Forum: 7M-GE Engine Technical Discussion

Turned the key car tried to start, at that exact same time i heard a muted boom not to loud but any boom from the engine bay is not a good sign. No smell, no smoke but i did feel a vibration. My gut feeling tells me its the starter. Now the car will crank but wont fire. Things that i did checked...

i read that there are 2 types of ge and 3 types of gte i was wondering if a gte fan clutch would work on a ge. and if it would be better than the ge since im looking to replace my fan clutch, and if it is possible has anyone put the gte fan clutch with the 10 blade turbo fan in a ge?

Before you guys go off on me, i would like you guys to know that i have already bypassed the heater control valve in the engine compartment, coolant is full but i notice at times even at 84 degrees on the climate control, the heater would just randomly blow cold air like its at 65. I would come to...

I want to replace my catalytic converter with a test pipe in order to save the cat. I don't like spending $200 whenever I have to smog the car so I would like to just keep it good until smogtime rolls around. Problem is that I have an O2 sensor after the cat so I don't know if the test pipe is...

So after doing some research it seems that I dont need to change the wiring harness. All I need to do is hook the neutral safety switch up to the clutch switch, and hook up the reverse switch to the reverse lights. Is this correct? Or will the computer go into open loop mode?

Iv just bought a 2nd hand motor 4 my 86.5 supra. I pulled it down but I am unsure what crank Iv got. Iv heard that the 7m crank is fully counterweighted and has 12 counterweights which this one does.(doesn't have 6m cast on to the crank). Is this a 7m crank? Im just hoping for someone to confirm...

Alright...I'm sure there is a thread that answers this somewhere...but I've searched and searched and read through the 7MGE forums to no avail. After wrecking my DD today, got in my 87 N/A to drive it today and the starter will not turn. Car wakes up fine, radio and such comes on, but when I try...
