    7MGTE smoking BAD

    My 7M has about 5000 miles on a fresh build. It would blow a little blue smoke on decel from high rpms but was otherwise fine. I upgraded to a DM 57 trim and the smoke didn't change. I drove it for a few hundred miles and suddenly the car started pouring out huge clouds of smoke on decel, enough...

    Cold start struggles

    My 7M recently started being hard to start when cold. It will crank about twice as long as usual before stumbling to life at 300 rpms. No codes. Wideband still reads rich after it starts (~12.0). Any ideas? Temperature is about 40 in the morning when this happens.

    a340e shift solenoid

    I'm working on a friends 89 supra, it starts out in 3rd gear and throws trans code 62 (shift solenoid 1) and 64(lockup solenoid). Occasionally it works fine. Does this sound like a wiring issue or is it common for shift solenoids to go bad?

    Compression test results

    Curious about my compression numbers, about 4000mi on 7M build with standard GTE pistons, 2.0mm HG, I forgot how much was taken off the head and block but I remember it being about right for the HG thickness I chose. It's making 180 psi across all 6 cylinders, warm engine, throttle open. It...

    lean under part throttle boost?

    Under part thottle boost, my AEM wideband will read around 15.5 for a second or two until it drops down to around 12.5. I'm a little worried about it starting out so lean under boost. AFR bounces around from 14.5-15.5 during cruising and around 10.5 at full throttle. Any ideas?

    Boost creep

    Ever since I put on my Driftmotion downpipe and 3" exhaust I've been having boost creep issues. In 1st-3rd it will stay at 7 psi but in 4th and 5th it will creep up to 12 psi or so and hit fuel cut. Is there anything I can do to fix it besides putting on a more restrictive exhaust?

    H&R springs too low

    I have the race series H&R springs on my car and it is slammed, especially in the front. Any bump in the road and the tires rub the top of the fender liners badly. Do they make a coil spacer that I could use or is there any other way to raise the front an inch or so without having to buy new...

    Installed Driftmotion downpie, ebay catback

    *Downpipe Some info for anyone thinking about these parts. The driftmotion downpipe is perfect. Money well spent. Fitment is perfect and it tucks up under the car very well. It's heavy stainless and the finish is very nice. The opening from the turbo is very large, the wastegate flapper will...

    One brake light won't work

    All the tailights work properly, but when I press the brakes the driver's side light assembly turns off completely. The passenger side and 3rd brakelight work fine. The bulbs are new. It's an 87 Supra.

    Clutch stuck on floor

    I just finished a full engine rebuild in my Supra (which runs great) but I can't drive the car because the clutch pedal is now about an inch off the floor. I bled the slave cylinder many times and no change. Any Ideas?

    EGR test

    I'm building my 7M, I wanted to ditch the EGR but apparently I can't without swapping to a JDM ecu. If I have to keep it, how do I test it to make sure it works properly?

    7M build. Pistons?

    I want the engine to be very solid at 300rwhp. I'm torn between using NPR or Probe pistons. My Supra is my daily driver, so I didn't originally want a forged piston because I've heard they are prone to piston slap on cold starts. I've also seen the broken NPR pistons threads. Which is the better...

    Blew my 7M, what should I do?

    My 7M had been running great for about 8 months with a new oem headgasket and ARP bolts. I was driving around town and floored it in 2nd and when I let off it was only running on 5 cylinders. I drove it 1/4 mile back home with no unusual noises and good oil pressure. I took off the oil fill cap...

    2JZ swap choices

    Yesterday I blew the 7MGTE in my 87. I want to swap in a 2JZ. Should I buy a JDM GTE and wire it into my car keeping the stock twins, or should I buy a GE, use my 7M electronics to run it, and use an aftermarket single turbo. I've searched around and am finding lots of information on both swaps...
