I believe my questions was answered on the 'other' forum, but I'm always interested in hearing from multiple people before making a definite decision. The answer I received previously is that the two plates are, in fact, interchangeable.

Are the W58 and R154 upper "sandwich" plates (black, metal plates that go between the bellhousing and rear of the engine block) the same/interchangeable? (Labeled "I" in this picture) I have the plate from my old W58, but am in the process of completing an R154 swap and need to know if I...

Update! Over the last couple weeks... Hot tanked, bead blasted, re-hot tanked, and painted the oil pan. Installed AZP oil pump-to-block -8 feed line Installed oil pan Removed GTE Filter Housing Installed GE Filter Union Replaced water pump and gasket with OE Toyota Replaced t-stat with OE...

While "resistance is resistance," sometimes a circuit as a whole will provide different readings when checked in opposite directions because of the presence of things like diodes; which are current limiting devices that limit current flow in a certain direction.

Everything you've described both now and previously make me think that you have a massive boost/vacuum leak somewhere past the AFM. That, or the wiring to your AFM is bad, because the car will act just like you describe if you try to drive it without the AFM plugged in.

Just out of curiosity, have any of you out there with a known good AFM (car runs right and no.codes present) check your AFMs using the above posted test? My AFM came off a healthy running 91 GTE, but I just tested it and it failed the same three specs as the OP.

Ron, which front brembo kit are you using?

To add to this... I'm currently swapping in an R154 in place of the stock W58. I purchased the Driftmotion R154 braided stainless "soft line" to go from the stock hard line to the slave cylinder, however it won't work. The braided line has two female ends on it, one of which looks like it...

This has me so excited, can't wait to see pictures!

I'd also be interested in some adaptors for the Evo fronts w/ sti rotors. Excellent find and thanks to everyone for the hard work and information!

Thank you! And yes, sir, I do!

Wheels - Front: 17x8.5 +25 Offset - Rear: 17x10 +30 Offset Tires - Front: 235/45/17 - Rear: 275/40/17 No rolling of the fenders. The fronts haven't rubbed at all, the left rear has rubbed a couple of times when hitting some larger bumps/potholes; but the car is on the original struts...

I assume you're meant to paint the engine bay? I thought about pulling everything out and spraying a coat or two of clear, but really it doesn't need it and it's not going to be a show car. Really it just took about an hour of rubbin with some all-purpose cleaner and it shines beautifully in...

To this point it has just been a lot of part accumulation as well as an effort to sell off as much as I can from the old GE/W58 to gain funds for the swap. Recently I've cleaned the engine bay and picked up the GTE to be swapped in. I'll be spending the next couple weeks tearing it apart to...

Thanks again for all the compliments! The engine's coming out! It's out! Super clean 86k mile '92 N/A 5spd engine getting parted out if anyone wants anything. The longblock is spoken for, but most everything else is up for grabs!

Hah yeah that picture/video brings back a lot of memories. I'm glad they were enjoyed by others as well! They weren't redone. That's factory 1992 Shadow Grey leather interior :) One of the many reasons I just couldn't pass up on this car.

I'm not sure what you meant by the price being $9000, but I can tell you I bought the car for less than half of that. :) Thank you all for the compliments. There should be a good deal of progress with this car in the coming months.

The stock 7MGE about to come out and I sourced a good complete (ECU, harness, sensors, accessories and engine with an HKS MHG and ARP head studs) 7MGTE that will be going in within the week. Also have an R154 and aluminum 1 piece driveshaft that will go in at the same time. UPDATE...

Dropped the car about 1.5 inches and added some new shoes. It's not on the Stance coilovers that I'd like to get, but something had to be done after finding a killer deal on the wheels. And then a friend of mine started taking a photography class...

This story starts way back in the year 2001 when I purchased my first Toyota Supra. It was a burgundy 1987 Turbo 5 speed model, with about 125k miles on a very clean chassis. I went through a lot with this car while I owned it; repairing, restoring, and modding it along the way. It was a blast...
