    JZ injectors in a 7M?

    I was wondering if this is even possible to do. I searched and couldn't find anything on the topic, but I'm guessing that its been tried and failed, otherwise I would see more people doing this. I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but is it possible to put fuel injectors from a 2JZ into a 7M? -AM3

    Is this fuel cut, or something else?

    When the car is warmed up and I drive it hard, at about 5500 RPM the engine stutters and the car lurches really bad until I shift or let off. It is mostly stock with the exception of full 3" exhaust, Spearco FMIC, piping (2.5" I think), and it boosts at about 10-11 PSI. Stock fuel, ecu, etc...

    Bvsv

    How exactly does the BVSV work? I've noticed some guys remove theirs. Is this just to clean up the engine bay or is there a legitimate reasson for removal? The vac ports are broken on mine, so I currently have the line that goes to the BVSV hooked directly to the charcoal canister. I figure if...

    Unhacking a hackjob: Vacuum lines and PS reservoir

    I'm pretty sure I have all the vacuum lines right except for one. On the diagram, it says "to air control valve" but before I removed it, went down the pipe across the front of the engine and to the intake from there. Is this correct? Or is there something else it should go to? Second thing I...

    Coolant

    I figure, the motor was just rebuilt and the rest of the cooling system was empty, so if I'm going to change to a different coolant, now is the time to do so. It says an Ethylene Glycol coolant in the owners manual, but I've heard of some people running Toyota Red. Is that the best route to go...

    Un-hacking a hackjob: Grounds

    In the process of swapping my motor and piecing together the hackjob heap I purchased, I have 3 grounds that I need help figuring out where they go. The first one is the negative battery lead (not the end that attaches to the battery for all you smartasses out there, lol) Second is the...

    Flywheel bolt install procedure

    Ok, so I have run into another minor dilemma. My service manual says to use Loctite on the flywheel bolts, but the TSRM says to lubricate them with motor oil. So what should I use? Oil, Loctite, something else, or nothing? -AM3

    Clear Timing Cover?

    I've seen these on a few peoples cars, and I have checked E-bay and the classifieds section, as well as searched, and I can't seen to find any. I was wondering who makes them, and how I can get one, or is it no longer available. Any help would be appreciated, I would really hate to put an ugly...

    Dipstick and gasket questions.

    1. I'm reassembling and my oil dipstick tube doesn't line up right with the tube that's in the block, it comes up about a half inch short. Any suggestions to fix this? 2. Oil pan gasket: I have a cork gasket that came in my kit. Would I be better off to go with FIPG/RTV? Or will the cork gasket...

    R154 trans install question

    Ok, I did a search for R154 install advice and got nothing. Also, I have read the TSRM and its procedure for installing an R154 trans. My question is, is it possible to bolt the clutch to the flywheel and bolt the trans on like you would with a normal trans, or is there a reason why you can only...

    Question on Head gasket and RTV

    Ok, so I have come to the next problem in my rebuild. I'm ready to install the head, and I know I'm supposed to put a small bead of RTV on the timing case to engine block joints. My question is, does the headgasket normally go over top of these beads of RTV, or are these spots only covered by...

    Engine rebuild questions

    I'm currently rebuilding my motor, and have run into a minor question. Should I use a sealant of some sort on the timing case gaskets, and what kind should I use. I'm pretty sure I should, but I wanted to double check with you guys. I'll update this thread as I have more questions. As always...

    Engine swap advice

    Ok, so for those of you that don't already know I bought my Supra for $1600 with a hole in the block. Its an 87 Turbo, with a built head, and some "custom" (hack-job) wiring. I'm working on removal right now. I have a service manual that gives good general info, but can be vague at times because...

    Questions on differences between 7M-GTE and 7M-GE.

    I'm trying to find out if all 7M crankshafts are forged. So far I have looked on Supra wiki, and 7MPower and I have not gotten a definitive answer from either. I did find in this thread that at least some are forged, my guess would be the 7M-GTE's for sure. What I'm unsure of is if the 7M-GE...

    New Mk III owner in the midwest

    So I just bought an 87 Supra with a blown motor for $1600. A Mk III or IV Supra has always been one of my dream cars, but I never dreamed I would have one so soon in my life at age 20, lol. Red, Targa, 5-spd, built head, upgraded Turbo, and several other mods. For now, my goal is to get a short...
