    timing belt

    Yep. OEM is always the best bet for belts and hoses.

    Anyone have a pic of FMU on 7MGE?

    "Fuel Management Unit" I have one on my car. My 12.6@116 setup is as follows: Vortech 4:1 fmu (raises fuel pressure 4 lbs per pound of boost instead of 1 lb like the stock regulator), Walbro 255, HKS FCD type K3 with dial set to 3, stock injectors, and stock afm. Running 18.5 psi boost with...

    Manual Steering.

    Weight reduction and better road feel at speed. Those are my goals. Have you seen how rally drivers drive? --the steering wheel is never straight. You would have to be the hulk to muscle the car around without it. This is my weekend warrior so I can put up with a little stiffer steering when...

    Manual Steering.

    I think I read somewhere about a mustang (or mustang 2?) rack swapping in. I'm sure its not a direct swap, but may be easier than the RX. Also something to keep in mind when messing with the front suspension is "bump steer". The lower A arms and the steering arms(tie rods) must pivot on the same...

    Cool man, at least it looks like there is hope.

    7mge non interference

    I had a valve come in contact with the piston when a shim came out of the lifter and acted like a lever to open the valve further than it normally would (see link). But under "normal" circumstances, the engine is non-interference. I suppose higher than stock lift cams could cause contact if the...

    Injector Question

    Unless your NA is equipped with high impedance injectors. I believe I read somewhere that 88? (not sure of the cutoff year exactly) and older and NA's came with low impedance injectors and would have a resistor pack. So supramatt, if you have one it will work fine, if not you will need to get...

    Injector Question

    You will need the soleniod resistor pack off of a turbo model also. http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/fi/FI_111.html If you don't use this, you will most certainly fry the ECU.

    EGR block offs and emissions

    I would think that if you did this you would fail for hydrocarbons for sure. If you retard the timing too far the mixture dosen't have enough time burn completely. I passed NJ emissions no problem with the EGR blocked off. Of course if they knew that it was missing, they would have failed me...

    Gauging interest....Bolt on 62-1 complete turbo for 7MGTE

    This same exhaust housing has made 650 whp on a DSM. The smallish A/R could start to choke it up a bit around 500 whp, but it should be interesting to dyno it in a few weeks. I should have my car running again this week, so it will be off to the dyno to compare my upgraded CT 60-1 to the...

    Car Only Runs for a Minute.

    Try checking the solenoid resistor, or swapping in a known good one with a buddy. http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/fi/FI_111.html

    Need help with AVC-R

    .2 bar is 3psi. You are hitting .6 bar because 8 psi is as low as your wastegate will allow. You can go up from there, but not down.

    Tons O' questions

    Nope. Just a lighter spring in the actuator. The auto trans is weaker than the manual, so Toyota did this to make the auto trans last longer.

    Tons O' questions

    I only know the answer to one of your questions: Yes, 6 psi is what the auto's run for boost.

    Igniter Question?
