The year of the car is '90. Came with a bad motor. I had originally bought a 7mgte for this '87 I have that I was going to build up, until I got the 90 which is in better condition. When I bought the turbo motor for it, it didn't come with a yr or anything. No ecu, cut harness, etc. I was just...

All I know is that it cranks.. I also have an 87 with a bad wiring harness, that's how I know. Thinking it'd be fine with the 90 electronics, since the 90 motor with the melted piston started up and ran

Sup guys? I have 2 7mgte motors. One is from a '90 that has a melted piston # 4.. Needs to get bored over .020. The other is from a engine depot i got from Canada 2 years back. I'd like to see if it is at all possible to put them both together to have one working engine with the '90 electronics...

Haven't been on this for awhile so I'll update you guys.. My job closed down about a month ago. No one got any notice of it, but i recently got another job in no time. Haven't been spending money on the supra because my daily driver got messed up. Fixed it to the point where it can drive ok. My...

Whay part of CT are you from? I'm sending my motor out next week to this shop in watertown

Talked to another guy a couple towns away who seems more knowledgable about the 7m motors. He told me that a torque plate isn't necessary for the motor, and hes done many high hp 7m motors who haven't come back with any problems. He also said I should deffinitely get a wideband and tune to make...

Alright so I called Danbury competition engines in danbury ct. They told me they'd do anything I wanted, but they don't have a torque plate for my motor. They doubt I'll find one at all. Has anyone else ran into this? Any ideas on where to look for one?

Alright its been a little over a month and its about time for an update! I'm pretty sure I have my block all ready for a machine shop.. Tomorrow I'll be looking into this one in the town over to see if they're worthy of taking my engine lol. This is my first build and first time dealing with a...
