Kevin Shasteen Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Ok guys, I am factory engine code name illiterate I have attempted to read this forum because I find anything new to me intriguing; but you guys and your references to engines are leaving me out in left field. Please, for the other illieterates like me; when you make references to the: 1) 7m-gte 2) RB / RB26 / RB25det 3) Z3a / Z32 4) VG30DET 5) VG30DETT or any other name; please be aware I most likely am not up to speed. Sorry to drag any of ya'll down to my level-but I need help on the lingo. You might have to talk slow & draw plenty of pictures if you have to; with a little help I should catch on fairly quickly. There was a thread on the VG30DET/DETT engines so I'm kind've up on those & then a previous post about the 7m-gte...so I now know what year that goes to. I would also like to know if the engine being illuded to was a Push Rod, SOHC, or DOCH engine and or Inline 6 or V6. Thanks for the consideration.

slownrusty Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 7MGTE - Toyota Supra Engine available from 1986.5 to 1992 "7M" - Engine Family "G" - Toyota designation for Twin Cam "T" - Turbo Charged "E" - Electronic Fuel Injection Z32 - 1990 to 1996 Nissan 300ZX Chassis Code with an "a" usually means its an automatic Hope that helps ya. In Japan (and catching on here in the U.S) they never refer to cars by their regular names like "Maxima" or "Corolla" its always done in regards to chassis code like "Z32" and engine code like "VG30DETT" Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Kevin, Thanks for asking. I always wanted to know too, but I thought I was the only informationally challenged (ie dumb), so was afraid to ask. Keep 'em coming guys....(include car models too if you don't mind) Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zachb55 Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 well i know i few of the ones in car names like GT and GTR, commonly standing for Grand Touring/Racing editions, and in cars like the WRX its for the World Rally Championship edition, im not sure why theres an X instead of a C or E besides the fact that X is just a cool sounding letter... -Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Also what is even more important. Guys thanks for answering the questions asked. What may sound silly to some is very important to others. Nothing worse than posting a question or even e-mailing a question for that matter. To not even get the courtesy of a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 What is the engine code for the turbo buick? I'm still trying to decide what motor i want to put into my z car. i've been debating between the sbc v8 and a 6 cyl turbo motor. I know the grand nat motor would make my Z fly as would a 2jzgte (93+ supra motor for those who don't know.) how well does the turbo buick motor fit? how about the 2jz? if any of you have done these swaps would you mind talking to me about them to help me make the best choice. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
