The 7m, be it ge or gte isn't the most reliable engine in the world unless it is low miles with a properly done headjob on it. Even then some people shim the oil pump to get more flow because of oiling issues. Then again I've known people to replace the hg and torque it properly then have no...

I miss my car lol. Take good care of her Arashi.

Sounds like a boost issue. Had the same problem with my old 7m and it was actually an air flow problem

My current Supra is a hardtop and I'm trading it to a friend. I will not settle for anything but a targa on my next Supra and I'm doing a 1jz swap into it since I had my first bhg on the 7m! lol

Lmao nice.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm trading the car to him and he knows full well the risks of the vehicle and is fine with it. I am moving cross country soon and didn't trust the old girl to make the drive, and I am looking forward to getting a 91-92 model mk3 once I'm out west. Can't wait to get my...

First I'd like to say I tried searching for the answer on the forum and google and couldn't find a straight forward one. So my cherry has been popped and I have my first 7m-gte bhg. I was going to go with an oem hg and arp studs but does anyone know if its composite or graphite? And which is...

Yep. As everyone has already very wisely said it came factory with the r154. Really though you can google it and get an instant and correct answer.

Hey can anyone link me to this youtube video with those GT cars? I tried finding it and couldn't.

Exactly what is the "upgrade" on the ct12a twins that Albert is working on? I'm very interested if someone knows of or is building a good upgrade so that I could keep it twin turboed without feeling like a jackass xD

That's a definite disappointment to hear. I'll definitely keep everything in mind so thanks for all the advice guys.

Alright that is what I like to hear. When I do my swap, which will be months down the road, I'll send my twin turbos into Driftmotion for them to be rebuilt. I saw that they offer that rebuild/upgrade for the stock twins.

If I kept stock cams but upgraded the fuel system what kind of horse power would I be looking at? And what size injectors is a common upgrade? 550s like the 7m? Or bigger? Yeah I'm aware that a single is "better" than twins but I plan to get the rear badge that says "2.5 Twin Turbo R" xD! Way...

Since I'll be separating with my 88 Supra Turbo soon my next goal is that on my next MKIII Turbo I want to do a 1jz swap. I plan to go with the cheaper TT 1JZ over the VVT-I as much for cost as the fact that I have always wanted a twin turboed car. What is a reasonable and easy power goal for...

Sadly I'm moving to NV in 2 and a half months and I doubt the old girl will make it. My buddy is offering to trade his 97 Jetta GLX for it. Its still a 5-speed, and he's driven it from Alabama to Ohio, back, then to Texas and back with absolutely no problems. He also gets over 30 mpg interstate...

Well I discovered the issue to not only the oil gauge not working very often but also all the electrical issues I've been having. A power cable going from the positive of the battery was so horribly corroded that the wiring was practically dust. Cut away the bad wire today and replaced with new...

I think I may end up keeping the 88 but I'm not sure. My friend said that he'll trade me his Jetta to make sure I make the trip. Once I'm out there I could always sell that and use that money to get another Supra.

deleted.

I'm not sure if the two are connected but they seem to be. This started a couple weeks ago. I stalled my car out, because no matter how experienced you get on a 5-speed there are those times when it happens. After that all electrical systems to the car were gone. Nothing came on when I turned...

I was just wondering if it was an urgent fix because its my DD and I don't have the money at the moment.
