After problems i always get code 14, the engine management light just flickers on when it's spluttering. it will usually tick over just fine, even as i coast to the side of the road, then splutter and die when i try and pull away. it's been fine for a couple of days now but i would like to...

My mods are, full 3" exhaust and downpipe, 57 trim turbo running standard boost until i can get it 100%, metal HG and ARP head studs. i only get code 14 after the car has died, at the mo it's clear. When it dies it's mainly under load, it will tick over on 6 and somtimes revs up not too...

Does nobody have any suggestions?

Hi all, I've just finished an engine rebuild and swap on my supra. (bought a new supra and put another engine in it, rebuilding while i had the chance.) anyway, having put about 500 gentle miles on it to run it in it let me down on my way to work with what i thought was either fuel...

Ok people, with all this horse power around, i'm interested to find out how fast you guys are hitting 60mph (or 100kmh if that suits you more) if you put your time and a brief list of mods/hp that would be great, Cheers.

I've not looked to see where the latest damage has been. it's a good point that you make about maybe having a dodgy rod, but the setup on this block was fine until i swapped the shells with "standard" sized ones. Ive had the mains done as well, i thought i might as well seeing it was going to...

Hi all, am looking for some advice about my 7m. i recently started a project 7mgte, i bought a car with the head already remove as the owner was fixing the hg but didn't finish the job. the head had been skimmed already so i assembled it and put it back on with a metal hg and arp's. once i...

Hi all, i've just put together a 7mgte with a 57trim ct. My first question is to do with the stock BOV. i seem to be getting a chirping noise from the turbo when i lift off, and i'm sure this is a bad thing. How can i check the stock BOV and should i get an aftermarket one? if so which is...

Yes 4psi, The turbo was not in great condition and there was a rather large boost leak.

Many thanks for all the help guys, will be getting on with it this week :icon_bigg

Hi All, Sorry to start another HG thread but couldn't quite find what i was looking for. I'm putting a 7MGTE together at the mo and it has come to the moment i need to put the head on. The head i'm using has been skimmed by the previous owner who got bored of the project and i fully intend to...

Thanks for the helpful info guys, i will be having other sensible mods to suit the boost level. what's the sensible limit of the 57trim before the 60 is needed? and is sticking with the CT the cheapest route? thanks, John.

I'm putting a 7mgte together at the mo and the ct26 has had it, i was intending on keeping the standard turbo with the intention of upgrading later. however, as i'm going to have to have it rebuilt/get a new one, i was wondering if it's worth upgrading now? i'm aiming for around the 400bhp...

hi peeps i'm John, i'm new to the site but i've had a few mk3's. Seems like the guy's on here really know there stuff, which should be handy as my latest supra is far from road worthy! till then i'm saving for the fuel bill as i live in England (UK) :icon_bigg
