Wow man....thats impressive! You should post a build up thread on it.

that is effin sexy lol ill prolly just be swappin in a 6 lug 4x4 rear end in it and let it ride maybe some traction bars and racin shocks

Everything I have seen you do is effin amazing. Nice job. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I like the idea of a 7MGTE powered 2wd mini. The 7MGTE is a lot'a power for a little money. It's got to be one of the best deals going hp/$. And aside from the gasket issue, I hear the bottom end is bulletproof to about 600hp.

Now for the hijack part of the post: Corey!! I've been puzzling about how to make a 4x4 replacement frame. It's the compound curves in the frame rails that were stumping me. You've given me some new ideas!!! And much easier for a 4x4 than what your doing, I think. Thanks for the inspiration.

Also, there are more than a few people putting 1JZ and 2JZ motors into BMW 3 series. 3 series cars from the mid-90's are getting reasonably priced. And there is a lot of nice wheel, suspension and brake hardware for those cars. How about a 400 hp M3 killer for less than $10k!!! Oh yeah! -- Matt

There is, he just hasnt updated it for years <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

Personally, i'd do a 1jz swap, my bud's been having issues with his 7m's... but if built correctly they will last (just not as many rev's, smoothness, hp or potential as a 1jz)

Yeah .. It's been a couple years now .. I started building the Trekker , so I had to kick the 2WD out of the shop <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

so Now that the trekker is gettin' close to completion .. I will absolutly revive the 2WD build thread !! I'm stoked to get on this one .. as I love the potential of the 7MGTE .. and as Greg has mentioned , build em right !! 1000HP possabilities

the engine I have is from the donar car , and I couldnt see dumping anything else in to it , but the 7MGTE

this one is all new/rebuilt !! block and head all reworked and machened with MLS head gasket , ARP head studs , RC racing 550CC injectors , walbro fuel pump , lexas MAF ... and the list goes on .. not dyno'd yet , but am expecting 400HP with the STOCK ct26 turbo ... not to mention , a simple upgrade of the turbo , could net 600HP !!! but do ya think I need it ? .. I dont !!






exhaust manifold , and shields .


front cover


and the upper intake ..

I thought the 7m needs a 57 trim(modified CT26) to hit 400hp, I know that is the numbers I am shooting for w/my '87 Supra.

Are you running a stand-alone or using the donor 7m's ecu for air/feul management?

I most likely will be going with a stand alone .. and from the info. I have gathered , is that I dont have to re-do the turbo .. I most likely will do that as well , but I want to start and run the engine for the "break in" with the stock unit . This is as far as I got , when I kicked it out of my shop .

resurecting an old build thread .. on going , just not much progress .. so today , popped the fatties off of the wheels to make sure they were going to fit
this is what it looks like with the tires stuffed into the fenders
