    Best Way To Build An 11 Second 7MGTE

    /\Good luck on that one.. Extremely doughtful you would be able to accomplish that. It would be so much more cost affective to just upgrade the turbo rather than spend tons of money on trying to make an inefficient turbo fast. It would be very hard to break into the 12's on the stock turbo.

    whats the best 7m-gte build up

    I have heard horror stories with 7M's even with under 100k miles. You just don't know how what this engine has been through in the last 19 years. I have not had any problems over the last 5 years with my rebuilt stock internalled 7M other than the head lifting from running so much boost. And...

    9 sec mk3 at 144mph

    I local guy in his MK4 used to put down consistant high 9's at 143-145mph on a single disk clutch- HPF Feramic.. Of course that is on a bigger MK4 clutch. Not to mention it only lasted 17 runs before the disk needed to be "re-pucked"

    whats the best 7m-gte build up

    If your 7M has high miles or is unhealthy, get it rebuilt. If your not sure of the condition, get it rebuilt. You can only bore so much, so either way it won't increase your displacement much at all. At a bare minimum I would upgrade the headbolts and get a MLS headgasket. With the rebuild...

    Dyno sheet thread

    Aye Mate, very good numbers.. If you had an EVC your power curve would be much better. Your boost is creeping up to 16psi, but in the midrange, your only at 12-13psi.

    SP61-GT wastegate issue

    You might need to put a bend in the actuator rod. Make sure the rod is pushing straight. If there is any angle, it will malfunction.

    Best Way To Build An 11 Second 7MGTE

    "Didn't DR Jones come close to 11's on a stock motor and turbo? IIRC" Nope, he had an SP57.. I remember MK3Supraguy ran a 12.0 at 115mph on an upgraded CT-26 and he could never repeat it.

    Rods?

    Probably a google search would do you better. I personally beleive you would need to make a rediculous amount of power or have some crude tuning to bend or break any of these rods from what I've heard.

    Upgrade my CT26 or switch to a T3 or T4?

    From my experience: CT-26 (57trim)- Cheap. Almost instant response, tons of torque, but does not pull hard to redline. Not much happening after 20psi. SP61GT- No more instant response, but smoother and still plenty quick spooling. Lots of power, pulled hard into the rev limiter. High...

    Rods?

    I know a guy running Eagles ESP rods on his 2JZ making just under 900rwhp. So you might want to consider them too. Edit: He races regularly too.

    Upgrade my CT26 or switch to a T3 or T4?

    The upgraded CT-26 is definantly the biggest bang for the buck. But if your willing to spend a little extra, I would go with the Boss or SP61GT that can bolt on to your stock manifold and downpipe. Your 7M will have great top-end power that you will never see in the CT-26choker.

    How many people have welded their clutch?

    Yeah Brent. I had no idea what was going on when it happened to me. Especially since I have never heard of anyone having this problem before. I wish I would have known about it and new about that reverse trick to break it loose; that would have saved me a lot of money in towing fees.

    How many people have welded their clutch?

    "humm i still have this fuldenza i kinda wana run it thou" Don't do it. It's not worth it. I had the clutch/flywheel conbination that you are talking about and it welded on me. All it took was a burnout. I have been running the stock flywheel and bronse clutch for a while now with no...

    Best Way To Build An 11 Second 7MGTE

    Thats because the honda has many more mods than your typical supra. Put cams, intake manifolds, ported heads, bigger valves, standalone engine management and the supra engines will make that power too with a 35R. Most of the guys who go all out with supras are the ones usually running a much...

    Mechanics hourly wages?

    About 13 years ago, I worked for two different Toyota dealers. I was in a toyota sponsered program that was for getting an associates degree through the community college in automotive technology. The program was great but the PRIVATLY OWNED dealers sucked. The first dealer was ok. They...

    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    I have seem plenty of C6 Z06's at the local track. Most of them were running very high 11's to 12.0's at about 124-125. Most of these guys were on street tires. I would imagine with some sticky drag tires, mid 11's would be more common. But I think 10's on a stock Z06 is very very rare. I...

    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    A 600rwhp MK3 should easily outrun a C6 Z06. A 500rwhp MK3 and a C6 Zo6 would be a close race.
