My speedometer stopped working so I climbed under my car to find that not only has the speedometer cable been rubbing against the downpipe but that my R154 has been leaking like mad. I double checked all my bolt torques to make sure it wasn't something stupid along with checking the speedometer...

So I just installed my AFPR kit from DM and it fixed a lot of my issues. It turns out there was a nice bent wall on the FPR hardline causing my base pressure to be higher than expected. It fixed my issues where the car would sputter around 3.5k to 4k along with the car wanting to die when I...

So I finally got around to installing the DM IC kit, old version, and for the first few days the BOV was working great, popping off at low throttle. I drive the car around yesterday and notice it's a lot quieter than normal but still pops off at higher psi 2+. I have a few questions, with the...

So I never hoped this would happen. On my way home driving down a back road that I often travel, I'm going slow keeping an eye out for those 4 legged annoyances. When out of the field, up and over a hill, comes a 100+ lbs doe. Foot down at about 40 mph but it was just too late for it to help...

Okay so here goes. New 7mgte crate engine, new spark plugs bcrp6es gapped @ .025, new ngk wires and properly timed @ 10 degrees with t1/e1 jumped. Here's the weird part, I've got a very very common misfire at idle(650 rpms). I've grounded my igniter per the screw inside it to a body...

Yesterday I pulled my ISCV off my upper intake of my 88 7mgte. I noticed the check valve has a tear in the rubber check valve which I think is causing my slight hesitation on acceleration. My question is does the ISCV shut completely when you're away from idle speeds or does it stay slightly...

Does anyone know local tuners in/near VA? I'm looking to start piecing/saving up for a EMS and need to find a tuner before I start. I'd hate to get a EMS that I can't find a local tuner for.

Alrighty so I started my car up to go somewhere and went to pull out and the car started to buck like mad at part throttle. So after I limped it home I didn't have any CEL come on but I ran a test and sure enough, code 31. Switched it with another AFM I had here and now the car doesn't want to...

I found this pretty neat read while I was scanning the net for a few things. http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/h22.pdf

Okay so here it is, my recently dropped new long block 7mgte idles great but sometimes if you rev it up and hold the throttle at around 2500rpm it sounds as if the cylinders are loaded up. The car occasionally puffs a nice big cloud of black smoke during a rev, not after. I've looked around on...

Okay well here's my problem. I've been scratching my head at it for awhile now and even looked at the TEWD but can't quite figure this out. I'm not sure if all these problems are tied together or not either. So here it is, I finally dropped my engine and got everything hooked up, I primed the...

I'm currently in the process of building/rebuilding my 7m longblock but the previous owner more or less tossed the bolts into one big bag, not to mention it seems most of the bolts are lost. I can't make heads or tails of what bolt goes where and using the wrong bolt for the wrong part could...

I'm currently building a 7mgte that was a brand new long block so my question is.. Egr or no egr? I ask this question because the previous owners have either removed/lost the egr pieces while they stripped the old block/head before purchasing the new one. So in order for me to put egr back on...

Okay well, early in the month of June of 2011 I went to look at what seemed to be a very clean looking 88 supra turbo. I arrived to find a garage kept 1988 white toyota supra turbo 5 speed with a crate long block. So I didn't have all of the money at the time when I went to look at it. So I...

I've read the sticky but found some things confusing.. During the first 20 miles, did you want to go WOT till 4k then aggressively up-shift through 'all' the gears? Or would first through fourth or even first through third be enough? Making sure to downshift to keep the revs around 3k for proper...

I've got a brand new long block available to me. I'm wondering if I should 1) just bolt everything together with the OEM HG torqued to 75 ft-lbs 2) Pull the head and install a MHG with ARP head studs torqued to 85 ft-lbs. (Since it's a brand new head/block will they need to be machined? I know...

Hello everyone on SM. My name is Coby and I'm from the central VA area. I've been hanging around for awhile but never really posted. I currently have 2 supras. One's a white 83(266,xxx) with a 1jz swap waiting to go in(For sale sadly..:cry:) and a 88 white supra(97,6xx) with a crate engine...
