Guest Anonymous Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 240Zduz10s, It was a conversion kit I bought from Don Cubertson who lives near Seattle. So far there's been about 7 MKII/7mgte conversion done by him and two were out of state folks. There's also some folks on the east coast doing these conversions as well. I did mine in the summer of 2000 it took a good 4 months of pecking away. Here's what came with his kit. Good used 7mgte engine with the correct oil pan and pick up tube Toyota's engine rebuild gasket kit Oil filter relocation kit HKS metal head gasket ARP head studs Firewall heat sheild 1 tube of toyota's f.i.p.g. Toyota platnum plugs Custom brackets for factory intercooler Factory intercooler All intercooler plumbing Heavy duty clutch-good to 300hp (7mge pressure plate with stock disk) Oil cooler and lines Replacment charcoal canister and lines Window washer bag and hardware Toyota oil filter Custom sub harness built for your application and connection kit Custom ac lines. if desired 7mgte alternator Power steering pump and resivor New belts Afm K&N filter charger CT-26 turbo Factory ecu Installation manual And here's a run down of what I did. -Replaced the HG with the HKS metal HG. -Machined the head. -Ported and polished the head. -Used the 5mge oil pump with 5mge pan (came with kit) -Shaved the motor mounts some so the will fit on the forward location. -Relocated the dipstick using the forward location. -Moved the alternator harness in the engine bay (5m and 7m alts are on opposite sides) -Installed the charcol can in a new location. -Installed the 90 deg oil relocation kit. -Use 7mge pressure plate which has more clamping power the the 5m one does. 7mgte pressure plate will not work. -Installed the MKIII Supra intercooler and custom piping -Had a 3" mandrel bent exhaust system made -Installed 1 Tacoma head sheld on fire wall -Installed a custom wire harness under the dash so that the 7mgte can live in the MKII. I know nothing of the wiring part as the sub harness was premade and installed by Don. -Installed 7m a/c compressor with custom lines -And installed some misc stuff and fabricated a few things. The swap wasn't too bad considering at stock boost it gains about 100hp than stock. The car is quite the insane sleeper at 3000 pounds with 4.30 rear end. I dynoed it last summer where it hit 291rwhp and 332rwtq. Here's a pic of it: My 7mgte MKII And last, check out the MKII Supra mailing list if you would like to learn more about these wonderfull cars. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mk2/ Sorry for such a long post. -Wade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conversion kit costed about $3500 and $4000 by the time I had the exhaust, machine work and other misc stuff bought/done. Yeah, I've heard of Reg. His artical was my the fuel for doing my swap. Infact, I was going to buy his Harness kit till I found Don's kit here in Seattle. As for a complete running car, I have heard Don talk about providing this very thing. You might try contacting him @ www.nix99.com or call 800-782-0682 Ask for Don Cubertson. -w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 FWIW, some guyon SupraForums is talking about selling MKIII with 1JZ conversions in them. I think that would be pretty danged sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffy Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Another alternative that I have seen is the 6MGTE. My friend put one in a MKII Supra. Originally they put a 7M in it, but kept blowing head gaskets. The 6M has yet to blow a head gasket. ERIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 240Zduz10s Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 what does the 6m come out of ?? what kinda power does it make stock? blkmgk: that 1jz supra would be cool its just too bad the mk iii are so heavy ... alot more fun in a 240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 A 6m is is a stroked 5m using a 6m crank. The 6m crank is the same crank thats in a 7m. This engine was what came with MKII Supra in Japan while the US got the 5m. It makes about 180-190 crank horse power in N/A form. The problem with the 6m is that your limited by it's stock fuel system and ecu. I have yet to hear of a 5m/6mgte running more than 10psi with out a ton of $$$ dumped into it. The 7mgte is built for boost.

Supra510 Posted July 15, 2002 Author Share Posted July 15, 2002 Wade, Sorry for the delay. You can see a couple of photos at http://www.Fiveoneoh.com in the Shasta 2002 pix link on the bottom row--primer wagon. My car dyno'd at 322 rwhp. Hope to get some more pix and the dyno chart up on a 510 site soon. --Also a couple of photos at http://www.sromagazine.com/gallery/index.php hit Shasta 2002 and go to page 27.

Guest Anonymous Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Nice work Anothony! I have always loved that 510 body and with 7mgte, even more so! Very nice custom intake manifold too. -w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra510 Posted July 19, 2002 Author Share Posted July 19, 2002 Wade, Thanks. I fabricated the manifold out of 1/8 inch thick aluminum which doesn't make it very light but did make welding alot easier. I used the stock Toyota flange and about an inch of the runners because of space constraints. I don't think I get as much torque as the stock intake as the runners are so much shorter but the hp is still going up at redline on the dyno graph. --Some day I hope to get some nice shiny paint like your car but I keep upgrading things mechanically--hopefully coming to the end of that soon.--Looks like your conversion is really clean also.
