Engine Swap for mz10

[chefy83]

The standard turbo on the early M-teu engines were garret t03's right?
so what would be a good recomendation as a replacement?
or should i just not worry and swap in a 1ggte or 7m?
Car is a soarer mz10

by the time you shell out on a turbo setup for a MTEU you could have bought a 7MGTE for the same price and fitted it. 7M's usually go for 1-1.5k in decent nick.. wouldnt bother with the 1GGTE as you would need to waste time going out looking for GZ10 mounts/crossmember etc..etc..

good place to look for 7mgte's? ill need a gear box to..... hmmm

[chefy83]

like where i have looked im up for between 1800-2500 that sound right?

[Norbie]

Yeah about right.

Or 7m-gte too (go teh poo boys!)

[kingmick]

i would recommend a search and a bit of research!

[chefy83]

Hey im trying to be lazy..... arent conversions just meant to be easy.......

[mrshin]

Sure they are. Come visit one of us with a big enough fist of bills and I'm sure it can be a simple enough process...

Grab a few performance mags and start ringing all the wreckers you can find! Also worth trying various Toyota/Supra/Soarer forums as people often sell off their 7Ms cheap if theyre going to a JZ.

Just make sure you check for BHG before you buy it!!!

equasion

7m = $2000 + $1000 for BHG repair + boostcontrol = 250 hp

[chefy83]

thanks mrshin, but this is something i want to do myself but i will be needing help, i plan i be a posting whore over the next few months

[chefy83]

shoudnt been to hard from what ive read its a pretty simple conversion......

[Admiral coFF33]

get ya hands on a 1GGTE Gen3 if you can, that'd prolly be the best engine for your budget.
