7mgte in a s13??!?

[skizsystem]

i know theres alot of people who hate on the 7mgte but i happen to have a whole swap from my old supra (rip ) and im curious to know if its been done before? i know there are kits sold for easy swaps for 1js and all that but i highly doubt theres anything for a 7mgte. to me this would be an interesting swap and i can still have my old love with me in a sense. but realy my main question is to those who do fab work and more custom stuff
1. what would i do for tranny and engine mounts
2. what kind of fabrication will be needed?
3. is it worth it


and just for good reference its a rebuilt 7m with a pretty fresh turbo and hks headgasket. mofo had some nice pull to it at 12 lbs:naughty::naughty:
thanks, and dont hate on my thread!

[IMPORTIMAGE]

dont waste your time, go 1jz

[skizsystem]

point is that i already have the whole motor, trans, ecu , and wiring harness. dont really have money for a 1jz swap. trying to be unique here but in my eyes if it can pull off some sick long drifts and smash on almost anyone i took on in my 3800 lbs supra, then i can only imagine how it would feel in the s13.

[Hailtothesilvia]

sell it. I think you're better off going SR or KA-T

[skizsystem]

sell it. I think you're better off going SR or KA-T

id rather just drop it in another supra. or make it a sleeper in a cressida. i just dont wanna get rid of it cause its all i have from my supra and i love that thing. i think its a problem i should probably seek professional help....

[s14tan]

Keep a stockpile of headgaskets.

[ChicagoS14]

7MGTES are garbage in a Supra already, taking time and effort to put one into a 240SX is a FAIL waiting to happen. Dont waste your time and just get a real engine. The 7M is not only a 200 hp engine that is lazy as hell, it barely makes more power then a KA with 7 psi on a junkyard turbo setup. On top of that its not only complicated and unreliable its an old ass engine.

[!Zar!]

Why the fuck would anyone want a 7mgte? That engine sucks hardcore.

There was an idiot here in Norcal that swapped a 7mgte into a FD.

[hassanbakar123]

there was a post a while back it was a green s14 with a 350z front end and a 7mgte swap and i think he used the r-154 tranny.....
i wounld waste my money or time with that swap.....part out the car....

[Darth & Vader]

Keep a stockpile of headgaskets.

Amen to that!

LOLOLOL! I saw that car also, funniest looking 240.

[frftw]

idk if somone had the fab skills nd the chassis nd motor lying round that would be kinda cool to see but paying other ppl to make mounts nd wiring ect it would just be uneconomical. tho it would be cool to see you would probably be better off with some other motor. also think of it this way: less weight over the front you handle better! those strait sixes hang over the front liek mofos

[towlie]

7m? Why the hell would you swap that motor?

Shit, you'd be better off with a 5m

[zurud]

The 7m tranny and engine mount is the same with 1JZ. So any kit for jz swap for s chassis will be the same. I think you should do it instead of spending another 2k for 1jz. The engine is already been rebuilt with hks headgasket. If you don't want the 7m, I'll take it of your hand.

well i have a couple of buddies that are willing to help me out with the custom stuff they pretty much just told me find out what you need

[camaro379ss]

It would be one of those things that would be interesting to see once....but still not worth it.

[redline racer510]

IMHO the 7m isn't an interesting swap in terms of being unique, maybe in terms of blowing up but not unique. Even with the hks HG they aren't that great( high mileage, old technology, headache to work on, there's a good reason you don't see too many 240 owners swap them into their S-chassis). Just sell it and save yourself the headache, please I don't even want to see a 7m swap thread.

if this is correct i say do it just because everyone doesnt want you to.

if you think the motor is still reliable enough to take a beating, and you're that attached to it, which i think you are, then go for it.

put whatever engine in whatever chassis you would like and stop seeking the approval of the drift community. theres pros and cons to every swap as well as haters and purest who are just gonna flame you all day for asking this question. put your engine in and if at the end of the day you regret it... then well you live and you learn... or rock your 7m at events, tear some shit up and earn some respect... simple

im not askin for anyones approval i just wanted to know what would be needed. i figured there would be plenty of assholes who would shit on the 7m but more then likely none of them have ever had one or researched there potential . im used to the hating cause i heard it all day when i had the supra. and im not worried about high mileage or unreliability. when my supras rear end was smashed in the chassishad about 85000 and the FULLY rebuilt motor had less then 20000. but now that i know i can use 1j mounts i might just go for it. under rated motor in my eyes.

