What did you do to your supra today? Pics

Google Supra COP mod, it will lead you to the thread. Lays it all out and explains it. Fairly certain with a standalone system it removes the wasted spark firing order to help prevent spark blowout too, but I haven't researched it much yet.
I already planned on researching it but my mind is no state to handle that because I am running off of 3hrs of sleep and last night was a friend's birthday, so yeaaa lol
Contemplating what to do with my poor old 7M. Has a nasty tick/knock, burns oil, idles lumpy, been overheating although a thermostat seems to have fixed that.
Not sure if it would be better to try to save mine or swap in a jdm counterpart. Roughly the same cost in the end. Time vs Money.

That said, I replaced my 7M-GE for blowing a coolant hose (Still running great, but burnt lots of oil through 490,000+ km valve stem seals) but that was in order to move to a 7M-GTE.
A JDM counterpart will cost more, unless you're just going to drop it in with no work done. I do NOT recommend this, as JDM engine condition will be an unknown. The only way that this will save time is if you rebuild it while continuing to live with tick/knock and lumpy idle, but running, but it will cost money to have any peace of mind dropping this in.
Been there lol I got pissed off enough one night and got a replacement pad from rockauto then later on I freaking found the original one in my damn trunk of all places wedged in between the spare tire.BrandonW;1947787 said:

Quite true. There is also the ever present urge (as a redneck at heart) to somehow stuff that '73 Pontiac 400ci + trans sitting in my garage, into my poor little Supra. Lol but I think the best solution would be getting another 7M to rebuild while mine slowly dies. It still has tons of power just sounds really bad and idles funky.

Check your valve adjustment and do a compression test. You may just b hearing abnormal amounts of lifter tick, and burning oil thru worn valve seals. Never know, you may have a more solid motor right now then you think.
hey. my car smokes sometimes, idles rough sometimes, and has had a noise at around 2200rpm for the last 2 years. even with all that it runs strong, and just put down 270/370 with only minor mods. when it dies i'll build another motor.
swapped out ignitor,ordered spark plug cables. tachometer still bounces,and misfires in 5th gear at wot around 3.5k rpm to 4.5k rpm 
still think the tuner messed up on my tune. they insist its my ignition system.

Well I just got a new drive shaft (not aluminum :cry in the mail so I put that in. When I lowered the car my muffler sat right down on top of a can of PB blaster and sprayed it everywhere, which was... dumb...
Ooooo and I wired in this pretty new head unit :naughty:
and here's a pic of my soup

There was a 400 ci small block done that looked pretty awesome. It was for sale for the longest time. Can't remember the trans behind it.
