    Rebuilt 7M, bad rings?

    I was running Lex AFM/550's before the rebuild, then my electronics went out, hence the MAFT. I can't just lose it, because I have nothing else to fall back on. I'm using Castrol GTX Conventional 10w-30. I will definately have to get into the engine, that's a given. Just driving it along...

    I've just about had it.

    I wanted to put money into my MKII with the 1jz in it, but I have another problem..... No compression in my 7M!!! This motor is fully rebuilt with Ross pistons and rings, and I don't believe it. I don't want out of the supras, but damn, I can't ever EVER seem to have a decent engine! RANT...

    Rebuilt 7M, bad rings?

    Well I came back from korea, and started to finish breaking in my newly built 7M from 1 year ago. So I drive around and hit the 400 mile mark from the initial rebuild. I am running pig ass rich, with recently installed MAFT and SAFC together, with the 3.5 inch MAF. So the engine felt great...

    I've used fans before in my MKIII, and yes, overheat problems and heat soak were a problem in mid summer, even with my CSF radiator. stock cooling belt driven fans FTW

    Did I make a wise purchase?

    Well the car looks semi okay. The interior is not bad though there were a few cracks in the dash. There are two small areas of rust, one on the front windshield lower plate where the wiper arms rest, and the other on the front of the hood, under the lip. The motor is mounted securely...

    Best gas Co.

    It doesn't matter which brand you buy. The quality rests with the service station you pump from, not which brand gas you pump.

    Finally out.

    Hooah, good stuff. Yeah I never had a chance to go over to the box. Volunteered, but it never happened. I kept extending in Korea to work. Be safe over there.

    Did I make a wise purchase?

    true track FTW! I was checking put HPfreaks.com and they have other options for the MKII, though I never have heard of anyone trying them. I need a source of parts, i.e. downpipe, y-pipe. I am reading up on the 1jz, but finding information is hit and miss. I want to know what mods...

    K&N oil filter: your thoughts?

    K&N's are great. But I would save that money for gas and get a Wix. They're fantastic.

    Dyno's in your area--

    I live in Anniston, AL, east of B'ham along I-20. I can't wait to test out my new motor with the new 74mm Turbo!!! I'm hoping for 750RWHP+ with these 880's. The Magnafuel 625 is loud.
