converting 7mgte to 7mGE

[GU11TY]

ok guys got a qn from a mate. i kno its possible of course but has anyone done it.
reason been for p platers cant drive turbos and the soarer has 7mgte in so we were gonna rip off turbo mani and turbo and put in a GE exctractors n exhaust. but i kno the car wil run slow as but anything else do i have to change for him??

Or you can come and get the 7m i have that came out of my cressida

[Kedderz]

would be an absolute dog to drive mate, low compression 6 cyl, no thanks!
but yes it could be done.

u jsut wanva give it to me do ya??

[mr1jz]

For bugger all. Its yours

you hardly feel much diff between the gte an ge engines running them NA. I put many gte,s in cressidas running NA and yes if you didn't know you couldn't notice any diff .

yeh sweet thats wat i wanted to kno
but man stock 3L in 1600kg car is gonna be slow lol

[cambelt]

Ive never run a GTE with GTE managment in NA form . Only a GTE in NA form with NA managment.

so u recon i should get a 7mge ecu aswell??

[Mike]

not much point, would have to swap quite a few things over to support the ge ecu. Could run water injection to bump up the compression, but should be fine without a turbo.

Just a thought i had, but would the GTE injectors and ecu make the car run too rich once changed to NA maybe?

please explain??

i have never heard that one before

The GTE ecu is tuned from full vacuum to near 1 bar boost.
It will run fine in NA form.

As cambelt said, the difference will be barely noticeable compared to a GE.
I can happily take off from a stop in 2nd gear with my GTE (and thats with a 3.58 diff).

The 7M has truck loads of low end torque.

[GU11TY]

yeh thats what i like about the 7ms is the ammount fo torque they have
thanks for tha answers guys

Water doesn't compress.. Inject it at a controlled rate relative to rpm and in theory you could dynamically increase your cr..
