There was a reason they swapped the 7M-GTE for the 1JZ-GTE in the Twin Turbo R. I blew up three 7M-GE's in my Cressida before I went to the 1J thanks to the head torque issue (and when I did it, the info about the head bolts wasn't known). Also, the 1JZ and 2JZ were both released at the same time. 1JZ for the JZA70, the 2JZ went into the JZS147 Aristo. The more you know. 😎👍

This videos gonna blow up then all the JDM kids are gonna want my dream mk3 supra

Anyone that knows what a 1J and 2J are will know of the 7M-GTE. Great video, I love the part where a 7M-GTE is pouring concrete to lay the groundwork for the 2J😂

Also the 2JZGE was basically the 8MGE, because when I swapped in my 2JZGE I reused all my 7MGE electronics, including the flapper door MAF, minus the igniter and O2 sensors. It even passed the sniffer smog test!

I had a Cressida. I built a 6mg. 7mg block with a 5mg head. The 2 valves per cylinder handled heat on the turbo better and it fucking ripped. I miss that build. Lost it to the cops. Forever in my heart.

There is another hidden gem by Toyota called the 1FZ. It’s a 4.5L petrol Straight 6 that can be found on Toyota Land cruisers! They use the engines for sand dune hill climbs in Dubai! People there are pushing crazy power figures out of them! There is a video out there of a 1FZ swapped GT86

BUT there's is even more crazier engine than 2JZ/1JZ AND 7mGTE it's 1FZ-FE 4.5 liter inline six engine :D 99% people never heard of it

something "neat" about the 7mgte is its ability to produce lots of torque due to being undersquare, meaning its stroke is larger than its bore, where the jz engines are equal. This is what gives the 7mgte its unique sound and high torque output.

The 7M-GE also came in Toyota Crowns. My dad had the MS133 Crown Royal Saloon, dark blue interior with auto swing air con, seperate electric seats and rear fridge.

Don’t forget upgrading the oil pump is also essential. After that you’re good for that 450 hp without forged internals

great video, but definitely a list of pro's and con's were a factor. thanks for making the video, i did enjoy it.

I had an 85 Cressida with a 5MGE as my first car in high school ~2003. That car was an absolute tank.

This video makes me miss my 7M-GTE Swapped MKII Celica Supra I had when I was 13. Such a beautiful sound.

This is a quality video and a good history lesson for me, subbed.

Very cool video! Good voice and voice over, it was fun but had a serious tone. A+ brother!! Keep pushing!!

Miss mine. Had three different mk3 supra's over the years. Last one was in early 2000s. I had the head gasket issue myself but after ARP head bolt equipment, gasket and proper tq it never gave issue again. The last one I had was making over 400hp and still no issue.

After years of owning a Mk3 Supra and heavily modifying it. I had to have the 2jz platform. So with that being said I also had to have the best transmission GR T-56. So now I own 4 lexus Gs300 cars with the holy grail 2jz engine. 5 2jz running engine's and I love each one. Just a wonderful piece of machinery.😃🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

i loved this video and i learned something i didn’t know i appreciate it

My black turbo 89' supra targa top r-154 built with maryin crawler 5spd . Its been making pretty big power for several years with the original 7mgte. Had the block resurfaced with the front cover on to match . New headgasket arp studs with turbonetics T4 (20psi) 2 stage clutch, 550 injectors ( really need bigger ones now) , higer pressure fuel pump , Apex cold air and N1 can and 3" from the down pipe back its made lots and lots of hwy hits and from a dig . I bought a 2jzgtte but didn't have the heart to swap it. Oh my soup is my thumbnail lol.

Beautifully said, great video

I had a mk3 and 4 . The 7m I bought it stock then built 3x made a lot of hp but as said the bearings .. this was the early 2000, I did the 1j swap later made it a 1.5jz. Sold it (capitalized). Got a poor-mans Supra (sc300) sold that capitalized more ). Finally got the dream ..sold it and watched the new owner crashed it on the Van wick. Wtf moment..

I took my grandpa’s mk3 and fully rebuilt the engine with forged internals (engine had a blown gasket so why not get everything replaced the first time taking it apart) and slapped on a kinugawa turbo.. making 400ish but I definitely feel confident that I can push more into it

Excellent video and your words are so true. Too many people bag the 7mgte for the old saying, oil issues and head gasket and will always go for the 1jz or 2jz. I'm happy with my 7mgte

In my place,the 7m gte also available in a toyota crown,mainly use for taxi,they need that engine and power for the mountain and uphill pass

Me and my dad have been building a mk3 7mgte poopra and we’re hoping the car making sounds 600whp it’s built. Everyone hates on it but it’s been working for us

the non turbo 2jz is a good swap option because of the price being a ton cheaper. but also another great option is the Honda k-series swapped in Rwd mode. the crv and accord k24 engine can be had for like 300-500 bucks.. not too shabby. can usually get 300-400 hp out of a 250k miles accord engine..

