I was shopping at a local auto store today looking for a motor that I might put in my car. When I asked him how much a 7MGE would run me, he tried to talk me into 2JZGTE and said it would bolt to the same mounts as a 5M and a 7M. My question is this, do they really bolt to the same mounts, or is this guy just looking for the big bucks?

Yes, I am a Supra Newbie

I have recently put a 2JZ-GTE in a Mk2 Supra. Trust me when I tell you the engine mounts are vastly different. The guy you spoke to is obviously full of crap.

That is what I thought, just wanted to verify. Now to start looking for a 6M to drop in this car.

Norbie...is your 2jz done?! update your page with the ending if it is...I really really wanna see this end product :P I wish I had talent like you to do this to mine =] Does anyone know where to get rims to fit the 4-lug rwd pattern of the mkii supra?!

No it's not finished yet. I've been a bit slack updating my web site lately, but there's not that much to say anyway... I installed the flywheel, clutch and transmission last weekend but I didn't bother taking any pics because I'm sure everyone has seen a transmission before. Anyway, when something more interesting happens I'll post an update.

Not Norbie's, but it's a JZA60:

2mb for the picture, 4.4 for the MPG. It's a 2JZ MkII, and it runs quite well. This was at a local AutoX event.

OMG! You saw this live in person? And you didn't kill him and steal the car?! lol...thats nice! Norbie, take pics of everything! I wanna see this...I'd love to do this to mine...but I'm not that good with cars and I'm poor :P I'm happy with my 5m for now anyway...

The owner of the car is a really cool person actually. I think the car is awesome but I wouldn't steal it from him. Besides, the pride of actually doing the conversion is his, owning it would not mean anything to me.

I'm still waiting to see once he starts to mod a little, the car is a beast as it is, but is only stock as it stands.

Made my decision, and my wife agreed. Now I just need to get the money to do the conversion. Thanks for the info.

And Norbie, you site actually gave me an idea on how the job might be. Thanks.

I wish I had some people around here that did that to cars...theres not even much car shows =[ You got anymore pics on that car? I'll hate to see what it's like when he works that engine a bit! It'll be more than the beast...more of a real machine =] it is imposible to find rims for a mkii supra

How about posting a time with that JZ engine. Somebody on the net did 12's with ease if I remember with a 7MGTE and sport turbo upgrade. Light makes right, thats for sure.

AOL Sucks

I hope someone can answer me ! One of my supra is a ltd... so I have numeric dashboard and leather seat. I just want to know: if I put a newer engine (ie. 1JZGTE motor) will I be able to keep these parts !? And does my trans. (5 speed manual) fit with the new engine ?


By the way, forgive my english, I know its bad but cuz I'm french.

Beware of the Angry things !!!

My car are 85 supra Mk2 The 1st one is limited and the 2nd is standart.

Beware of the Angry things !!!

You might as well just get the transmission too, the bellhouseing won't line up correctly... I don't know much about the jz's but want to learn and want to drop one into mine. www.norbie.net thats norbie's website...hes doing/did a 2jz conversion into his. It might help you out.

Ok thanks for the info... I've chose my engine. It wll be a 7MGTE it has enought power and it looks to fit better than the others.

The only thing I hope is, will my digital dashboard fit, I really want to keep it.
So if someone knows the answer please tell me !!

And Norbie, your car kick ass!! You have the best of both world: the power and the better look that supra has ever made !!
