ok so all i have to worry about is the oil feed and return lines correct?

I have a 7mgte that doesn't run. I am planing to do a swap. I want to swap the turbo set up + cam shafts to a 7m-ge to convert it. So my question is, what mods do i have to do to make the motor run good? do i have to lower the compression?

i went to 13 psi on an all stock motor with only a K&N intake, MBC, and Turbo Timer. It lasted about a week of pushing it. Than i blew my head gasket (oem not MHG). The turbo can hold up to 15 psi. but you have to do the correct mods to your motor to let it run at 15. I'd only trust the stock...

nice. thanks a lot.

question. i'm thinking about getting a turbo with an internal wastegate. Is there a way to get a MBC hooked up to it? i have one set up on my stock ct 26 but the wastegate is external. i'm thinking that i might have to get an apexi one cause it's internal. also im not planning to go high psi's...

nice pick up. how much did you pick it up for? miles on chassis?

thanks, can one of the mods sticky that link above or copy it so SM users can use this very useful information? i think that might be the problem, i'll look into that. also i tried it again today and noticed that only cylinders 1 and 2 had oil in the wells. there was a small puddle in the...

jdub, i believe they're inside of the cylinders. when i take out the spark plug wires, only the end would have oil on them so i doubt it would be from the valve cover gaskets. otherwise there would be oil on the whole plug correct? i took off that center gasket piece but kept the hex bolts on...

To make things clear, I've done a search but couldn't find anything that gave me the answer i needed. I have oil increasing in the spark plugs through cylinders 1 though 6, 1 being the least and 6 being the most. I just replaced the spark plugs and got my car running. I would let my mk3 sit...

Wiseco, i'm thinking about how much power you get before you go into boost and get the full 230. Ij said 100rwhp. when i really step on it, it doesn't feel like the power doubles from 100 to the 230. More like 2/3's? Or 3/4th's? I do have a turbo car, though i'm very new to turbos and the...

ok ok. so lets say full throttle. maybe right before you hit boost? wow i really need to be specific. haha :nono:

Could you put some input on how you did the wire tuck? I really want to learn how to do it for my 7m

Sorry guys. I should've made it clearer. Spec says that it's 230 hp 245 tq and i'm assuming that's while it's in boost correct? So i was wondering how much horsepower and torque does the stock 7mgte produce when it isn't in boost. Sorry if i sound like a super newb.

i was debating whether this should fit under the tech or just general of the mk3. my simple question is, how much horsepower do you get from a stock 7mgte under boost. just a little curious. couldn't find anything under searching. thanks in advance, toorandom

Really hope i can make it also. I actually just got my car running after 3 months of working on it. I'm still kinda iffy cause my tires are bald. Anyone have deals on tire's in the seattle area? Haha i have some 06? G35 wheels that i want to slap some 50 series tires on.

Too lazy to go through all of the pages. If the noise is more of a ticking noise i'd check if your valves are loose. That causes a tick and you can usually tell if they are if you just wiggle them.

I appreciate the response. my time frame for the swap is around january or feb. I'm saving money right now and maybe tax returns will help. I'm located in west seattle so i want to find someone somewhat local. I would love to take it to both stated above but towing will cost a lot due to my car...

I was refered to this guy on the forums kylefoto. I shot him a pm but no reply. Anyone know if he's still active on the forums?

+1 Great. Thanks a lot everyone. Very useful and clear information. Don't think i could get a better answer. Also if you don't have a ground on your coil pack (torn off) or not grounded will that blow the coil pack(s)? Sorry if these are what some people would call a "stupid question."...

Quick question. Does anyone know where the coil pack ground grounds to? Also can it prevent your car from starting? Pictures would be greatly appreciated.
