No worries I'll post up some more pics when I get a chance. It's not a bolt in conversion but not impossible either. Biggest issue is room for radiator and fans. She's definitely 4wd and staying that way. I plan to do lots of tracks and touring around outback oz in this thing. I just finished...

Yes exactly, I'm trying to gain waste spark and the KV maf (plus the larger injectors), that's the whole reason to consider the GTE ecu. It would be a stepping stone to get the car running and registered before installing an aftermarket ecu. Standard ecus are much easier to get passed here, no...

Hi 3p, amazing work on this project mate. Well over my head but I can respect and appreciate the knowledge and work you've put in. Having seen the maps, how do you think the stock GTE ecu would go running a GE? Obviously there will still be a tune for vacuum, just curious if you think it would...

Necro bump!!! Well there has been some progress lately, quite a bit actually!! The engine is nearly together, I should have the long motor completed this week or next. I've just finished reassembling the cylinder head and a new HG arrived recently. Due to a change of direction I replaced the...

I make billet alloy oil caps to suit the jz engines with a variety of different engravings... Mk3 Supra logo, mk4 Supra logo, teq logo, "2jz no shit!" Or " 1jz" Can also do custom text or basic graphics if you ask nicely ;)

Should be m12*1.25 Use a cap head or button head screw and an alloy or copper washer under the head to seal

Id roll a new set of shells in then, big ends at least For $100-200 why not, how many miles in that 4 years?

The red circle is indeed an oil drain.

if its not pinging then leave it where it is if youre really running 20 degrees then that why it goes so well :)

interesting that this seems to always pop up shortly after a rebuild.... anyway, throw one of these on your shopping list :) http://technicoracing.com/cs/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=293

Got the circlip that holds the release bearing into the clutch?

C'mon, do you really think that Toyota would just leave the pulley to free float on the crankshaft and have some magical way of moving back and forward to align the belt? The T belt pulley bottoms out on the #1 main bearing journal, and the serpentine belt pulley bottoms out on the T belt...

Cool project, i always wanted to do this but went down the angry NA route instead. Keen to see how it pans out. Should be a great drive.

A decent set of sticks will make a huge difference even with stock ports and intake on a 7m-ge. Ive even run it with the stock cast ex manifold and full exhaust, gives a decent increase in midrange, but you really notice the top end improvements after adding a set of pipes and a nice 2.5"...

I had to diagnose a mysterious water leak on a 7m recently (after fully reco'ing and r&r'ing the head). Water was going inside the motor, had no idea where from but it was pissing into the sump. I modified a spare radiator drain plug by stacking a couple of extra o-rings so it could flow water...

I dont like aluminium pulleys personally, the belts tend to eat them over time however the oem steel ones are fairly light and will outlast many engine rebuilds this particularly applies to cam gears, i would never run a cam gear with alloy teeth as ive seen how badly they wear! i modify the OEM...

Have the shop take 0.050 or so off the head and block to give you reasonable comp Add cams in the high 260 degree advertised range and heavy duty springs Add ARP rod bolts and balance the rotating assembly Add a standalone or at least change the crystals in the stock ECU to raise the rev...

Nil progress unfortunately :( I bought a new daily as the cressida as giving me the shits with needing to be fixed all the time. I'm actually hoping to get the motor finished off soon, once I get on top of work again. I got the fancy oil pan and I made a revision 2 of the oil pump outlet so the...

wow long time no update, not too much work on the engine although i have gotten a couple of hours work done on the head (valve clearances half done now) and bought a few new toys for it. still snowed under with work plus my daily drive got written off a couple of days before christmas, so im...

I spun the last motor in this car to 8000 with no bearing problems and i have another that regularly does 7700, both on stock rods + arps. You just have to keep enough oil upto the bearings and be anal during the blueprinting/assembly phases. The problem with pushing this one towards 9k will be...
