Empera does some nice work. Link -AM3

You have mentioned that you are short on money, concerned about this car becoming a money pit, and you are taking out a loan to fix it. DO NOT DO THIS! These cars can be great, fun, and reliable, but the road to get one there, especially one that isn't currently running, is long and...

You would need a head unit that was compatible with those controls as well. -AM3

In before WOS! -AM3

I could be wrong, but they should be Denso style clips. -AM3

I was thinking of doing the 1UZ swap next winter. This has guided me to wait until I'm more prepared to do a swap like this. That would have been an expensive mistake at this stage of life. -AM3

Same here, mine left a huge gap at the top, I had to take a dremel and shave the entire edge almost a 1/4". -AM3

I'm with Backlash, probably a boost leak. -AM3

Well, that explains why my number 1 has low compression... -AM3

Fine for a stock headgasket. For a MHG, it needs to be machined or it won't seal. Bad knock sensors won't cause knock, justa CEL. If its knocking at idle and it just had a BHG, I would bet on it being bad rod bearings. What I would expect is that you will need to pull the engine and rebuild it...

I wish they would sell me a CPS at that price. Thay wanted over $500 at my dealership. -AM3

Just remember, the 7M is prone to BHG on a good day, throw some knock in the mix and you're looking at a very expensive "hopefully". -AM3

One thing to take into consideration would be cooling. The 7M is not forgiving when overheated. I've never been offroading, so I don't know for sure, but I would think mud and dirt plugging the radiator could be an issue. Build looks sweet though, good luck! -AM3

If you actually made an attempt the use correct spelling and grammar, you might get some answers. But posting like you are in 3rd grade won't get you attention from the more experienced members. I mean I seriously can't tell what you are trying to say in this post. -AM3

This could get interesting. ::popcorn:: I'll be completely honest, an engine swap, especially with a 7M, is not for somebody who is not mechanically inclined. I would strongly consider starting off with a smaller project and working your way up from there. This engine can really become a...

Godspeed makes a nice kit that uses the stock mounts and comes with electric fans. I also believe you could put a shroud on it as well, but I don't know for sure as the shroud was long gone when I got my car. -AM3

I've seen it happen a couple times, but it was cars that needed a lot more work. Not a mint supra that also had a spare engine laying around. I'm leaning towards bullshit. -AM3

No you didn't. Strut braces are a waste of money on these cars. Dual wishbone suspension negates the need for them. -AM3

O.o Dear God, that owner should drive that thing off a cliff. -AM3

First of all, if you're referring to stuff as "whatever its called", you should probably go do some more research. Second, if you are going to do a MHG, you need to machine the block and head. This means you will have the engine fully disassembled. A new set of bearings and forged pistons are...
