Ok, here's the background on the car. It's a MKIII 7MGE. Originally he was just going to sell me this car really cheap. He has had it for over a year right now in it's current state. It's original motor went on it and he swapped in a JDM 7MGE and everything appears to be where it should be...

I was wondering if anyone know what kinda of vehicle I might find in my local pick your part that I could scavenge a air intake temp probe off of? Or anytype of vehicle that I could scavenge a usable probe from for use with my AEM setup. Alot of people recommend a GM type probe but I have not...

Maybe this is a repost, maybe it's not but I had never seen it in these forums. So just because it's damn amazing I'll post it up. It's a brand new 1990 MKIII Turbo Supra fully loaded. Yet again right here in my city. (Many remember that we also have a MKIV in a different dealership with...

I am wondering where I should place my intake air temp probe relative to my meth injection jet. I was going to plate the air temp probe immediately after my throttle body just on the inside of my intke manifold (which is an aftermarket Vielside, 2jz MKIIIswaped). But my concern is that the...

I got a link in an email today from my alderman expressing her thanks in my pointing out the importance of our local Race track today and city coucil voted 8 - 7 to keep the track open until 2015 min. So thankyou also to all of you that signed the petition even though most of you don't even...

So I'm out working in my garage today and I have a paved ally so it gets a fair amount of foot traffic from people on their way to the park nearby. Every once in awhile someone turns out to be a car guy of one type or another and will stop and chat for a bit about this and that. So while...

I am in the process of re-verifying every single line going into and out of my 2j's ecu. In the process I have discovered an error, 2 actually in the Engine control TEWD. To make matters worse, I have 2 different PDF's that conflict as far as information goes. And no, this is more than...

I happen to have a bunch of premade varying length hydrolic line here that happens to have the correct fittings on it for use with my powersteering rack. Since I am also redoing my oil cooler and my fuel lines I am wondering if it is compatible with these also? Anyone know if I can use...

Well, it's not ready to run yet but after almost 3 years of work and numerous setbacks and obstackles my MKIII with a 2JZ swapped in started for the first time ever 5 minutes ago! I'm so f**k'n happy! No exhaust system to speak of, no IC piping yet, hell I don't even have a shifter in it...

I do not have the aristo E10 ecu connector. It seems to me since I do not use cruise, A/C I really need only a very few wires on it, correct? Such as power and the efi relays. Has anyone else solved this problem with the e10 connector without soildering directly to the ecu pins? What are...

The stupid dumbasses on our city council have decided that this is the last year that they will allow the lease for our local track "Race City Speedway". Ever friday night approx 100-200 street racers go there to legally let lose on a supervised and fairly decent track. The police are...

........CAT! Gotcha to look anyways. LOL Here's a picture of the 7M and 2JZ oil filter brackets. I am doing a 2jz swap into a 1990 MA70 for those who don't know. The 2JZ oil filter bracket puts the filter at a very difficult location when the engine is mounted into the car, especially with...

What do you do to be sure you keep your shop organized? Is there something you do each time to ensure your always organized and neat? Any tips on keeping your things in order and easily found when needed? And particular bin/shelf/peg board system you find particularly helpful in your...

Here's a few shots of the plumbing for my GT4088R, how I think it should be run anyways. The first imagine is of the Oil -TO- Turbo which is the high pressure line to the turbo, the line running -FROM- the turbo out to the pan and finally the two water lines. The water line at the top of...

I have already got a full set of KYB GR-2 struts, and a full set of Bilstein f4-b46-1125 struts. The bilstein's say they are made in Germany if thats important at all. Also they seem to be slightly adjustable. The have 3 different slectable heights each about 1/2cm apart. I'm guessing the...

Ok, I have some concerns about dual fuel pump setups that I'm wondering if they can't be solved with a oneway valve arrangment. I have a MKIV Denso pump intank, and a walboro inline pump also. The concern is that when the walboro is not in operation it appears to be a total block for flow. So...

Anyone think of anything better than truck bed linear stuff for painting the gastank? Or any reason why this would be a bad plan? Or suggest something better?

I have a few broken plugs on my wiring harness for the 2j I'm swapping in. So I thought, what the hell, I'll just check out how much a brand spanking new harness would cost since I was at the toyota dealership anyways. Any guesses? Well, I nearly fell outa my seat when then told me...

Ok, 1st question, why the hell does this stuff stink so bad, I hate the smell of it. 2nd question. I left a bottle of redline 75w90 in the car under the front seat, actually it fell out of the bag and when I carried them in yesterday I failed to notice the missing bottle till today. Anyways...

I have a brand new set of 7m ARP headbolts here. Wondering if they are the same bolts for a 2jz?
