    7mgte rebuild - Need Advice on Gaskets/Hoses

    I bought the Ebay silicone hose set a couple years ago and they've been working fine for the last 12k+ miles. There were a couple random fit issues with some of the small hoses, but I was able to get everything to work.

    Toyota

    If Toyota doesn't have one, they're $2/ bolt on Mcmaster for a 20mm long one. Just cut it to size if needed: http://www.mcmaster.com/#91180a774/=qld4s3

    Idle Air Control Valve (ISV) Compatibility? Are the IAC/ISV motors the same?

    Also, make sure your TPS is working correctly. I recently had a similar issue and a new TPS tuned properly solved it. The old TPS wouldn't return completely when the throttle was closed and therefore wasn't giving an IDL signal to the ECU. This problem didn't throw any codes for me either, so...

    Valve Shims

    You can also go to any power sports place that carries Yamaha stuff. The local shop near me will exchange them out for free, as in you trade yours for the one you need.

    7MGTE, Truck Motor Torque Build (7MGTE + GT3071R discussion)

    I'm actually running a setup identical to what kaiser is describing and I haven't had any issues with overheating while offroading. I am, however, mainly slow speed rock crawling, so I'm not really ever making a lot of boost. I've been snow wheeling a couple times this winter though and didn't...

    New to engine work - stupid question?

    Turbo pistons are dished to add more volume to the combustion chamber size at TDC. Bore/stroke are the same, so they displace them same, but the volume of air at TDC for the turbo version is larger than the N/A version. This makes the compression ratio lower and, in this case, the cranking...

    Electrical guru needed!

    Not sure how different they are, but I have a tach out of an '87 I would sell you. I know it works.

    Electrical guru needed!

    In the check connector, its the IG- terminal. For a more direct route, the black IG- wire coming off of the igniter is where the signal comes from. It goes directly from here to both the check connector and the tachometer, no where else. If you have corroded wires or connectors, I could see...

    Electrical guru needed!

    You could run a test wire from the diagnostic plug straight to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster. That might at least eliminate a bad connection somewhere. I'm modifying my stock tach in a toyota pickup (swapped 7mgte to replace the old 4cyl) with a potentiometer across the M+ and M-...

    Give Marlin Crawler a call, those guys rebuild R-series transmissions all the time and that is also where the kit comes from that Driftmotion sells. http://www.marlincrawler.com/contact

    ARP Main Stud Washers- Absolutely Necessary???

    He was asking about the main studs, not head studs, but the same info applies. Your torque won't be correct either because of the friction difference.

    solid pinion spacer (crush sleeve)

    The toyota trucks used to come with solid spacers back in the late 70's/ early 80's, then they went to the crush sleeves. I actually had a crush sleeve fail in a truck diff with 5.29 gears and big tires. It eventually pulled the pinion further into the diff and just trashed everything in there...

    7M build advise please

    I've got a brand new standard set of Probes that I'll sell you for 400 shipped. One of my cylinders ended up being slightly too much out of round and I decided to go to .020" over instead. PM me if you're interested.

    7M build advise please

    Probe's website shows dished pistons and the ones I ordered were dished. The picture on Driftmotion's website must just be a general picture. I'm wondering how much longer Aaron will be carrying Probes, sounds like they have had a lot of problems with getting product in on time recently. I'd...
