All I know is that after driving a sebring this summer and a mini van this fall, anything will be fun :).

Well my plan is to get it together, break it in, and then go to a local dyno about 10 miles away. 75 bucks for three baseline pulls with a WB, using more gas/boost each time. And yes, I do have the self control not to drop it and go full boost during break in :P. That should tell me how...

Agreed. When I was working out in the oil field, every single one of the guys out there had a bucket of scrubs. They work so much better than the orange stuff (which I also have a 2.5 gallon jug from sam's :P) and you don't need any water (it all evaporates away).

Yeah, I forgot to list the wideband. The maft-pro's ability to work in conjunction with the wideband and other fuel/tuning modifications is actually one of the primary reasons for me picking it. Thank you for being upfront about it. I understand that dyno tuning would be the best route, and...

Let me start off by saying that I do know about the hazards of upping boost without adding more fuel. My engine is currently being machined and the lower end assembled. The list is as follows: Completely rebuilt head w/3 angle valve job and some mild porting Cometic MHG (on it's way) Wiseco...

This will become your best friend: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/ And the wastegate shims, I would personally take those off as soon as possible. The wastegate shims are simply some washers between the turbo and the actuator on the two bolts in this diagram...

Fixed :).

I would assume they are the same, since the early turbo supras used the 6M crank. But that is my guess.

Just starting things off with a teaser: The shop is currently finishing up the machining, but I have to wait until monday to order the internals. This stuff is only half the stuff that will be coming in within the next couple of weeks :).

Which part do you actually pry on though? I can see what looks like a ball joint, but I can't get a good bind on it.

Ok, this is gonna sound dumb, but how do you remove the front windshield wiper motor? I couldn't find anything in the TSRM. I remember something in the haynes manual about using a screw driver to pry off a connection or something (lost the book somewhere in the garage :P ). Any help would be...

Thanks guys. I'm not worried about the turbo gasket stuff, going with full T4 setup. I actually saw what looks to be a mani > turbo gasket, just thought there might have been some gasket on the NA that had that too. Thanks for the clarifications.

I was wondering if the topline engine gasket set from importperformanceparts.net is interchangable between the 7MGE and the 7MGTE. I ordered a 7MGTE engine gasket set and when it arrived, the sticker on the actual wrapped pieces says "7MGE". I went back and checked on the IPP.net site and they...

So have they shipped out yet?

Gotta add "7mgte engine decal" to my list since I finally got one of those ebay auctions for one :P.

Just spent the weekend scrubing the grime off of the engine bay with a sponge and getting it ready to paint. Hopefully my car will be back together within a month. It's always something.

Block was dropped off at the shop last week. Waiting to find out clearances / sizes to start buying some things. Also waiting til I get ready to drop the engine back in to buy the turbo and other warranty covered stuff. major stuff: - wiseco pistons + eagle rods - turbonetics 62-1 and...

I had the same problem with mine. It turned out to be some after market alarm that had been half removed (found a box under the steering column that was still hooked up). Once I removed it, the passenger door problem went away.

I had a near hit and run... while I was driving. Some moron ran a red light and barely scrapped the dirt off my rear bumper, I mean it was close. I got out of the car to see if there was damage and the guy took off. I jumped in the sup, dropped the clutch, spun around, caught up to him, got...
