    Targa top/How I love it

    Hell last week it was over 40* in CT so I drove with the top off(and the heat going) but yeah, targa is where it's at. I had a hardtop with a sunroof for a while and I thought that when I opened the sunroof it would be the same, but its not even comparable.

    What Radiator can i use???

    If your short on cash you can screw the 1jz temp sender into the 7m radiator drain spot. With some brackets to mount it you could run hydrofan on the 7m rad then.

    1st drive in a 1jz mkIII

    The rpm gauge is also wrong...I passed the speed limiter at 122 since the CEL came on. However, I never said it was that fast. It was definitely a fun run though.

    Rear Speaker fitment issues

    The rear speaker spots are 5", but 5 1/4 fits, you just have to mess around to get them to mount right. Most likely you'll have to make some new screw holes. EDIT: I suggest pulling off the rear plastic and removing the speaker box so you can mount them correctly. Trying to put them in with the...

    Headlight problems?

    If you have an 88 engine harness and an 89 car that's your problem. A friend of mine had the exact same setup and the exact same problem. I never was 100% sure of the solution to this problem, but my guess is the culprit is a red wire with a yellow stripe that goes to the headlight relay from...

    1jz tach

    No they aren't, the r154 clutch and pressure plate won't work with the 2jz flywheel.

    Headlight problems?

    Do you have an 87-88 harness in the car? If so, that's the cause. A friend of mine had the exact same problem. I think it has something to do with the connection to the headlight relay from where the wiring harnesses meet near the ECU.

    JonoTurbo's build thread

    I sort of expected to take some flak for putting a 1j in this car, so i'm going to say this now: I don't care. I've put together and run 4 7m's of my own and they are great motors, I just wanted to try something different for once. To my knowledge no one in CT is running a 1j at the moment...

    JonoTurbo's build thread

    I used a 2.5" holesaw to cut a hole through the firewall directly below the speedo hole. I've heard of people using 2" saws, but that seemed too small. The wiring boot fit perfectly into the 2.5" hole. Pulling the harness through was tricky, I can't imagine trying it with a 2" hole. The first...

    JonoTurbo's build thread

    So last year I sold my black 87 7m car; which I was very happy with, except it wasn't targa, and I miss having a targa. My other reason for selling was that I had picked up a bit of supra history: The car used to belong to Genna. When I picked it up, it had fallen far from what it used to be...

    supercharged 7m??

    The "Twin Cam 24" on the cover gives it away, it's definitely a 6.

    2JZGE MKIII with 7MGTE Wiring and Electronics

    One suggestion for the TPS, I don't know if you're using a turbo or NA 7m TPS, but one is clocked 90 degrees off from the other. So you should be able to switch to the other and bolt it up without having it point up towards the hood. They both have the same connector as well.

    supercharged 7m??

    It's a 1g-gze, he's right it is a rare engine. 168hp 2liter I6.

    manual & auto ecu swappable?

    I'm running an auto ecu on a manual harness, no modification nessecary at all, not even throwing a check engine light.

    Stupid Mistakes I've made working on stuff, thread..

    I had an engine back together after a BHG repair and I dropped a cam cover screw into the cylinder. I've left the ratchet on the crank pulley when starting the car something like 4 times. Just a couple of days ago I went to fill my r154 with fluid only to realize that the driveshaft wasn't...

    favorite shock combo with eibach

    I've run both tokico blue's and illumina II's with eibachs, and the illumina's (the tems ones) are a way better ride. My tokico blues also blew out within 15k.

    Need some help with 1jz wiring

    Yep the light comes on when W is grounded. I'm hoping it's not the ECU and instead thinking it has something to do with the charge circuit problem. I don't think the ECU is powering up at all. I can't really look at the ECU board though because the company I bought the clip from sealed it with...

    Need some help with 1jz wiring

    Yeah, that's how I was able to test the functionality of the light. The ECU is supposed to ground that pin itself though so it can turn the light on and off as needed.

    Need some help with 1jz wiring

    When I turn the key to "ON" the charge light and the check engine light don't come on like they should. I tested some things and found out the W pin on the ECU isn't grounding when you turn the key so that's why the check engine light isn't coming on. The engine cranks and everything else seems...
