'89 7m Supra Eninge swap

[shroda]

I have a MK3 '89 7M SUPRA. unfortunately it has a BHG. i know how common this issue is thus have decided to look at a new engine, either a 1JZ or 2JZ. im not looking to spend all my money getting a new engine, but want the job well done and still want a decent amount of power out of the car. I havent really heard much about the 1JZ besides the fact that they were in the other models of MK3 supra.

Should be looking at a 2JZ, as i have heard how modifiable it is, or a 1JZ like what came in the JZA70?

If i go for the 1JZ am i going to be buying trouble or are they a good engine?

I live in perth so if anyone knows of a place i could pick up or could suggest a place for me to look to get a good, low km, TURBO engine from and/or get installed into my car i would appreciate it.

1JZ would be the go for you...

It's a very common engine swap as the Jap model JZA70 came with the 1J standard...

Check out the Toymods Car Club forums and I'm sure someone in Perth will be able to help you out...

exactly. 2jz does offer the potential for more power but is far more difficult to swap and much more expensive. 1.5jz is always an option....

I spun a rod bearing in my 7m and decided to rebuild it from the ground up to hold in excess of 350kw, a very satisfying build. Nothing pulls like the 3.0 L in my opinion.7m provides alot of torque and can be reliable if built properly ( MHG/ ARP studs bolts , torqued to correct specs)
