6mge engines (direct replacement)

[rabidchimp.com]

ok i might get flamed on this one but im daring so here it goes: when you say its direct replacement, does tah mean i can take my old one out then put this one in with out wiring and those kind of issues. i saw that you need to use your oilpan and pick up, but does everything else come with it. im kinda new to all this, but i would like to swap mine but dont want to go 7m yet

Sorry for the slow response time. Yes, swapping this engine in is like removing and replacing your 5mge engine.

p.s. I've added a timing belt tensioner to the list of new parts for each 6mge.

alot more labor toyota wants $1100 for that

what do they charge? 300 bucks an hour?

What other parts would you be able to include/replace prior to shipment? The car I'm swapping one into is QUITE tired and poorly maintained- also, do the stock 5m oil filters work on the 6m? And what oil grade do you reccomend- I know these things change sometimes- Thanks, Mark W.

I would be able to do anything prior to shipping, head rebuild, custom cams, metal head gasket w/ ARP studs, etc. What are you SERIOUS about getting done? The 5m oil filter is the same as the 6m filter. Just run 10w30 in the engine. I run Castrol in my vehicles.

i dont know if yo remember me prolly not. but i ordered your 6m motor and i was unaware that you could have done all that rebuild stuff. kinda suck but its ok.

the motor you sent me is going in in 2 weeks but i has been sitting in my garage for a few months doing nothing...will it be safe? will all the seals and everytihng inside still be ok though it has been motionless? please respond to my email driftartist@hotmail.com i am concerned cause now i dont know how to rebuild the engine myself. i just wanna be comforted knowing that the motor will be fine as you shipped it to me.

I'll cc this response to your e-mail. The engine should be fine. Just remember...when you are getting ready to start the engine, pull the efu fuse, and turn the engine over with the starter, and build up oil pressure. Install EFI fuse, start it up, and go have some fun.

i heard from other members that i need to swap the 5mge oil pan and pick up and pump and put them on the 6mge. is this true? if so how do i do it. i am sure i can figure it out but is this necessary? they said it doesnt bolt up right. someone help?

[CJSREDPRA]

Yes, this is necessary.

Standard oil pan on a 6MGE which is a center drop pan, is designed for the cars that they came in (ie: Soarer, Crown sedans, etc). Pan will not clear the crossmember on the MA Supra, which requires a front drop pan. Thus the reason why you need to reuse the 5MGE pan.

6M oil pickup is also designed for the center drop pan.... See where this is going??

Uhmmmm.... Who said "what" does not bolt up properly????
