any un-needed parts under there?

Egr valve is closed under wot your not gaining anything.
A/c compression is a idler pulley when the a/c button is not on. Again no gain other than some weight savings.
Power steering. Why wouldn't you have power steering other than trying to save weight. But your ge so its not like your going to get into the 12's unless you have a gutted stripped miata that its going into.
Adding filters instead of drawing the vapors out why. Do you know what pcv stands for? Positive crankcase ventilation. So basically when you add thoes filters and they fill up with oil better hope that its just your main seals blowing out from all the pressure in the crank case.
Removing coolant lines. Where do you see any gain in that?
Where are you coming up with this stuff? Hondas? Its so funny its retarded.

i know you get some oil in you tb and in the intake, but its not slinging out as much oil as these other guys are saying. so wouldnt running valve breathers help your motor run better by helping keep your tb and intake cleaner? or do 7m motors build up that much pressure its better and safer to run the valves?

and i dont plan on running this 7m on the strip, id like to put a sbc in. but i cant find a conversion kit for it, does someone know where i can get one or am i gonna have to build my own?

and i was just wondering about the tb coolant lines, ive never seen them on a tb before and was alittle curious about their purpose.

That's going to be custom work. A few people have done it so determined searching will turn up info but you're on your own for parts and fabrication. The PCV draws out blow-by from the crank case, removing it is a bad idea. The crankcase does get pressure while running and it WILL barf oil if you put breathers on the valve covers. People run into that problem all the time when installing catchcans, a tiny filter doesn't stand a chance. The tb cooling lines are very common on 80's cars. They're not particularly useful if you live in a warm climate but they don't hurt the car and you gain nothing by removing them.
Well, there is no conversion kit for a SBC, mainly because it’s not a very desirable swap in the Supra. It has been done, but you can find more 500+ hp 7M-GTE swaps out there vs SBC.
If you intend to put a SBC in it, why even bother messing with all the stuff on the 7M? Since it is not a daily driver then you can pull the 7M out and find yourself a nice built SBC and get it done by spring. That will save you time in the long run.
On a side note, the 7M-GE is pretty darn efficient for what it is and the technology it was designed with. Its nothing like a SBC where just a mild cam and headder gives you 75+ hp, it is almost at its peak in its stock form, even stripping all the non esencial parts on a stock 7M is fruitless, nothing will be noticable gained. And like said previously, things on it are there for a reason.

well im having to put this car back together from scratch, and i dont want to waste time and money fixing and adding stock parts and accessories onto a car that i plan on taken the motor back out of anyway. but if i get this car back on the road then i could sell the motor and 5spd for more if i can show it works.
When the pcv is hooked up to the tb is pulls vacuum on the valve cover ports thus making it "breath better". Wont do a single thing for performance. If you dont want oil in the intake add a catch can. And no that doesnt add performance.
LOLLLLLL. If your going to remove something you should understand what it does and what its going to do when you remove. AGAIN Your not gaining shit from removing it as the valve is closed(just like any other car) under wot. Meaning when your on it you exhaust is not getting recirculated. Other wise if your removing it you need block off plates.
i do understand whats its for, ive already read over the egr section in my repair book and i know it important and i need it, but i dont know if this motor is will run, the car sat under a tree without a hood for almost a year and half, im not looking for performance right now, i just want to start the car. i dont want to spend almost 400 bucks on a new egr system for a car i bought for 500. i just spent almost 300 on parts today, i cant throw another 400.
You would need to make a block off plate for both the intake manifold and the flange. Orr, you could check out the stuff in the forsale section to get one for a lot less than $400. I have a few laying around on various engines and in parts bins so they not that hard to come by. I would suggest the second of the two options. Good luck!
ya everything ive read and heard about the 7m says its a good reliable motor with decent potential. but this is no where near my first sports car, but it is my first import sports car. my wife had a sc300 and i liked it, thats why i chose a supra and not a z or rx.
Reading this tread makes me feel like a jackass for removing all the shit i took off my car. Think I'm going to start gathering all the parts I took off and put them back on to get everything in the proper working condition again.
Ya i wouldnt pay more 40$ max shipped for the egr parts. Dunno where your getting 400?
&m is good when maintanied and not ruined by idiots. 7mge is slow. It can seem fast but when you get in a gte its slow.

autozone wants almost 400 for all the egr parts, but i called a few salvage yards and im going in the morning to get it for 50, but that yard is over an hour away, these cars may be common where most of you guys live but i live way out in bfe, so most of what i buy has to be new cause most of the time its not worth drive. and buying used car parts online never seemed like a good idea to me, because your trusting someone youve never met and just cause the pictures look nice doesn't mean it is
