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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

Ok guys, whats the deal on the oil pump? we are building up a spare engine for our lemons car, using a cresida core, leaving it pretty much stock except for ARP connecting rod bolts and head studs. Gotta change the oil pan, we have that covered, but need to find an oil pump. does the...

So i know decking increases compression of the engine. I run an 88 7-MGE with maual trans in the 24 hours of Lemon series. I am wondering what decking would do for power - but much more importantly, does it reduce relaibility and longevity of the engine, and particularly does it make a BHG...

OK guys Rookie here. I am taking off the head off an old motor, tio keep as a spare for our 24 hours of Lemons car. But i am stumped as to what tool to use to pull of the headbolts. it looks like it is a stud wirth a standard allen head, with a 12 point nut that needs to come off down below...

I need to put a quick release wheel on the lemons car. i can find wilwood and several others that have a weld on hub, but i would much rather have some sort of bolt on hub, in case I needed to pull it for some reason. I find one for GM - 36 spline, or ford 40 spline - but i do not know...

Ok guys, Just a shade tree mechanic here. I am replacing bushings with poly bushings on an 88 NA. It appears as if the bolt is so rusted into the sleeve, that they are one piece of metal. So? what do i do now? I do have a torch - do you cut off the nut and the head, then let it drop down...

I know alot of you probably use all sorts of other oils - and I am sure they are far better, but for me, i will go with what toyota recomends - anyone help me out? synthetic? non? hibrid? weight? additive? I'm betting they have their own brand like GM - but i just need to know what I...

Ok guys, took an 88 down to bones and built it back up as a lemons racer, but now i have an electrical issue. the tailights and brake lights do not work - traced to the flasher switch being unplugged. We need em because it is a 24 hour endurance race, on an unlit track! Unfortunately I...
