    Rebuilt 7MGTE revving problem

    Although you say vac is strong, it almost sounds like mechanical timing is off a tooth(not ignition timing). I'd give the suggestion(a guess) to remove the timing cover, and check the cam position vs. true TDC on the crank, by placing a chopstick or something similar into spark plug hole #1.

    7MGTE 1989 Won't Start

    So, you have spark, but no injector pulse? I don't see why you wouldn't have gotten some combustion when you sprayed starter fluid, then.

    7M-GTE - max power with stock intake manifold?

    Most, yes. I think PTR performance manifolds allow you to keep ac, not sure.

    Hello Everyone! My Teal 1992 Supra Turbo w/ Black Interior Factory Sun Roof

    If I had that car, the only mods I would do would be reversible, such as intake and exhaust. I wouldn't mess with anything external, except perhaps wheels.

    Built 7mgte discovery!

    If you have a built engine(which, at 9:1 is already higher comp than stock), why not fix the bearing issue, and spend the real money on better components elsewhere, like fuel and induction upgrades? These will be the more important bottlenecks.

    morganson's COP S-Type setup

    I get half of what youre saying. The original 12v feed is powering a relay, so that the stepup box gets input straight from the battery?? Maybe you'll get bored and post a diagram?

    duel ignitor getting hot help please

    Ok, so you solved the 15psi limit, and got to 16psi... are you saying that 16psi is the new limit, or can you go higher? And you're saying that your cps wiring was the main issue?

    Previa brake calipers

    That just means that the Previa's bleeder's are a longer length. You can buy speed bleeders in multiple lengths, if you need them...

    Old guy with a great old ride--but you knew that part!

    The wheels came out very nice. Sorry that you couldn't find a 17" option that you liked, as I think 17's are the proper size for the MkIII if you're looking for modern yet understated. I know there was someone who had custom 'rebarreled' sawblades made that gave them increased width, but I don't...

    BosoMKII's project! 56k cut your head off

    Spray the filter with starting fluid. If it starts, it's probably the ecu signal to the fuel pump relay.

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3,...NOW FOUR!

    WHAT? Are you in the GA Supra owners page on FB? I live in Lawrenceville. We've been trying to set up 'repair meets', where- instead of having a meet to look at the Suras that DO run, we can get together at someone's house, and work on one that doesn't. That way, the running supras come to the...

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3,...NOW FOUR!

    It will still be awhile. While the engine seems to run pretty well(a slight hesitation on hard throttle jabs), I have a lot of bodywork to do. Maybe it's time for a gameplan update: The initial plan was, to do the interior as stage 3, but I have decided to get into the bodywork instead. The...

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3,...NOW FOUR!

    It's referred to as "light smoke" tint, 90% light transmission. It was only like a $12 total investment, so no harm done, if it didn't work. People say that if you use nightshade, you have to spray clearcoat over it. I didn't want to deal with that. The professional method is to have someone...
