Lol Arguing about cost and potential is pointless when we are all imposing our own experiences and plans. For all we know the car is intended to be a dune buggy. The question is 7m or 1j... That's normally not a question that deserved a lot if response. OP needs to be a bit more specific

Whoa... planemos.. you got a build thread running on that beast?

I have heard a lot about EGT sensors, but none about people using CHT sensors. Would you use cylinder 6 sparkplug? Its just a ring at the bottom of the sparkplug if I remember right? 6 is the hottest I believe... not sure how useful the info would be though, because there is very little you can...

Fight it.. especially with a clean record :)

What would really help sift through all the stuff your reading here is a couple things... 1. picture of the car... (us Supra guys like pics.. even if it is of a Cressida (which is our car's sister)) 2. Story of your skill level (ie.. planning to do this yourself? Your a professional...

Are there sensors that should be added or upgraded? I have seen people monitoring their EGT. I have a wideband and the stock O2 already. I dont think I need to monitor fuel pressure because I can manually see that if a problem arises (which would probably be very rare when all I am running is...

(new post because different subject matter) From what I understand, my 88 7MGTE already has stock sensors for: CPS, TPS, MAP (manifold absolute pressure? Do we have this in a 7MGTE?), Engine temperature (although I am not sure how good OEM sensor is), Air temperature (?), O2 Sensor, EGT...

kk, Im a little behind you in technology. Not sure what DBW, TRAC, PWM outputs are, etc.. I believe the HKS unit is limited, but you can addon sensors. Not even sure if its the right one for me (still research and learning) Google is my friend, but experience can skip a lot of humps. In the...

In theory.. thats a good tale. In practice... it doesnt work. So many people think they can just pick up a junker and get it in this awesome running condition with huge performance for nothing. Doesnt work. The people that can build these engines themselves get my jealousy and admiration. But...

No idea how you can say a 7M is cheap... my shortblock cost me just short of 3000. (thats with forged pistons, polished rods and new bearings and oil pump) Reliable 1j or 2j? Sadly, unless you know the build personally and very well, you cannot assume that its well built. The engines and front...

Im lucky, because I have a good tuner. I was told not to go with the AEM because its not dynamic (as in, cannot compensate for large drops in altitude). I dont know if that's true, and the HKS one that I am looking at is way overkill for my car, however, I have never shied away from overkill...

Cost totally depends on what your capable of doing PROPERLY. (note that I stressed that one word)

its sad how the value of the car doesn't reflect the attention given.. lol.

The problem is.. you can buy a "done" car for under 20,000 and it will seem like your are overpaying.. then when you add up the bills it takes to get you to where that car is... your way past 40,000... and a lot of headache. I learned this about 4 years too late.. lol. Face it.. Rodel's car is...

Canada... 100 kph... not mph.. lol. Just imagine.. in the 70s right as I was getting my license (yes.. I am THAT old) and Canada went from MPH to KPH... so the 60 MPH signs were changed to 100 KPH. The cars did NOT read KPH... just MPH... so.. how many times do you think we got away with the...

I just love the normal rumble driving followed by insane engine/turbo sounds.. lol. Looked like a blast to drive, but I was getting scared.. the sun was in my eyes and I wasn't wearing sunglasses....

Us Canadians chill outside... and sometimes inside.. if the doors arent sealed correctly... lol. (you guys with no snow on the roads have no idea what your missing) Thats really odd, did you see the radar gun? (Did they show you the speed?) I thought your 90 had stock size wheels (height) If...

plus a tad more for parts if you want to drive it. I imagine that the seals might have shrunk a little in the past 23 years... although driving this car would be a sin..

Where and at what speed?

now.. that was a wicked pull. so.. what did you punch through what that time.. lol
