    Swap questions!

    Well, while I consider myself decently knowledgeable with Supras, I have never dealt with an automatic shell. So I do have a few connectors that I don't know what they connect to. Here are the pictures. First off, three cut wires by the fuse box. They change from all black to these colors...

    7M-GTE on 2JZ-GTE electronics

    Is it even possible to run a 7M-GTE off of 2JZ-GTE electronics? Maybe off of IS300 electronics? I don't know the system used on those cars though... The only thing that I think would be difficult/impossible is timing. But I've also read that the signals are identical between the two engines.

    Fuel injectors?

    Well. Its a sort of noobish question. Ever since my engine rebuild I've had trouble with the injectors sealing. First I used the o ring kit on drift motion (7m GTE BTW) and I got a leak on the number two injector. Replaced that o ring and I was good for awhile. Then number 5 started leaking. Now...

    Gas mileage?

    Okay. So I did a quick search for fuel mileage and I found that most people easily get better... Actually a lot better gas mileage than me. I'm running about 9:1 compression on a rebuilt 7M-GTE, can't find any boost leaks, timing is dead on at 10*, pretty sure my TPS is set correctly. Don't know...

    Clutch Problem

    Okay. Here's the story. I was driving down the highway and a truck was slowing down in front of me to make a turn, so I pushed in the clutch to grab 4th gear. The pedal fell to the floor, so I pulled over. I pulled the clutch pedal back up, and then tried to push it back down. Now it wont go...

    Electrical guru needed!

    Okay. So I've been living without a tach ever since I swapped in the GTE. My first attempt was at a resistor swap. It went according to plan, except i noticed that the tach was always 4-500 rpm off. Sometimes even 1k rpm off. (idled at 500, went down the highway at 2000 instead of 2500, rev...

    Oil Pressure Gauge Question

    Okay, so shortly after my rebuild, I noticed an odd quirk. Almost exclusively when I drive on the highway, I notice my oil pressure shoot sky high. Pegging the gauge. I know this is obviously not an accurate reading... Since the relief valve would be at ~80 psi and the filter would have blown up...

    Occasional backfiring in between shifts

    So there's one fault with the GTE swap so far. It likes to backfire inbetween shifts. I thought it would be the TPS out of adjustment, so I pulled the codes, no 51. Ohmed out the TPS, with no shim there was resistance, same with a .5mm shim, and then infinite with the .9mm shim. I double and...

    Vacuum line questions

    Okay. I'm trying to set up my GTE, after swapping from a GE, and I have a couple questions. Basically, where does the BOV connect? Also, Where does this go? I have two other vacuum lines in question, and I will get pictures of them later. Thanks in advance though!

    Has anyone had a *good* experience with Napa?

    Well I certainly haven't. I don't remember a single good quality part that has come from there. Exhaust gaskets blow out, exhaust gaskets don't fit, they simply just don't have the right part in the book, they're too lazy to find the right part and worst one to date. They ordered my oil pump...

    GE-GTE Swap woes

    So. I've pretty much come to the wiring stage for the swap.. I figured everything would plug right in... :nono: Only one plug under the dash plugs in, and theres two plugs that are coming from under the fusebox that go to nothing, along with a 6 pin connector that isn't the same as the 6 pin...

    Oil Pump Drive bearings?

    Well. The bearings on my old engine were perfect, but the machine shop cracked that block, and then got me a new one. With very very bad oil pump drive bearings. And pretty much bad everything else too. So. Where do I get these things? The ones from Toyota are oversize... and the only other...

    7M bearing size confusion!

    I am lost as to selecting bearing sizes for Toyota select fit. I had the machine shop measure all the journal sizes, but I don't know how to figure out what size of bearing I need. for example, Con. rod 1 = 2.1669, which is a 3 in the TSRM. Rod journal 1 is 2.0468 which is - in the TSRM. So...

    ARP Head Stud Washer and Turbo Drain questions

    1st question, I bought a used ARP Head Stud kit, and it did not come with washers. Is it okay to run like this, or do I need some washers? Could I use factory head bolt washers? 2nd question, My original plans were to go N/A-T, but now I'm just doing a full GTE swap. Should I buy/make a...

    The Madness Begins... 90 N/A-T Build

    So the story is this. I originally never wanted a Supra. I actually wanted an Integra as my first car.. Then I smartened up and wanted a rear wheel drive Japanese car. I saw a 300zx and loved it.. Until I first laid eyes on a MK3. I went through Craigslist nearly every day.. Every Supra in the...

    Is this head any good?

    Started disassembling the head I was going to put on my N/A when going N/A-T, but now im reconsidering. I know scoring is normal in 7Ms, but isn't this excessive? Intake: Exhaust: Intake cam scoring: Sorry for the slightly blurry pictures, I was cold and shivering

    Driftmotion power steering line

    So I did a fair bit of searching, but couldn't find anything on this subject. Just a quick question. Which line does the driftmotion 7m power steering line replace? Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

    Pop when turning

    I've done quite a bit of searching regarding this issue, but I only found one thread with symptoms like mine, but it was never answered. Now, onto the symptoms. As the title states, my car pops from the front end while turning. It also does it when I hit the brakes, and sometimes when I let...
