    7MGTE Rebuild

    Hi Guys, I'm located in Seacoast NH (but happy to drive elsewhere in New England if need be) and I'm looking for a reputable engine shop to rebuild my 7MGTE. Does anybody know of a machine shop that has done a 7M with a success story? Thanks!

    Smoke AFTER decel, good compression, new turbo, 2000mi since rebuild

    I have about 2000 miles on my stock rebuilt 7M. My motor had 95K on it and ran excellent. I'm almost sad I touched it, but I wanted to do a MHG and that involved surfacing my block, so while it was out I did new NPR pistons, rings, and all new bearings (rod and crank). I still had a nice cross...

    Won't idle well when warm, but with weird symptoms

    I'm stumped. My car idled great after rebuild (at about 1000mi now). After rebuild, I set my base timing and the idle was just as it should be. After some time, the idle seemed to hang low after the car warmed up. When I stop after driving, the idle drops to 400-450RPM and then it slowly...

    Who has $12k, a trailer, and some time?

    http://providence.craigslist.org/cto/1682755764.html I only wish I was settled in a position where I could reason buying this. Whoever buys it better leave it as-is as.

    Calling HKS Guru(s) - HKS FCON Harness - and VPC Help!!!

    Hey guys, I sourced a HKS FCON harness last winter and got one for the 87-88, and was told it was "the last one in HKS's computer system". Idk how true it is, but in any case, it sat in a box since February. I just pulled it out to get ready to install my FCON and VPC and realize - it's not a...

    What is this block bushing!?

    This bushing came in a box of fasteners from the machine shop. Does it go in the block near the AC bracket? What does it do?! I can't find anything on it. Thanks guys.

    Cleaning cylinder walls before assembly

    I got my motor back from the machine shop uncleaned (by my foolish request). I had a friend with a steam pressure washer and due to a miscommunication thought it would save me hundreds of dollars. Well, it didn't. I washed the motor out (very thoroughly) and as SOON as the water dried...

    Crank plugs

    There is an old thread with IJ stating that crank plugs (that thread in next to rod bearings on the crank) are available from the dealer. I've called two dealers and neither has any clue what they are nor do they see them on parts lists. I need a set of these and need them ASAP. Anyone know...

    What bearing is this!?!?

    I sent my motor to the machine shop for surfacing/cleaning/etc and they took out some lower end parts that I didn't take out yet. I got back a box of bearings and hardware, as well as this bearing that I cant identify and I need to know where it came from so I can replace it (they must have...

    Autozone Reman. Crank

    Yes, I know this has been covered but it was in a thread that got sidetracked on hot dogs. Don't ask... I am rebuilding my motor and doing the lower end bearings. They all look really good but of course I am replacing them. There are a few options. First, I could get new toyota bearings by...

    Dropped my crank!

    To all who have experience with this or work with bottom ends FREQUENTLY: I took my motor apart last week and have had my crank sitting in my block since, no main caps. A friend came over tonight and I rotated my stand (!!!) forgetting the crank was just resting, and it fell. It fell about...

    VPC acts as a FCD - HOW?

    How does the VPC eliminate fuel cut? I assume it *raises* it, or else that would be quite dangerous. I know it uses a voltage MAP sensor and coverts it to a frequency signal similar to the stock AFM, but wouldn't that frequency signal still trip fuel cut at the 1400Hz (or whatever it is)? There...

    Who needs a craigslist laugh?

    I found this local guy selling his supra on good ol' craigslist. http://worcester.craigslist.org/cto/994247319.html I emailed him very kindly telling him it's not a turbo if those pictures he posted are of the actual car. I told him that someone who doesn't look at the engine picture could...

    SSQV Flange Dimensions - Please help!

    I need some info on the SSQV flange and a google search didn't help. I am going to be installing a set of cooleeze pipes. They have the SSQV flange, but I need to plumb my Bosch 110. I want to make a flange that will utilize the seal and c-clip for a constraint, and output a fitting for 1"...

    DDP - To recirc, or not to recirc.

    I have read several threads about downpipe options. I just installed a Cooleeze 3" DP with elbow. I ran it open the first night until I could have the test-pipe welded to the cat-back the next day. The power of open 3" downpipe, to 3" DP and 3" test pipe WITH catback was DAY AND NIGHT DIFFERENT...

    Stock AFM, removed air screw, Apexi AFC - Who's done it???

    I got my wideband gauge and AFC Neo in the car this week. This weekend I am putting in a stock AFM with the air screw removed (to avoid chance of fuel cut when I set the MBC to 13psi). Has anyone done this and got a good tune with the Neo? I would think I will need to add fuel across the...

    New Alpine Head Unit, Antenna Stuck Up

    Replaced an old Alpine with the new 9884 (with iPod control) - I recommend it. Ever since, my antenna goes up, and won't come down. I planed with the power antenna wire on the wire harness. It's hooked to the wire on the head unit that only gives it power when Head Unit is on and in "tuner"...

    "Lifetime" Fuel filter dissection - With Pics

    Well, here it is. I've read the debates and here are the pictures for many to ponder upon. Now on my second supra, I have changed fuel filters on both cars. The first resulted in a sheared line. The new car went like a dream - thankyou, PB Blaster. My first car ran FAR better with a new...

    100mph, Brake, Car Dives to Left

    I brought my car up to about 100mph on the highway the other day. I got on the brakes to come back down to 65 fairly quick and when I stepped on the brake, the car really pulled to the left - to the point that I was shaking after. The car has all new pads and rotors all around, and the...
