Sorry BUDDERS for Hi-jacking your thread
About the 7M-GE, I can not ignore the fact that it makes 35 more HP and 8 ft-lbs more Torque than the 3RZ.
I have seen 4RnrRicks Incredibly in depth and well written write-up on his 7M-GE conversion so I really want to believe that his engine was running correctly.
I will stop talking about the two, well, simply because I have no experience with the 7M!! Whatever the reasons are, 4RnrRick has decided to ditch the 7M-GE and go with the 3RZ-FE. I know that he does like the power, but the 7M is more of a rev engine and is not really an ideal Rock-Crawling Engine, like the 3RZ is. I have not compared dyno sheets, but according to Rick, his 7M did not have the bottom end power that his 22R-E had, and I can vouch that the 3RZ has a stronger bottom end power curve than the 22R-E, which I do have experience with daily driving and wheeling.
In my opinion that's what it comes down to, the fine blend of drivability and Rock Crawling
I have seen some REALLY!! bad-ass 7M-GTEs! I love inline Turbo 6cylinders. Just talk to
reklund5 about that, he owns a highly-modified Toy Supra. I just hope that the next Generation Supra (most likely Scion-badged) will have an inline 6 rather than a V8!
