turbo mk2s? how many here?

I'm driving an '85 with a turbo 6M.

cool

Yea Wade, I wanted everyone to see my 'racecar'

Im undecided on my turbo route now....I could do it RussM styles or I could do a swap....or I could snag that tt kit...

I'm still working out the bugs in my turbo 6m. It's all bolted up,sans exhaust, and drives around so i guess you could say I got one.Still awaiting parts and time.

He's setting out flamebait.

I'm here, well sometimes anyways

'84 Supra, '90 7M-GTE....
Great combo, but I wanna start over again and really build the crap out of the engine. I kind of rushed it the first time. I get some really good power out of it now, but I wanna go all the way. I've been talkin with the mkIII guys about ideas on how to build the engine for BIG power. If anyone has any suggestions on how to really do this right, I'll take 'em.

anyone ever turbo'd a mk1? is this even possible?
my goal is to be the first if no one has.

If the 4M-E is anything like the 5M-E (in Aus. MkIIs) you're going to blow a head gasket when you turbo the MkI.

If it's a different animal, then good luck to you. I'd join the MkII list if I were you and talk to some of the guys there.

4M-E is SOHC, right? ...or is it a 4M-GE in the MkI?

the US mk1 has a 5M-E. i would like to at least try to put a 5M-GE in it if possible, or a 6M.

actually, it looks like the first ones had 4M-E, mine has a 5M-E. 81' is when it went from 2.6 liter to 2.8.

Hrm. That's a shame, 'cuz the Aus. guys hate the 5M-E... tendency to BHG and anemic power.

Hook up with some of those guys and get their advice since the MkII came with the 5M-E down there.

I'd slap in a 6M-GE and turbo it if I were you.