[c-los13]

dont these engine come on 92 cressidas too??
if they do, i dont think the 1j motor brackets will work since they sell mounts to fit 1j's in cressidas.
im just saying

on the other hand....whatever rocks your world man....if thats what you want...do it!!!
it wont be the best swap for your 240sx and you know that, but its worth the try i guess.

your the man!!!! Haha

[statickx991]

honestly very diff swap in my opinion. i agree with clos13, show people whats up and rock it. built it show some people what it can do. i say go for it. you got it so do it.

[revcyanide]

vacumn lines. fuck that

[murffy]

Just do it man, if you could rip it up on the bigass supra, it should feel like pretty nice on a 13

[!Zar!]

Yeah, do it.

I dare you.

BE DIFFERENT

You have to use cressida oil pan and pickup because it's front sump.

[GeneralTso]

if you think you're capable of wiring it up, go for it. just get a 1jz mount kit, and go at it.
can't be too much different.

[310R]

Don't listen to them,swap the engine if you want.We are currently finishing a build on one of these motors in a mk3 supra.It should make about 650hp on low boost and close to 800 on high boost.This motor has plenty of potential,headgasket problems were a torque and finish issue.Fix that and you have a bullet proof motor.We thought about 1jz but getting parts local or anywhere is tuff for those motors.You may have to fab mounts,but that can be done easily.Goodluck with the swap.

thats what im talkin about. like i said hks headgasket with proper torque specs. i know a guy that has some hks cams from an old 7m he parted out. if i can get ahold of em it would be tits

[FaLKoN240]

That motor is garbage.

I wouldn't even consider swapping one into a Supra if I had one.

My friend has had 3 7MGTE motors in his MKIII and now has stopped driving it or trying to repair it because he is sick of that piece of shit motor.

It's ugly, sucks to work on, heavy and unreliable.

Good enough reasons not to keep it.

[ArBy25DeT]

jeez...didnt realize how many assholes were on zilvia....all hes trying to find out is what he needs to make the swap happen lol...he obvioulsy has put his time into the motor and knows what it is capable of since he already ran AND built it lol...so stop talking all this crap to keep a stock head gaskets lmao...dude i would help you more but idk much about the toyota swaps...good luck with the swap if you go thru with it!

That motor has coined the acronym: BHG

[skizsystem]

just sayin.... the supra had beat rb20s and redtops

just sayin... the supra had beat rb20s and redtops. and it aint ugly... i got the cool coilpack cover

[holybushoffire]

Someone around here just sold their 7mgte S13 and it was a pile of dog shit. it doesn't even look good in the engine bay.

[n8RPS13]

I say go for it man!!!! The 7MGTE sound fucking gnarly and as far as Im concerned all these dumbasses that are saying "keep a bunch of headgaskets on the side" obviously are just listening to other dumbasses. It has been proven that if you go by Toyotas suggested torque specs you are going to blow a H.G. If you over-torque them you are GOLDEN!!! Toyota NEVER admitted to this as to avoid a recall! Rant over :)

[s13boy89]

uhhh you cant use the jz mount kit you tard not even close it only will bolt up to a few cars with certain brackets

[SaltyS14]

I know this is a dead thread but did you ever do the 7m swap?

[tauntdevil]

I dont think he did it, if so, I would be interested to see the outcome.

[zerodameaon]

WTF PM THE GUY... no need to bump this shit.

[tauntdevil]

WTF PM THE GUY... no need to bump this shit.
I didnt bump it, salty did. I replied not seeing the date because it showed up on the relevant section when you first get to zilvia.

[zerodameaon]

Not talking to you, talking to salty.

[can24]

:rawk::rawk::rawk:you should have made a build thread here. it would be a bad ass thread

[SaltyS14]

my bad... i think it was interesting and the fact that im doing the same swap cause i was in the middle of building a 7m for my MKIII supra when super storm sandy killed my car. then i picked up a 95 240sx se for cheap and i figued why waist the 2k i spent in parts building this 7m when i deff know i can put this thing in my 240. i know its not a popular engine but i know this this motor inside and out and if you build it right it'll give y ou 450 whp all day long and have more tq than you need. i'll start a build thread when im done with the thing but dont hate on the 7m its a good engine as long as you take care of it i'll take care of you.

[Kingtal0n]

7M? Wasn't that a ship that sank and was never recovered?

Or was it the 7M that was a city buried under a volcanic ash...

either way, its toast. Anybody got any jam?
