tell me what you think...

[JDM As FUCK EK]

Welcome to the site. Looks like a good start for a fun build. What are you main plans for it?

[Brian]

nice project

From now on, edit your post instead of starting a new thread. I just deleted 3 other threads of the same thing. Thanks :)

I plan on getting a swap to a 2jz..but for right now just get it running hard. i want to paint it, any suggestion? I also want to redo the interior, I bought the car for $200, It had a blown head gasket, but i changed it, Just want to put it back together and get it going... Any suggestions on what i should do?

[SW-21turbo]

Looks tight bro did u figure out what color is ur interrior ahha

[RevSnipe]

Blue i think lol

[SW-21turbo]

and u still dont know i passed by ur house that day we talked and called u but nothing

[RevSnipe]

it was to cold... i worked on it a little today

[SW-21turbo]

Thats tight did u get it off

[RevSnipe]

Nope, I just got the jack today and its raining

[Domesticated]

keep the 5m and put the turbofold from a 7m on it. plenty of power there. how did you find one for 200. if i could buy another mkii i would. in a hearbeat

[TatMatt]

Yeah as if that is going to be the simplest option...

First goto www.supramania.com I am not baggin on this forum but I am the only Running Supra owner and you need lots of info that I dont have.
Second start searching threads

Then ditch the 5m and either swap a 7mgte after you swap a metal hg and install some Arp studs.
OR you could go 1j,1.5j,or 2j. Hell you could even go 1uzfe. The 5m/7m is a waste of time and money for all that it takes to do it right you can swap a 7mge into it. The last supra with the 5m is 86 that is 22 years ago. you are going to have to completely rebuild it to get anything out of it and then it still is a 22 year old motor with 22 year old tech .



PICK TWO Fast,Cheap ,or Reliable

[SMG]

you picked the wrong car, pick another one.

[RevSnipe]

Off some old guy, the car had a blown head gasket, but i fixed it, and im planning on selling it when im done to get a 91 supra with a turbo. This is just my senior project. And a 5m is not that bad, but i agree when you say yank it and pu a 1jz, 2jz, 5jz or a 1uz. But that's money i dont have. If i were to get a 1uz i'd put it in a 91 or higher cause of weight, but im almost done, im waiting for a dowel pin, thats is all i need to get it running again, i had dropped it and i need to find another, i could've gotten it started two weeks ago, next i'll work on the exterior of the car, any color suggestions? amd any suggestions what should i do to the interior?

[cocobitzz]

oh god, ma60's are sooo ugly. i like the 5m a whole hell of a lot more than 7m's. what you should do is go 6mgte.

[RevSnipe]

why should i go to a 6m?

[TatMatt]

uggh!! I give up

Because it is the half assed thing to do. Why is hell would anyone want to take a bottom end from at the latest 1986 and turbo it??

So lets make a shopping list for this oh so advised swap.

Complete 7mgte head
Upper and lower intake manifolds
Exhaust manifold
Coil pack
Cam positions sensor
Throttle body
Idel Speed Control Valve
Throttle linkage
Fuel rail
Fuel pressure regulator
Fuel pressure dampener
Injectors
Ingnitor
Intercooler
Ic pipes
7mGTE afm
ecu
wiring harness ( making sure they are either grey plug or yellow plug)

I know I am forgetting alot but you get the hint.


OR you could but a low mile 7mgte and replace the head bolts with ARP and torque them to 85 ft lbs with a MHG

[TatMatt]

Meh! the only good thing about a mk4 is the 2j I know where there is a 2j with 45000 klicks on it in tacoma

[RevSnipe]

damn, how bout the mk3's? and will my tranny handle the 7mgte?

[TatMatt]

what about MKIII's I have one
Yeah the w58 will handle the GTE Thats what I have at the moment just need to up grade the clutch. The tranny can handle 400hp before it get sketchy. Your best bet is to get your 83 running good and dependable. Then get a nice MKIII with a jz swap.

http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89485

Maybe something like this.

[RevSnipe]

thats exactly what i want to do, that one is nice. i want to get this one done but the only thing im missing is a stupid cam gear dowel pin.

[TatMatt]

on what motor? The 5m ?? there are two cressidas in the arlington pull a part both have 5m's in them send me a pic and I will go grab it for you. You pay for shipping

[RevSnipe]

Ya the 5mge i will just let me take one when i get home. Ya I'll pay for shipping, i took out my ac should i leave it out or put it back in?

[TatMatt]

If it is out already then no don't put it back unless it is really hot where your are. I don't have any I just put power steering back in . No Cruise control either. I regretted the power steering delete and I wouldn't mind AC but I am just an old man ...I usually just drive the daily on hot days

[RevSnipe]

this is what I need if you can get it that would be great, i could get this thing running.

[SW-21turbo]

[Gsolo]

All this talk about doing a 5M or 7M...

YOu really would have to have a boner to toss the money into a M motor.

My opinion, just that, ditch the M and do a 1JZ or 2JZ. Cheaper than rebuilding a M to do the same power that a JZ does stock.

THings to keep in mind for a MKII JZ project...fabrication is involved, need good welding skills or someone you really trust who can. Motor mounts need made, tranny mount/crossmember needs made. You will need a custom driveshaft in most cases. And depending on how far back you sit the motor or not you'll have to fab the radiator mounting.

I have a friend currently putting a 2JZGTE in his 86 MKII , looks killer, looks like the way Toyota should have done it.

ANyhow, just my two cents...

[RevSnipe]

i want to get mine started then sell it. and get a new tuner. not sure what to get yet, something cheap but easy to build up.
