    Engine mount issues!

    I remember doing this from the bottom(didn;t know there was another way of doing it), and it was a fun task. i had to lift the wheel and put it on a brick if i recall correctly. You just have to angle yourself properly and have a friend to stand above to help guide you. I did it with a wrench...

    88 N/a parts fit 89 turbos ??

    I know 89 N/A came with 4.33 LSD (sport package, as i have one), but not sure for 88's. depending on your preference the 4.3 lsd could work to your advantage, but thats up to you. PEace...........

    should i trade it for this

    Looks Nice. Rotary is a different breed. They have great power capabilities, but are much more intolerant with poor tuning than our conventional piston engines. Ether car is a beauty to have, but you will prob have some people say supra, seeing how this is a supra site. both are great platforms...

    Compression test, good results i think.

    theprodigy79 Now i may be wrong but you're getting higher numbers because the compression ratio is higher on N/A cars than Turbo cars. Please people, correct me if I'm wrong.

    I need to pull the 7M

    Can it be done on your own? Sure. Best bet is to get some one with some knowledge on cars and help you out. I definitely recommend pulling the transmission and the engine out together. The fun part is reconnecting everything and seeing what it is you forgot to hook up. For me it was a single...

    MHG Question, how much to take off of head and block?

    any chance of knowing what the stock height is form the block to the head is? And if their was work done to it , I take it the measurement would be less than stock due to machine work, but then again I guess the width of the gasket could play a role ?

    MHG Question, how much to take off of head and block?

    Quick question here, how do you know if the engine has been machined before? Is there anything in particular one can look for to see if it has had a HG replacement/machine work? Thnx.

    AUTO TO MANUAL

    So if you go 7mge -> 7mgte, to get all displays working you just have to swap in the turbo gauge cluster in and you good to go? Tac, speedo will work? I guess I should do this if this is the case.

    Percent increase, 380cc vs 800cc

    Yea I get 110% 800-380 = 420 420/380 = 1.105 = 110% or 380 + 380( = 100%) = 760 800-760 = 40 40/380 = 10.5 % 100% + 10.5% = 110% Remember you are starting from 380, not 0, so 380 can’t go in to 800 twice from 380. PEace.......

    What do i need for a 7mge to 7mgte swap?

    I just did a swap. I have both a 1989 turbo and 1989 N/A so I had all the parts. A 89+ 7mgte in to a 89 N/A car. I swapped the following in to an N/A: 7mgte R154 Turbo ECU clutch slave cylinder Intercooler Driveshaft I did not swap over the differential, though perhaps one day...

    Are Turbo and non turbo trannys the same?

    The W58 can be used on a turbo and should bolt up just fine. it will last for quite a while. The w58 is not weak by any means, just not as strong as the r154, but is fine for 300/400 Hp. “Clutch- the stock NA clutch will last about 3 weeks at elevated boost levels Your best bet is to replace it...

    Fuel pump / Differential Question

    I know it’s not 100 until the turbo differential is in there. But I considered the pro/cons and with the aid from http://www.geocities.com/z_design_studio/transmission.html I was able to calculate the differences / acceleration / rpm’s with the R154 gear ratios with the N/A 4.3 diff, = a...

    Fuel pump / Differential Question

    Thnx for the info guys. I know my gas is going to suck, and i will probably swap in the turbo diff eventually. I am not sure if it matters in regards to the difference in vin # for the fuel pumps, but the turbo engine/tranny I swapped in is from a 1989+ Supra as is the N/A car is a 1989+...

    Fuel pump / Differential Question

    Hey guys, long time viewer first time poster. I Just did a N/A to Turbo swap.(turbo engine/tranny in to a N/A car.) And I decide to keep the N/A diff with LSD. I still have the Turbo diff, perhaps ill swap it in one day. The car runs, but needs a complete exhaust, so I have not really driven her...
