    What is the worst mistake you have ever done to your supra?

    When I bought my first Supra I drove it home from Knoxville. (30 mile trip) It was low on oil but I didn't know anything about it but about 12 miles from home it started knocking then there was a loud explosion...My #1 rodcap went through the side of the block creating a big hole. Only got to...

    boosted 7mge

    i put 7MGE internals into a 7MGTE block with MHG and ARP headstuds and it rocks...fuel will end up being a major issue as the 7MGE has smaller injectors.Luckily everything is GTE on mine except the internals and head.

    engine dies after rebuild...

    I just rebuilt a new engine for my 89T. It's a stock block with 7MGE internals in it. Everything is stock except for a 1.4mm TMS MHG and ARP headstuds. I finally started it up for the first time today then 3 seconds later it dies. Upon startup the starter motor has a hard time working which is...

    help with head studs

    This is what I used for ARP headstuds: Kobalt 3/8" drive 14mm 12 point socket. Worked perfect and can be picked up at Lowes. Mine cost like $4.00.

I have a spare GTE block which lead me to this idea...GE internals in a GTE block. My question is if I...

    oil in plug wells

    Do the valve covers have the screws in them? If so replace the screws with 10mm bolts I believe and that should fix it. Mine did the same thing when I rebuilt the motor.

    motor starts then dies

    My N/A did the same thing and it turned out to be the fuel pressure sending relay (think thats what its called anyway) It's located on the passenger side next to the strut assembly. It's a little yellow plug.

    Questioning my turbo choice...

    words of inspiration....well since my block is .40 overbore maybe larger displacement might help a little bit....whats the worst thing that could happen besides not spool?....i'll give it a try and keep everyone posted (it'll be awhile since i'm waiting on new rings, bearings and a connecting rod
