    BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER PROBLEMO!

    You need to resort to the "shade tree method". Have somebody press down the pedal and hold it while you open the valve. Close it and have them release the pedal and do it again. It will work. I think you are running into an issue with the vacuum "one man" kit.

    7M Block is better than 2JZ Block

    The 7M sucks and I am never going back. 400-600 for a 2jzge block that you can turbocharge kicks the shit out of a built 7M. Sorry 7M, you lose.

    Quote i got from machinist

    WOW. He is ripping you off. Ill bet you can find a better rate elsewhere. Or, you could just drop in a 2jzge and turbocharge it.

    Serpintine Belt

    If that doesnt work just take a string, wrap it around the path of the belt and measure it. Then you know how long of belt you need. Just be sure to get the belt with the right rib pattern

    How to port your own cylinder head

    More pictures. The first two pictures show where you need to smooth. These are the sharpest corners of the port and where you will see the biggest gain.

    How to port your own cylinder head

    The first two pictures are after the grinding stone. #3 is a completed shot down the intake with a closeup of the exhaust valve seat. #4 shows how to cut down the short turn radius and protect the valve seats. #5 shows how the intake ports should look. The exhaust ports may have a small...

    How to port your own cylinder head

    I posted this on clubna-t but I thought some of you guys could use it as well. This is the head of a 2jzge that im going na-t with. First and foremost, I want to let everybody know that you should not change the basic shape of the port!!! REMEMBER THIS ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS. I do not claim...

    Why I ditched my 7MGTE and went 2JZ NAT with AEM

    I saved up for awhile to get my AEM. Im glad I bought it. You dont have to get the NA version - you can get a used TT unit also... I think the only thing that wont work is your AC.

    Why I ditched my 7MGTE and went 2JZ NAT with AEM

    No, 6-700 hp has not been a problem. www.clubna-t.com Purchase a lexus turbo kit. A FFIM has to be custom - as with the 7MGTE. I spent 200 making my last one.

    Why I ditched my 7MGTE and went 2JZ NAT with AEM

    Dont forget that the head casting is different also. You cant purchase a turbo kit for a GTE and expect to bolt it up to a GE. The flanges and ports are different. But, if you already have a setup for a 7MGTE and dont have a front facing intake this should mate up to your IC pipes pretty...

    Why I ditched my 7MGTE and went 2JZ NAT with AEM

    So you paid $800 for forged pistons, upgraded rods, rings, con-rod bolts, bearings and machine work?

    Why I ditched my 7MGTE and went 2JZ NAT with AEM

    Yes - I cant think of one reason why not. I wish I would have had the opportunity to go this route sooner Keep in mind that only recently have the ebay manifolds become available. Everybody talks trash about them because they are inexpensive. I got one from a guy in Canada- braces included...

    2JZGE idea... could it work?

    Im definately going to run an oil cooler - easy to install and worth the effort. Especially since im NATing it...... Im turning the front fog light holes into ducts for air intake and probably an oil cooler duct of sorts.

    No thanks to the block tap. Have you seen any oil thermostat sandwich plates? I want to run a cooler, but only with a thermostat.

    2JZGE idea... could it work?

    2jzget for me! My engine gasket set should be here on Thursday - then I can put the rest of this beast together and take some pics of it on the engine stand. I would recommend taking the shortblock apart and cleaning out the piston ring lands though. I cleaned a shitload of crap out of...

    Why I ditched my 7MGTE and went 2JZ NAT with AEM

    Just in case you are wondering how the stock rods hold up, it looks like a GT42 running 35psi and pushing a Ford Probe into the low 9s (yes I know it sounds wierd) finally did it in. http://www.clubna-t.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2912
