Question:
id just like to know if there is any inherent problems with this kind of engine, or this kind of car in general. there hasnt been any recalls and ive read something about headgaskets...what would i have to replace to 100% fix that problem? any info and\or links would be appreciated. thanks!
Answers:
The next problem you may have is the bottom end holding up under boost. You may want to invest and rebuild the bottom end before replacing the head.
Some have complained about the turbo being bad which is an easy fix. Rebuild or replace it. Also you want to get rid of the rubber piping and get custom intercooling piping because of the rubber eventually collapsing.
Chang the spark plugs to brand NGK.
The 7MGTE is a very good motor if you properly upgrade the mentioned parts. Many will try to get you to sway towards a 1JZ upgrade. The motor is a better motor but be aware that the swap is an expensive project needing you to locate a lot of parts from Japan and to customize alot of parts for the set up. I've made up to a little over 400 HP out of my 87 Targa so far and the 7M is capable of a lot more.
Does anyone have a Nissan Pathfinder XE 1995? I need to ask a question.?
It's a controversial topic between factory head bolt torque spec and just bad gaskets. The best way to prevent another hg failure on 7m's is to deck the head and block mating surfaces, and run a metal head gasket with arp head bolts. I've put 150k miles on that set-up no problem with a T67 turbine set at 20lbs boost. I have internal modifications of course but no head gasket failure yet!Fuel pressure specs on a 2001 2500HD 8.1L?
i had to help my friend swap that same damn cursed engine out of his supra 2 times!. he finally got a 1JZGTE. also your car is a 1987...i highly doubt the engine and car has been maintained. oh they are prone to rod knock...so dont race the carDoes the 2007 pontiac vibe come with heated seats?
Older Supras are tempermental. The phrase "fun when they run" definately applies. Blown headgaskets and rod knock are both issues with the 7MGTE. Newer engines (1JZGTE, 2JZGTE) were considerably more reliable (the 2JZ being considered a pinnacle for Japanese engine reliablility). If you're thinking about getting a Supra, I'd check out Supraforums and read up on all the little quirks and issues you're going to run into.More Questions & Answers ...
