Can I use a non turbo head on a turbo?

I have 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo 7m engine. would like to know if a non turbo head is interchangable?

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    No. The non-turbo head has a higher compression aspect. If you were to install the NT head on a turbo car, you would have detonation problems really bad. Additionally, the valve length will impact the piston tops.

Yes the heads are interchangable. Best way to find out if stuff is interchangable is to go to Toyota dealer and compare part #'s

Timing Dpecs for Toyota Supra 87 6 cylinder

1987 non-turbo: 10 deg Before Top Dead Center (BTDC) @700 rpm
1987 Turbo: 10 deg BTDC @650 rpm.

To set the timing, you will need to connect a jumper wire between terminals E1 and TE1 on the diagnostic terminal. This diagnostic terminal is located just aft of the engine compartment fuse box. It is a black plastic box marked "diagnostic" on the cover, which flips open to reveal the terminals inside. There is a diagram on the inside of the cover which explains the terminal positions. On the Turbo model, you need to remove the forward section of the engine cover to gain access to the number one spark plug wire.

Engine compatible

Yes. However it is a very expensive swap $5000 to $8000 to do it right. You will need the 1J or 2J engine, transmission, wiring harness, ecu, and alot of other pieces to do the swap. The engine brackets will need to be modified and you will have to upgrade your brakes. This kind of swap requires a good knowledge of the Toyota Supra and the engines. I do not recommend this swap for a beginner. A cheaper way is to take a 7M-GTE and upgrade the internals and turbo.
