I'd be interested in it if you want to shoot me a PM.

Stop guessing and find out before making assumptions. Bad car buying behavior bud. Run the tests and report back. If he isn't willing to let you run test, walk away.

Thought of same thing when I read that. LOL! When you are on the forum more than working. (At your job.)

For what you are wanting to do I feel an HX35 with 2JGE-T would be the ideal set up for you. Has a broad range of power and if you want to stretch your legs some more you have ability to with that turbo as the 2j (even 1j) wouldn't really sweat an extra 100-150 whp at that level. Providing it's...

I'm not sure if that was aimed at me or the OP. I am aware of that. The person in reference had everything hooked up like stock, and needed a vented cap. I think something else was wrong and that's a band-aid for his underlying problem.

IIRC, I saw a guy on here that had same thing going on and changed his fuel cap and solved his problem. I found it odd but I have heard of it before working on other makes. Honestly I haven't worked with Supras long enough to know their emissions style. When I think of excess psi in fuel tank I...

You would use the TPS/Map blend feature. (Pretty simple setup actually) And with their setup wizard (allows for race cams/ ITB's) start up is stupid easy. (I have worked with Electromotive stuff for a bit now and love it! A Tec GT will make it's way onto my MKIII.) Awesome build OP.

*Looks around* Let's stick this right here: •YEAR: 1987 •ASPIRATION: N/A (Changing) •ROOFLINE: Hardtop •TRANSMISSION: W58-5 Spd (Changing) •EXTERIOR COLOR: Silver (Changing) •INTERIOR COLOR: Black/Grey (Partially Gutting for Cage) •LOCATION...

The first generation SSR's came with the all aluminum 5.3L if I remember correctly. Not too sure what vehicle has the 5.3L Alum engine besides that. Personally I prefer an cast iron block over all aluminum. I know I am going to be beating the ever living piss out of the engine.

You do not have to go with a full LS1/2/3/6 engine. The truck engines such as LQ4/LQ9/LM7 are readily available and are way cheaper than the LS1's and so forth. Same style engine, heads, mounts, intake manifold, etc that all swap over. The LM7 comes in a 4.8/5.3L so make sure you get the bigger...

This. I think what we are all getting at is basic maintenance items. I would deff do a fuel filter and check all the bushing, ball joints, etc... If it is in question replace it (within reason of course.)

Would rather see LSx based stuff in it but cool swap none the less. If you want to stay carb but get rid of the dizzy I would look into the Electromotive XDI-II unit. Full standalone Distributorless ignition with the sky as your limit. Or if you want full standalone EFI they can do that as well.

Hey everybody. Just picked up an 1987 Supra-Hardtop, Stock 7M-GE with the head torn off at the moment attached to a W58 (Go figure. LOL!) Pics to come when I get home. Plans are either redo the 7M a bit or drop a 2JZ-GE in pending on a deal I have out right now. Planning NA-T of course with...

Don't forget your voltage drop tests and check the wiring. May have a green monster going on (Corrosion.)
