heres my .02. take it as you wish. no flaming ment.

ok, the mk3 supra came with a 7m. my opinion is to stay with the 7m and build it the right way. any jz motor is gonna cost ya out the rear to build up. 7m parts are a lil more common to find and cheaper to get.

and on another note, i know of a few places in the nothern alabama area that have several mk3's laying around rotting to pieces.

again, just my 2 cents.
i belive this is good for rep too!

the 7m is a great motor.. lets just put it this way, you didn't care enough, or pay enogh attention to keep up on maintence, so when the jz springs a leak which they will. you going to jump on that or say she's bullet proff and keep addin oil? any motor is prone to a bad bottome end with the lack of attention they deserve, there's reason you need to change oil too, oil is naterualy burned, and blow by gasses contain minerals and base/acids that break down oil..

also to much oil or not enough oil can cause problems of air bubbles in the oil at high rpms

go with any motor that will make you happy as they all do the same thing, make our cars go down the road. only you can choose what goes into your car, we cannot.

As much as I love my 7m, it will never be a 1jz or 2jz. You "7m is as good as a 1jz and it's cheaper" guys are either in denial or have no experience with the jz engines.

It will cost you as much to make a 7m reliable at 300whp as it will to swap in a 1jz.
