The big race starts at 1:50 PM, PDT, on Sunday. It can be watched online thru PIRLive. It has a chat feature that is fun to chime-in with the rest of the gang watching. It was fun to watch the qualifying rounds today, Saturday. http://www.pirlive.com/

I am curious to know if that is the case, or not. Van

:yikes::nono:I noticed a cheddar cheese colored, foamy substance in the 7Ms catch can today. Too bad I washed it away with brake cleaner. When it builds up again I'll take a photo so we can all get a good look. My question is: Need I be concerned it is a cause of something adverse going on in...

I think it might be my 7M's latest prob... :dunno: 1/6/11, I took the Supra to VIP Performance (Portland), to get the AFC NEO wired in and the JDM TCCS ECU hooked up. Today they ran the car on the Dyno and the car was leaning out, AFRs going from 11.3 to 12.7, going into WOT then w/i 1000RPMs...

:1zhelp:My set-up: New, 7MGTE, Yellow plug engine wire harness, new Denso 2JZtt FP (12v mod) through new wire and relay, new Denso 550cc inj, new 7MGTE FP regulator and damper, drilled out J-tube. Used, Lex/MAF w/SONIC screw, Blitz electronic, dual SBC, AFC NEO, and JDM TCCS ECU. I don't...

My neighbor is helping me put this 7M back on the road: He said that oil on the plug wires mean they are going to be dodgy, and need replacing. What do you know about oily wires? I'm trying to dehydrate the oily plug wires... I sprayed Chlorinated brake cleaner in the valley and in the plug...

I'm getting code 51. 7MGTE idles smoothly about 1000 RPM, on the stock Tach and ECU. I'm getting this Supra ready for Road Racing: So, I removed all the Air Conditioning in the car including the relays and sensors, before I set the ignition timing. TSRM lists: Code 51 may indicate no "IDL"...

These wires are under the intake runners and I have no idea where they attach, or even their purpose. Thanks. Van

The only time it stops buzzing, is when I short circuit the relay at the diagnostic block (check connector)... through +B and Fp. I checked the relay for continuity and it is still good. Weird. Van:1zhelp:

Hi, Have you installed an oil temp sender in an R154 and/or the LSD? Which location worked best for you? What brand temp sender did you find most reliable? Thanks, Van

Hi, We dial indicated #1 piston for TDC to zero degrees and noted the 7M ATI damper sitting at 115 degrees. Ouch! This damper is new, out of the box. I'm planning to call ATI, to ask if we can just take the damper apart, clock it, then reassemble it, but first want to check here, to see if we...

My intent is to build a reliable, very durable engine, capable of racing in a 12 hour endurance race. Some of my fellow Club members think I'm nuts showing the competition what the engine has undergone. On the other hand I said that SCCA can't DQ me for not documenting what internal improvements...

I'm planning on a ceramic, dry film, lubricant for the journals, to reduce friction. What are the advantages in having an oil shedding, ceramic coating put on the rest of the crank? Thanks. Van :1zhelp:

Hi, The 7M I'm building is going in a road race MA70. I'm not going to have the heating and AC, just vent fan and ducting. Will the engine need the coolant by-pass tube (from the back of the head to the water pump housing), to function properly? My plan is to insert a threaded plug at the...

Watch for the brake rotors in the second race... Ouch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUgv0WeQLwg&feature=channel_page Van

I'm needing to know the advantages/disadvantages in using aluminum connecting rods for a road race engine that will be rev limited to 7500 RPM, and will see an enduro a year. Van

Due to the wear on the plate over the past four years, the torque plate is no longer available. I apologize for any inconvenience with regard to UR build. Van

Hello List, I'm about to rebuild the bottom end of my 205,000 Mile 7M, and read that Toyota sells "select fit bearings" as replacements. My question: do those bearings come in a kit, one which includes all the different bearings for the 7M, or do I need to know exactly which size bearing is...

I'm building a road race 7M, and was wondering if anyone on this forum has experience using windage trays or crank scrapers in a 7M? How useful are either one, to an engine that will only see 6500 RMPs, tops, but be kept in the power curve for most of the time on the track, over 3000 RPMs? I'm...

...works for our MKIII? Van
