    My 7M passed away today

    Damn...... Sorry to hear about that. My 7M died last month. FWIW, a fire extinguisher is always in my car. I saw another Supra a while back have the same thing, fire in the bay and couldn't get the hood up to put it out, didn't have an extinguisher.

    1jz head

    12mm 12 point star?..... My friend bought one in a set for me today. Worked well! I think they sell them at any Autoparts store (I think it was Autozone). OMG, the crap I found in my cylinders after pulling the head today!!! SO much carbon, I should post pics, but dayum, it's fugly in...

    Blitz BOV

    Where's the pic of the Supra with the AFM after the turbo and the BOV in front? Anywho, I ran my old Blitz with vent to atmosphere with little issues while I ran my 7M. It would just die at idle sometimes after I let completely off the gas while boosting. If it's the only option you have...

    Tell me it aint so....

    Get the ARP bolts instead of the studs..... especially trying to put the head on the block while it's still in your car, save yourself some time. They are cheaper, and easier to use, and will work as good as studs for you. And yes the studs and bolts will hold the same amount of power, the...

    Do we have to prime our oil pump?

    I would prime my pump before I started it if the block was dry.

    new ebay hood

    Looks like shit. And I doubt it functions like people wanted it to. Looks like a hole in the hood??? Um, regulus grill? Just a fucking hole? People with Stouts took a sigh of relief when they saw that POS.

    1JZ OR 2JZ? WHY?

    Seriously, it was said before, who with a JZ series engine would swap it for a 7M?????????? It feels like a breath of fresh air and TONS of weight lifted off my shoulders not having a 7M anymore.

    finally ordered 1jz!

    I beg to differ. It's just that easy, slap the 1JZ head on a 2JZ block. If it's a 2J-GE block, then you have small issues, but nothing a 2.5mm headgasket and a set of taps/drill bits can't cure. Too bad you got a VVTi engine. 500RWHP max without meth is pushing it for the 550's IMO on...

    cause of rod knock

    All that dirt, rust, coolant, scrapped gasket, pieces of grime, and other junk make it down to your oil pan during the BHG repair. Like drowning your engine with degreaser and letting it seep past the rings, or into another orafice without taking the time to clean it all up before putting it...

    cams and overlap

    On a turbo motor, lift is what I'd pay more attention to when buying cams. I forget what you can actually fit in the 7M head before you have do machine work...

    turbocharger glowing red!

    I always thought it was normal after long hard runs.

    Need 2jz information.

    Cut harness isn't bad. Just pull the clips you want out of the harness and bam, no wires to find or colors to compare. Put it on, measure, solder, and cover.

    Bored? Feel like spamming someone?

    Um..... Those shocks.... yeah.... I am waiting on springs. I tried to get some eibachs but they are discontinued or something. I had issues, so I went with some suspension techniques. As soon as they get here this week, I'll put the springs on. The car is literally slammed right now...