Thank God, finally the 7M getting love, I was only telling myself yesterday I'd love to get a 7M

I have the mk3 now and it is still pulling like a train 7mgte power baby

I had a 7mgte in my 93 miata it was a ton of fun

Just finished working on a 93 Supra w/blown head gasket. Was not the first gasket. Inspection turned out it was at least the third time. After multiple cylinder resurfacing compression was raised - not good. Cometic gasket .060, ARP studs torque to 90 ft.lb. a new stock turbo (customers car not ours). Runs like a top. 😁

My favourite supra with my favourite engines,the 7m's and 1jz's.

Good channel. I hope you succeed bro.

7m's had spark plug galley gasket issues too. Great motors, but some issues for sure.

i like when you whistle when you say an "s"

Ive never had good luck with 7M's my first one had a mild head gasket leak, coolant not in oil, just in cylinder, had good oil pressure even like that, put a reco head on arp studs and a regular head gasket. Two weeks later it had rod knock and id not even taken it up to 5000rpm yet. I put it down to the increased compression due to torquing to 90 vs 45. Too much extra load on the bearings, possibly pinging. I had the timing set to factory specs but with less quench area due to the more squished gasket. Then a mate got an mx83 also, replaced head gasket, blew first track day and got rod knock at the same time... Bought warrantied engine. Its bores were bad though it appeared to have a reco head. Idk i feel like a 5m-e would have been a more reliable proposition.

I miss my mk3 target top, 7mgte, but do not miss always working on it and searching endlessly for 30 year old parts lol

Australian and Kiwi kids have messed with damn near EVERY Japanese built engine available as these 2 countries had the luxury of getting in copious amounts of Japanese vehicles BEFORE the Fast&Furious craze

Thanks for doing justice to a legend bro

I went through seven 7Ms in my 3 MKIIIs before finally going 2J. I loved them, but they would blow headgaskets then get rod knock after. I eventually bought a built 7MGTE and it was a BEAST. Zero complaints until I had to sell them all eventually

now you can swap out for a L88 by GM, the amera barra, They are still fairly cheap and there is starting to be aftermarket support for the aluminum block 4.2 liter inline 6.

My first car was a MK3 supra manual turbo, It was baller.

Basically do all the oiling mods for the 7m and keep up on maintenance. I keep mine at a religious 2500 mile oil change interval.

one of the best headgasket exploder : 7m-GTE.

What is the name on the body kit on the MK3 at 2:30 mark? Thanks.

Rn I have a mk3 supra 7m with .5 over pistons turbo rods , metal head gasket arp studs turbo cams wit a gt35 turbo and I'm gonna have it running on fuel tech soon

Always loved the 7mgte

do a comparison video on the 1jz vs 2jz . price/aftermarket support/reliability..etc ...

Bro lots of people know of that motor but great video

Should do a video on the 1FZ the engine a most all tuners have over looked.

THANK YOU! Feel sorry for these who yanked the 5m in the cressy thinking they were on to something 😭☠️ prices only going up now 🥱

I have a Supra Turbo targa with a 5-speed and the 7MGTE. It has a slight knock when warm, so it needs a rebuild. I'd rather beef it up than replace it with a JZ series. I'd like to put a stand-alone on it and try for a reliable 400HP. People who go on and on about how great Toyotas are like to ignore the whole improperly torqued head bolts fiasco on these. They also ignore the early 3S oiling issues, and the 2007 class action lawsuit regarding sludge in the 1MZ engines, and the 2020 recall and recent class action lawsuit over bad fuel pumps, etc. Supposedly the Prius unintended acceleration thing was down to floor mats getting bunched up, so maybe I'll give them a pass on that.

good vodeo bro well explained

I would love to take a Celica Supra and take the stock inline 6 and build a turbo for it and have some fun, I like the Celica Supra since it's kinda just like a big AE86 with 2 more cylinders, and it's cheaper than a AE86 so it's not a bad deal for me atleast, just have to find one for sale since they are getting a little bit hard to find now xD

Buddy had one pushing 650whp and the 7mgte changed my opinion on toyota completely

Toyoa 90 to 94 1uzfe 4.0L v8 with a turbo on it. Makes good power and strong engine. Highly reliable. People don't know much about them.

This is why i love yotas

how does the 1G-GTE compare as well?

I blew my head gasket watching this video

I had a 1jz headed since 2002...88 supra tt

I feel like the 7M is more of it’s dad. The 1jz being it’s big brother

At the introduction of the 7M, that black jza70 is actually 1jzgte powered. The sound is clear as day.

The quality control in these engines were pretty freaking horrible. Some of the cooling and oil passages would still have casting and burs in them. Some of these would come out of the factory with deck not flat blowing head gaskets in stock form. Someone did a very good video on how to fix it these issues... Lot of man hours are involved.

7m built was a beast !

