Nice job again.. If its not to much trouble, could you post your mod list?

Is it that you can have a Supra for 1-3 grand? No, I paid about 5 times that much for my 92. You like the old boxy 80s styling and interior? TO most of us here, it doesn't look old and boxy. But lean and mean. Not bubbly and fat like the MK4. For some reason you think the 7m is a good...

I'm waiting impatiently. Good luck on the dyno.

Its too bad they doen't make a stronger version of the VQ. Its a great engine with a cylinder head design that puts a 2JZ to shame. But the rods are downright weak. And the block needs to be sleeved for 700+rwhp. Still, 500rwhp at 12-13psi on a Greddy twinturbo kit and a great torque curve...

Good times.. And good luck with your VQ staying healthy. Do you know how much power you are making? I would guess about 400rwhp.

So are NDC bearings any good? It makes me wonder since I'm ordering Clevite bearings.

"We micced up my JE's and found they were perfect, I guess it depends on the operator on the day." Yeah, they told me all the big name pistons come form the same forging process and are all built very well, but there machinest has had more issues with J/E's compared to the Arias.

I just dropped off my 7M yesturday to get rebuilt at a very reputable shop in Baltimore. After a long talk about which pistons, rods and bearings to use, we decided to go with Eagle H beam(ESP)rods, Arias pistons, and Clevite bearings. I originally wanted J/E pistons, but they talked me out of...

So how can you tell the difference? Are there different part#'s? I have seen some Topline oil pumps that say they are for the 7MGE and 7MGTE and both have the same # 0PT020S.

I think Larry made good points about the supra being very hard to control flex with foam and braces. But I'm not really worried about a targa brace stabbing or decappitating. Even if it could happen, which I dought, the minimal percentage of time that I actually have the targa off (and the bar...

I have it and it fits nicely. The problem I had was that my belt driven fan was engauging too often because of the extra heat from the thicker radiator being closer to the coupling. I had to convert to electric fans. The Zirgo works great.

"10 thou of the head and I lapped the block... Guess I could use a 2mm head gasket." With .010 removed from the head= .25MM removed. So a 1.4mm headgasket should be fine. BTW a little extra compression has its benifits too.

Why?? As long as your head and block are not shaved a lot, you could probably run 18psi with a 1.4mm headgasket.

Don't worry, a manifold like that will still make plenty of power. Not as much as a tubular manifold, but its not like its going to cause a cut-off in power. I have seen manifolds like this make 600+rwhp easily with 67mm turbos.
