i got a friend that would like to know the cheapest and safest way to go boost in the 82 supra.

 

7mgte swap

probably not the cheapest but the safest.

Cheapest would be 7m turbo stuff on the 6m in the car. But not the safest imo.

 

7m-gte swap. turboing the 5m has positives and drawbacks.cheap to do but might blow up.7m-gte is safe and reliable and well documented on the mk2.
celicasupra.com has a section just for the 7m swap.

P.S. 5M-GE was stock on the MK2, 6m never came to usa unless a jdm import.

 

7mgte swap is the way to go. simple as can be. i know, i did it back in 2001. turboing a 5m/6m is just a headache, even if you already got a standalone. ive had everything for more 7mgte swaps prolly 4-5 times now. always sell them as 1 turbo car is enough. however i will recomend a rebuild of the 7mgte you get before putting it in and a mhg with arp head studs mandatory in the process. btw, if he needs any parts lmk. i got tons of parts for sale. even aftermarket rims.

 

no doubt. wut about the wiring and stuff like that? wut would he have to do??

 

make a sub harnes to wire it into the mk2. tons of data on celicasupra.com, and also some guys that will make it for you if your willing to pay for it.