Making me wonder about putting the 4.0l Landcruiser engine into something meant for a 2JZ, the engines look identical externally.

My car is the middle brother. The 1jzgte may not be as strong as the 7mgte nor the 2jzgte but it is still fun :)

Nice 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Jason from parts imports in NZ I know you all over this.

I didn't even know there was a power house engine before the 2jz came about

There was a 1000+ hp one featured in Roads Untravelled a couple of years ago.

please make a video about the predecessor to this engine, the 1G-GTE

MK2 Supra, or Celica Supra, with this engine.. My Dream

7MGTE IS LIFE 7MGTE OVER 2JZ ANY DAY. BUT 1JZ THAT'S A ANOTHER STORY. I AL SO LOVE 1JZ

Was hoping this video was about either the 1fz or the 1g🙈, keep up the good work BTW 💪🏾

Head gasket/head sealing issues...this has been a known issue for years

I’m gonna sound like an old dummy, but I like the MKIII the best. That, and the NSX were my dream Japanese cars when I started driving in the mid nineties

Never heard of? I've built a dozen of them and have made over 700 horsepower on a stock computer and modded turbo. Upgrade oil system, head studs, MLS head gasket. Then some performance mods and cams. My latest is going to break my previous dyno as a couple guys have broke 900 on 7m

I put a NO-JZ engine sticker in place of the original 7M-GE one

The 7M's reliabilty to hold power is the reason I ditched my 7m on my MK3 for a 1JZ

My neighbor got a 5M-GE, it's massive

My mk3 has been sitting since 2018. But as of lately, I sits with a engine and Tran.

Facts🇯🇲

I just can smell blown headgasket before i watched this video lol

Are you talking about a one.J….bro we have them here all over the place NZ. They came in sedans wagons as well very common. Where are you from ? Now the vid has finished….the tune being right will keep a sbe one alive and problem free.

Is300 2jz King of Dallas in tha building SLAPAHO up be back out there get this colon cancer whooped I'm coming back stronger than ever folks much love loyalty and respect... 2jz fo life

Can you do a video about the 5mge 👍

This actually happened to my mk3 Supra. Within owning it for less than a year I had a head gasket gone out on me. It was out for a few months. It was running good for a while when we noticed a new problem; oil was getting into the spark plugs. I eventually ended up selling the Supra which I do regret to this day because I actually loved the car, but that engine was just a handful to fix.

Come on. The 7M was a dog that blew head gaskets. I had an 89 Supra with a 7MGE, never pushed it past 6K and ended up with a 1mm gasket that ended up blowing, too. Knock, knock, knock and upgraded to an 05 GTO.

Came here for the 7M image on video. Could swear that’s my engine. Lol. 🤔

This car and the FC RX7 are some of the most overlooked and underappreciated sports cars that can be tuned to the max with little work. You just have to get over the fact that if you buy an FC or a third gen Supra it is mandatory that you redo the entire engine from top to bottom. If you accept that fact and do it the right way with a few hop-ups I promise it will be one of the most rewarding and enjoyable thing's you will ever do in your life! I have an fully ported+header+ALL the goodies 88 GTU and my friend who we lost to reasons I can't mention had a 89mk3. He couldn't keep up in the corners but that thing just kept pulling on the straight roads. Drag race I'd loose all day. Anything with a corner and I might lap him! The mk3 is like an intercontinental ballistic missile with the turbine like thrust. The FC RX7 is like a Yamaha banshee engine in a mini cart chassis. Both are awesome for totally different reasons. But after that friendly rivalry the FD and Mk4 people made it into something I don't even like mentioning my car around the new kid's that bought it all and can't figure out how to exit a convention center parking lot without taking half of the front lip off their car. Hopefully someone will never realize how great the FC and 3rd gen Supra's are and stay away from all the diamond's that are any 13b! The 7m is bulletproof if you fix the factory failure points. Just like the oil injection in the RX7. Once you built it better than new and treat them right they are as close to a pure spot's car as you can get. Unless you think you'd actually like to put the top on a Alfa spider in the rain or a tr5. Now a 4.2 E-Type Jag.... That's a topic for another day.!

What's the outro song

No talks of the 5mge wow...... tbf i thought this video was gonna be on the tb48 or vortec 4200 series

I did know about the 7m

Miss the cressi 👑✌️

Is there any way you can tell me how you got this image? I literally took this 7m picture and you have it as a thumbnail on your video. I put that motor together in my garage for someone.

have heard of it, ive owned one for the last 8 years

I knew about the 7M, mainly because I have a 7M-GTE in my Supra mk3, the real toyota supra engine almost no-one knows about is the 1G-GTE which came with double turbos(used in Supra Mk3)

Thought this was going to be a barra video...

I already new all this

They didn't technically undertorque the bolts. A last moment change from MLS to a composite gasket caused the kerfuffle. The fastest supra on supra forums for a significant period was a 7M car not a 2j.
