compress.

 

[suprasick]

yea they tried to pull the plugs and manually crank the water out and still it wouldnt turn and he also said that the timing belt was stripped of some notches

 

[Finnon]

where the weater stoped then engine turning most likely

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

Do the GTE swap. You know you wanna... :icon_bigg
