great build bro. keep up the great work. ignore the ignorance from idiots here. you've accomplished more than many of us have with LESS than most of us have in our cars, so keep doing what you're doing man. P.S. I'm parting of my built 7m from thedave925 "hurry up and wait" build. Let me...

Well it sealed and was perfectly fine for a little over 3000 miles. Then all the sudden it just took a shit.

I bought this car from thedave925. go read the build thread and then come back and tell me sloppy work was done. I've personally built 5 7mgte's and never had an issue until this one, which is why I'm asking for help. I can't figure out the issue

EVERYTHING was machined and prepped for a metal headgasket there was a little over 3000 miles on the engine when the headgasket blew the first time. now its doing it again

i dont know what annealed is, but i had it pressure tested and everything and it checked out fine. I dont think there was any damage to the block at all. would adding rtv gasket maker in between the layers of the headgasket help it seal, or does it get too hot for rtv?

It was a new build, so yes. Everything was machined and all. It blew, so I machined the head and put a cometic on, and it still blew

So I got an initial blown headgasket. How? I dont know. But it didnt overheat, so I went the lazy way. It already had an hks 2mm stopper on it, so I just lifted the head and swapped out the gaskets. Started it up, and instant ::bhg:: So I took the head off, stripped it down, had it pressure...

my car did that before. except it did it whether it was cold or up to temp. i just changed my spark plugs and the issue went away

Not too thread jack, but I'm in the same position as OP. My turbo is dead (spitting oil) and I'm looking to convert to t4. Built 7m, 272s, forged everything, fuel system, etc. I'm limited to 91 california pump. Will the 6266 be able to make close to 500rwhp at 18psi on a maft-pro or should I be...

thanks. good to know since im still fairly new at this

he doesnt warranty his turbos at all. thats why i decided to look else where for a rebuild

you lost me here. we're not talking about the manifold

So I was talking to a guy at Turbo Power, a turbo rebuilding shop in Sacramento, CA about rebuilding my Turbo Concepts TC70mm bolt-on turbo. He told me that because it is journal bearing, it would not be advised or safe to run beyond 18psi. He said if I plan on ever running more than that, I...

I have a fully built 7m and it has 272 BC cams in the head. Would it increase my low-end power if I swapped out the intake cam for a 264 cam instead? I know some people used an NA intake cam sometimes but that was at lower power levels. I am shooting for 500+ rwhp but I would still like to...

Can we get some people posting some hp and tq numbers with either of these turbos on a 7m and list your mods? I'm looking to purchase one of these turbos this weekend but I would like to know what to expect and the only results I can seem to find are from 2jz's. where's the 7m support?

What up kid. When you gon get that 5spd swap done?

any particular reason why? i am curious on this myself as i am trying to figure the best injectors to go with also for my setup

Well........... I feel like an idiot. I found the issue. The coupler for the intercooler piping on the tip of the I turbo was split on the backside. I couldnt see it though until I took it all out of the car.

yessir

so is it possible that with such a big turbo, im not getting enough fuel to the motor and thats why its cutting out?
