7mge performance and fuel consumption enhancers.

[pampoen]

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?

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.

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.

Take a deep breath, relax a little! ;)

Yip.. thats about it... play with the 7M for awhile, get to know it, it is a really nice usable motor. Had mine for 3 years now and still loving it...

[pampoen]

Its a really nice motor i have to agree man just a question,what flywheel are you using?

[ThysdJ]

a round one...

Dunno, I didnt build it.. but Hoppy will be able to tell you, he saw it a few times already..

:) does anyone have any experience with raising the compression?

Jy gaan huil

what flywheel are you using?

Jy gaan Toyota toe en gaan koop n 7M fly wheel, 3.0L Cressida.

Los dit nou of het baie geld en tyd

Looks like im gonna have to attemt this myself.:)

[Family_Dog]

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.

Hoppy knows just use a steel head gasket and tighten with hi tensile head bolts.
