Tony240ZT Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 No fun, it's nearly stock.. I've seen this one before.. Actually I'm talking with a guy that's just put a 7m into his z car. He has the mounts done, car's not running yet.. I need to sell some cars so I can finish up my swap. Found a source for a t04 .68 A/R turbine housing for my P trim wheel for $100, think I'll bite. Then a bit more welding.. Talking to another guy that says he wants to put a NA 2jz, or a 1jz into his car for road racing. Guy sounds like he's leaning towards the vvti engines. Have had LOTs of people saying they'll do the swap, but only these other 2 guys actually really making some efforts. After a few of us get our cars finished up and have some figures I'm sure there will be many followers though. Just shipped some parts of to get powder coated, so should look clean too.

Guest 240Zduz10s Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 ive been tossing the idea of a 7m for a long time now..even before i got my z i was taking measurments for my first gen rx7.. the problem with these type of swaps is the wiring.. i suck at wiring.. so it always scares me away.. i know...im wimpy.. if you have wiring diagrams that are simplified let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony240ZT Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 The stand alone EFI/Ignition system I have from Wolf3D came complete with color coated wires, and clear instructions. The system was $1500 shipped to work with my engine. There are many other systems at different price ranges that would be as simple to install. Trying to mess with the wiring mess of the stock supra efi system is just not worth the trouble. I have some of the systems that I have heard about on my link's page off of my web page.

Guest livewire23 Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Have had LOTs of people saying they'll do the swap I'm one of em. I'm about 90% certain that I'm going 7m-gte, but money issues have pretty much stalled me in the water. I was all ready to go out and buy a supra, when the economy went all wishy-washy. This week I could barely afford to pay for gas and insurance. And the Z hasn't even been insured yet. But I think I'm about ready to sell the 280, and hopefully that'll give me enough $$ to buy a running Supra TT. Then I'll take any remaning cash and hunt around for another Z. Or I could always save the money and get a clip for this Z. Then again, Len's turbo motor is coming up for sale soon. that's awful tempting too.

Tony240ZT Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Yeah, things are tough... Going to have to sell off my orange turbo 240z, and my `81 280zx NA to get started back on this project. Hopefully they will sell well.. Looks like turbo conversion 240z's are selling well on ebay right now. Orange car is getting some paint, some new rings, and carpet. Seats have been recovered, turbo is rebuilt, and new tires on a set of 6 spoke 14" rims.. Hopefully should have it set in a couple months.

Clifton Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I will be doing a 7MGTE swap too. I have 2 more races this year for the 71 then I'll start restoring the 73. I have all the factory wiring engine and trans sitting in the corner. They can make big HP fairly easy, as easy as the RB's. I've been collecting parts for the car.
