Kristopher, I have been advised by JCFsupraman that you know the 7mgte engine very well. May I have email address so we communicate privately? In Short I am looking to do a complete rebuild as I have ring issues and want to push higher RPMs. Thank’s for your help, Jeremy PS I...

tlo86, Once I received the car back from the 1st Mechanic (jack @ss), that is how it came to me. The new turner, sorted out everything, but I don't have a picture. So in short, I did have a filter and everything was done 100%right. I should be getting my car back soon, maybe today. Will snap...

As I could not figure out how to convert my welcome thread to a build thread I have reposted the above posts. Since my last post, I have seized my car from the mechanic that was doing the engine swap as it had taken him 6 months, and not much was done. I had the car towed to my house. Upon...

Alright, here are some pics, but they are from when I 1st bought the car. I have not done too much in the last month that is visible, so will just post the pictures of my rough MKIII. Take a close look at the engine, it will really boogle the mind. Don't worry, I will be scrapping that whole...

As for seeing many MKIIIs on the road, never have. Probably less than 20 in the country as they never came here. People had to import them from Japan or the UK. There are a few MKIVs in the country, but have seen about 3 in person. I ran into this supra by chance and got it for a good price. The...

Just joined the forum and thought that it would be prudent to introduce myself. I am a little new to Supras, but will need to pick up the slack as I just bought a 1988 MKIII N/A with a T26. Whoever did this mod, did a poor job and I will be rebuilding the car with a 7MGTE Engine, but still using...

Wow Man, that is really looking good. I have just viewed your build thus far and I am impressed. I swopped my 7m n/a for a 7mgte, which I actually paid someone to do for me and that was not an easy job for him. We put in an after market ECU.... Keep pushing you are almost there. Looking...

I would say you need to get rid of the Lexus AFM and ECU. I did this and went with a Dicktator aftermarket ECU and all as been good thus far unitl my ct26 turbo blew (bad rebuild). Dictators are not too expensive, but not sure your will find support outside South Africa. I would also go for a...

Yes, the last owner of the NA supra put a turbo on it about 10 years ago and did a very poor job. There is not IC, nor is the ECU from a turbo engine and the AFM is also not from a turbo engine. As I stated in my previous post, this engine will be scrapped. My goal is to build a car that is...

Thanks guys....it is nice to receive so many welcomes. Sorry, I did have a typing error. I actually have a MKIII not a MKII. Yea, go springboks. As for seeing many MKIIIs on the road, never have. Probably less than ten in the country as they never came here. People had to import them...
