Crank no start 7MGTE. Recently swapped this motor in place of a NA, so, "new" to the car engine, harness, ECU. 89 Engine in a 89 chassis, so everything plugged in the way it was supposed to. Key on I have power to the injectors, but cranking, no pulse. Also while cranking, no spark. Swapped...

So, my son took my MK3 to the track last night to see what he could pull for time slips. Forged internals, 550s, T67, Lexus MAF, stock ECU, running about 10-11psi. Needs new plugs...breaking down a bit at the top of each gear. Tech made him wear a fire jacket because my turbo is not...

Seriously? http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/pts/3238418073.html 2JZ Supra motor (dyno'd for 700hp on race fuel) - $6500 (101 and Indian school) Date: 2012-08-29, 6:40PM MST As much as I dont want to im posting up my 2jz Supra motor. Pulled about 2 months ago from a project car (also for...

Anyone have one? I'm seriously thinking of spending the money on one, but would like some feedback before I do/don't. Not a fan of the open slashes on the right/left of it, but it does look like it has a higher than stock center cowl "scoop" that I think would look pretty badass. Your...

Why do people adjust boost depending on their driving conditions? I see folks say they run 7psi around town and 20psi (or whatever) at the track. Why not just set it and forget it? If you have your car tuned for 20psi and don't boost it around town, then it's no different than if you had it...

I heard they (or someone) was working on a AEM V2 for the 7M, but haven't seen anything in quite a while. I sold my V1 a while back because I needed the money, but would be highly interested in a V2 if someone is going to offer it.

There is a coolant hard line that runs across the back of the motor and a hose attaches to the driver side of it just below the EGR. Any way to get at this hose and replace it without damn near pulling the motor? I can't even see the damn thing, but know it's leaking. The leak is VERY minor...

No, not that kind of ink...his '73 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus (Roadrunner clone) is in this month's Mopar Muscle! To make this an official MKIII post, here's a pic of his '89 MKIII...LOL! And the article on his '73 --

Seriously. I am so done with this f'n car. Every day it's something new. Today, I back into my driveway and I see a trail of coolant drips leading up the driveway in front of me. Coolant is drooling out of what looks like the bottom of my water pump where it mates to the block. Just out of...

So, I bumped my boost from stock to 9 psi today. I'm running a T67, 50mm WG, 550cc inj, and a Lexus MAF on a stock ECU...and a Walbro 255 and some off brand AFPR. The bottom end was built with forged parts. At full boost my AFR stuck steady around 10 (measured with a AEM wideband), so I'm...

Is it possible to over use a single manifold vacuum/pressure port? I am currently running my boost gauge, BOV, and AFPR off the vacuum port on the back of the intake. I still need to hook up my MAP sensor...is it cool to splice in another T and run it on the same series? I've tested (with a...

Ok, so I tried swapping in a '89 M/T turbo gauge cluster into my '90 A/T NA chassis. I couldn't get ANY of the gauges to work. I had an extra '89 gauge cluster and tried it with the same results. I put the '90 A/T NA cluster back in and everything works except the tach and speedo (suspect the...

Hi all -- I have been told a intake air temp sensor and a MAP sensor are required before installing a AEM V2 in my car. I didn't receive a recommendation on the temp sensor, but was recommended the GM 3 Bar MAP sensor -- is this cool for AEM V2 on a 7M? Your recommendations for both, please...

I know this may be a very subjective question depending on HG thickness, decking, etc, but what "should" "good" compression look like on a 7MGTE? My engine came from a wrecked car that I can only assume was good based on the previous owner's description. It was supposedly rebuilt with forged...

Hi all -- I did some searching and have come up empty, so please forgive me if this is buried somewhere on the site. I just installed a '89 7MGTE/R154 into a '90 MKIII that originally had an auto and 7MGE. Previous owner did away with the auto and a 7MGE/W58 was in place and ran great until I...

So, the fun begins. My starting point -- '90 MkIII 7M-GE, 5-spd, blah, blah, blah. Plans? 7M-GTE with forged internals, 550cc injectors, EMS, T67/50mm WG, etc, etc, etc... As with most people, I am on a budget, but I also want to do things right. So, it begins... The future motor...

Hi all -- I recently came into owning a 7M-GTE with supposed forged internals, 1.3mm head gasket, 550cc injectors, and for sure a T67 w/ a 50mm waste gate on a stainless tube manifold/header. Before I drop it into my NA, I am wanting to do things right. Previous owner felt this was a 400hp...

Noob here to the Supra world, but NOT new to the car world. I am a diehard Mopar fan...have been for 30 years. I spent 8 years in Okinawa a while back and got hooked on boosted cars. Recently I sold a Hemi Ram and had the cash to start looking for a clean 240sx or Supra. My cash wound up...
