    Is the 7m-gte a non-interference engine?

    So I figure I may as well use this thread again. Since I will be doing my timing belt soon is there a kit/set with everything I need in it that anyone can recommend? I'm running stock power, but am hoping to amp up the power over time (though not by much).

    Is the 7m-gte a non-interference engine?

    Believe me that's not my plan. Just wanted to be a little more well-informed. Thanks for such a quick reply. :-)

    Is the 7m-gte a non-interference engine?

    My timing belt is looking like it's "time" fairly soon. Just to check we're talking apples and apples, this is if the timing belt breaks, the pistons and valves will NOT occupy the same space? Right? I'm going to be shopping around for kits to do the whole lot, wondering how much time...

    Knock Sensor code after all this time....

    I'm trying to fix it. Was wondering if there are any tips anyone had before I proceeded. Thought I should explain my situation in case any of the factors could affect anything (true it wouldnt make sense but Supras don't always make sense). Also, I'm not lazy at all. With respect you don't...

    Knock Sensor code after all this time....

    I've had my car 3 years (turbo, 89 bought it ruined) and my final code left is knock sensor. Had it since the start. One KS was missing. Just installed a replacement (got from someone on here btw) and the code comes back after maybe 60 seconds of running. The car sounds good and is...

    Can I make a swap to a 7mge to make it 7mgte

    Should be possible. Make sure the trannies are the same or you could come into problems. The turbo will probably have the R154 tranny (most robust) and the NA will (probably) have the W58. If theyre both auto then that shouldnt be a problem? (I know nothing about the auto tranny, got rid...

    Replacement sport roof.

    But aren't the rubber seals part of the roof anyway? The leak (when it comes through) comes through the rubber under the roof itself.....

    Replacement sport roof.

    Got an 89 turbo. My roof leaks on the passenger side when it's raining. Cant see the damage in the seals, and my roof is a little damaged anyway. So time for a new roof. Toyota gave me a quote of around $400 (IIRC). Are there carbon fiber ones for sale anywhere? Would make moving it...

    R154 trouble with shifting. Any ideas?

    Got it. The clutch pedal is still lighter than usual. I'll check ASAP. EDIT: In case it is the slave, can anyone point out which of these cylinders it is (for the R154) in the following link...

    R154 trouble with shifting. Any ideas?

    Getting home was fine. This morning was not great though. Getting into reverse gave me a little grinding. Getting into first and second was still more difficult than it should be. Slave cylinder problems? Master still has plenty of fluid (though I think a TINY amount has gone since...

    R154 trouble with shifting. Any ideas?

    it gets as low as 30f (occasionally as cold as the twenties) in the early mornings (when I set off). Anyway, got some brake fluid, gave it a drive for about a half hour, smooth as butter. Nothing leaked out (yet) indicating it's been a gradual thing. In fact thinking back it has got...

    R154 trouble with shifting. Any ideas?

    Sounds about right. At least I'll (probably) be able to get home!

    R154 trouble with shifting. Any ideas?

    Recently had 89 turbo swapped AT to R154. Everything has been fine for probably 3 months. This morning shifting into first and second has been very tough (from a stop and I think when moving too). Clutch feels lighter than it used to. Reverse grinds when shifting into it. From...

    Looking for Cigarette lighter fuse.

    I've done a search but can't find a definitive answer to where this fuse is and its label/number. Apologies if I've been looking in the wrong place. Could anyone link me to the page in TSRM or just let me know where I should be looking and what for? I'm guessing it's fuse is toast so want...
