    PTE 550's, the new Venoms?

    Seller's name and rating? I've also heard that when you buy PTE's from some ebay vendor's they aren't machined down to fit in the 7M yet, probably a contributing factor as to why you can get them for so cheap ;).

    ct-26 rebuild

    Those two are going to be probably the best places to have this done and done reliably ;).

    Head surfacing (90 Supra Mk3 7mgte)

    Why wouldn't they touch it? What did they say? IIRC the thickness of the head from valve cover deck to the HG deck is 116mm... Search for the rest dude. Look up at the top bar and the 7th section over is called *gasp* SEARCH. ;)

    HG help

    True, true, I forgot about them only coming on JDM's, make sure you clean that old JDM gasket off before you sprey 'er down with permatex ;).

    Speedometer

    You can do electronic gauges, but not sure if you can rig it up to work on the OEM speedo... The speed cable is two pieces if you are using a 5spd (doesn't matter which one) look up around the down pipe and you'll see the section that unscrews to separate the two.

    Unknown problem at high RPM

    I'd say that the o2 sensor is reading the extra air from the exhaust leak there, since that is very close the the sensor, probably making it run way rich, probably fouling out the plugs and making it want to die like you explained due to being loaded up on fuel. Get that fixed before you go...

    Serious experienced Supra guys only please

    This would be a good time to replace some old ass IC couplers ;).

    HG help

    You guys are leaving out the quench, or the bore of the head gasket vs the bore of the block ;). You want a head gasket that has the closest bore to the engine as possible. If you have a block with a bore of 84mm (I think this is .040" over, it's still early, bear with me) then the best gasket...

    need some input guys!

    Maybe they are ;). They all come from Japan, they are all used motors that you don't know the history of, hell, you go go to your local junkyard and find a rearended supra and get the engine outa it and the same luck with it as you would with a JDM motor Oh, did I mention you will save lots of...

    On top of that, ARP head studs and at least a Cometic head gasket.

    You sir, are pretty much average when it comes to a MKIII on the drags with you mods and suspension/tire setup ;).

    Super monitor and Maft-pro

    It would probably be more realistic to replace the supramonitor's screen with another screen of the same dimensions that would be compatible with the MAFT-Pro and had scrolling capabilities and other functions built in already.

    Im not new but back

    I wonder... Do you think you would gain more power off of this setup by running you IC and hardpipes like you would on a 7M (i.e. over the head and underneath the headlight with an intercooler like a spearco replica)? Hell, the intake mani is setup like the 7M's, but it uses unecessary bends to...

    so what really wrong with the 1g-gte?

    It's already been said and beat to death, but the supra is just too damn heavy to have any decent amount of fun with it running a 1G.

    Hmm, what would you do if you seen someone inserting their key into your car and trying to open it with it? ;)

    Oil leaks I thought were gone...

    Possibly the valve cover gasket?
