    Head bolt torques? legends/ facts/ history?

    Thanks guys, I really appereciate that. Now if I could, one more question: because I am an idiot and posted my original question in the wrong forum. so I should have put it in the 7MG-E section, the motors are non turbo. would that make a difference? or does the information stand for both...

    Head bolt torques? legends/ facts/ history?

    So i run a stock 7MG-E in 3 different supras in the 24 hours of lemons series. stock because it has to hold up to 16 - 24 hours of racing at a time. So far we have had great luck, actually getting 225 racing hours on one engine, before it gave up. So in order to try and replicate that...

    Spacer between 7MGE & W-58?

    Not sure what part of my question the yes was too, but mystery solved. Part in question is 32116, which is indeed for Automatic trans only, so i can ignore it, and better yet not worry if i made a mistake! thanks guys!

    Spacer between 7MGE & W-58?

    So i took a 7MGE donated graciously by a Cressida, and freshened it up, now swapping it into my 87 supra NA manual trans. I'm putting it all back together, getting ready to drop the trans and engine back into the supra. But in swapping over the parts, I see a thin "spacer" sitting on the back...

    Canister in friont of starter, what does it do? is it needed?

    as wide as possible! I have determined itv is some sort of vacuum reserve, but i don't think it is connected to the brake booster, so thats not an issue. apparently it is part of the ACIS system, and I do not know what that is, or what it does!

    Canister in friont of starter, what does it do? is it needed?

    OK guys, in the middle of an engine change for our 24 hours of lemons supra. so the only stuff we need is a strong running engine. Emmisions are not an issue, cold start is not an issue, simplicity is valuable! There is a "canister" that sits in front of the starter, attached to the lower...

    cold Air intake vrs stock on NA?

    Do you have any evidence at all that this may be true? other than someone just making it up to justify their purchase? Numbers? speeds? HP? Dynosheets? Where did that number come from?

    cold Air intake vrs stock on NA?

    well we run times like 2:21 and 1:56, stuff like that, we run on 2 - 2.5 mile road courses, like infineon, buttonwillow, Thunderhill, high plains etc. i was just using drag times to see if anyone had any actual numbers. it's like I thought, no reason to change it, just put it back together...

    cold Air intake vrs stock on NA?

    I'm sure this has been discussed several times, but here goes. Does any one have real numbers, or real experiences with differences in performance between the OE intake set up, and a cold air setup like K&N? I'm looking for stuff like "I ran 12.8's consistantly, till I switched, now I run...

    Brake Bias adjuster for road racer?

    OK Guys, 86.5 NA. gutted and turned into a 24 hours of Lemons car. Spectacular car BTW, started with a car with 175 K miles on it, did nothing to it other than ARP rod bolts, ran 15 races, about 14 - 16 hours each race. 225 hours of racing, without a single lap missed for any engine or...

    Limiting RPM in MG-E? Keep idiots from screwing me!

    well it may not be an issue. It may be just fine reving to 6500 or 6700, we don't know. But I can tell you that we run with several other supras, all of whom have BHG, and more severe engine damage, and all of em are constantly bouncing the motor off the factory limiter. there are some teams...

    Rear Gear Top Speed

    easy to do the calculations on line about potential top speed. you can determine the ratio by just jacking it up and spinning the tire and counting the rotations. You also need tire size for the calculators. But the issue is really how much power it takes. drag goes up as the square to the...

    Limiting RPM in MG-E? Keep idiots from screwing me!

    First of all, for whatever reason, that car pulls strong through 6200. but what often happens at the end of a straight is that the guy is reving it out, if he shifts, he loses time, both on the shift, then an extra downshift, and an unsettled car in the corner. but If he doesn't shift, he will...

    Limiting RPM in MG-E? Keep idiots from screwing me!

    Ok guys, 87 NA 5 speed manual . We have gutted the thing caged it and use it to run the 24 hours of lemons series. so far 14 races, not a single lap lost to mechanical, and same engine never touched for 12 races, which = just about 200 hours of racing. So now , I am about to put a new...

    turbo or non turbo oil pump in 7MGE? to much of a good thing?

    Time for an intellectual debate here. So many of you know we run a couple of Mark III supras in the 24 hours of lemons endurance race series. NA 7mge's, ( turbos break, ask out competitors), anyway, Think about 16 hours of racing on a road course, 15 - 20 shifts per lap, 400 - 600...

    88 NA oil pump options?

    Thanks for the clarification, my concern was on the other end - and i was not clear about it. I am taking a crssida engine and putting it into a supra. Does the cressida pan fit into the supra engine bay without modification?

    88 NA oil pump options?

    I'm told the cressida pan does not fit in the Supra, is that incorrect? I do have the supra oil pan, and the OEM lasted 250K miles, the last 10000 miles s in endurance races lasting 14 - 20 hours, so it s worked pretty well!

    ARP connecting rod bolts - same for NA or Turbo?

    I am putting ARP connecting rod bolts in mt 88 7MGE. I check summit racing, they only list for a MGTE, I call ARP - and they do not have that engine listed. Anyone know for sure if the turbo application will fit the 7MGE - for sure, not guessing? thanks Carl Johansson
