Well its come down to this. ive had my 7MGTE probs and now ive got some money to into action.
My options are this.
1.Buy a New 7MGTE from a jap import yard....bolt up existing inletmanifold, exhaust manifold w/turbo, and put new HKS 2mm headgasket onto a new ported and polished head. This bolts up the existing auto gearbox etc......ruffly $3k
2.Buy 1JZGTE and bolt it up to the existing auto, but still have to get the wiring done etc..... ruffly $5k
3.Buy a 1JZGTE manual halfcut and convert it to that. But includes New wiring etc...all up round round $6-8k
So yeah, i want a manual so i think thats the way to go. Already been quoted $1.5k for a manual conversion to a 7MGTE so it would be cheaper to do it already with the engine out. Question is should go for a 7M again this time with a metal gasket etc..... or go with the newer 1J. Keep in mind that reliability is the key not power.
soarer help needed!! , its come down to this!!
