7mge performance and fuel consumption enhancers.
Guys i have a 7mge in a double cab hilux 4x4.I love the power it puts out at the moment but im wondering are there any aftermarket options to push out the power a little more? how much work do you have to do to the motor to supercharge the engine? ive got a 76mm free flow exhaust on standard branches at the moment,what could i do to the cams?possibly bore the cylinders bigger?gasflow the head?any help would be most appreciated.i wouldnt mind seeing how a supercharger works on my 7mge?

Re: 7mge performance and fuel consumption enhancers.
Just my 2 cents worth but somthing you might not like to hear. You should have gone for the 7mgte motor and that would have given you more with a stock standard setup. Super charger and all that is just going to flaten your wallet and you might land up cooking that motor sooner or later. A turbo motor is made up to handel boost from the word go, ie oil sprayers on the crank and the compression ratio is set up for boost. I would have stuck a turbo motor in there from the start and the nice thing is one can always play with the boost level from there, want more power ?? no problem, pull out the turbo, shorten the waste gate and in 2 hours you are up and running again.

Re: 7mge performance and fuel consumption enhancers.
Wise words. Turbo on the 7M engine is a complete waste of money and probably a one-way ticket to an early grave. The Hilux stopping power does not match the new 'get up and go' power. A turbo would also encourage you to blow your drive train in no time at all and you would have too much power on hand to try control it for off-road use.Vat eerder die geld wat jy wil spend op die charger of V8 en maak jou Van mooi of sit iets op wat jy kan gebruik

Re: 7mge performance and fuel consumption enhancers.
You're going to burn your fingers and probably end up blowing your cylinder head...
Lots of posts about blown heads on 7MG motors, don't encourage it further.
Do a search for them.
