    89 7MGE-T Build Thread - Little Fixes

    Check your turbo oil lines. Are they hard or softlines? Straight pipes are obnoxious. Better off getting Driftmotion DP and catback than a cheap custom job.

    Found a W-series transmission

    I believe it is a W57 as 5th gear ratio looks to be different. Ill be taking measurements on Monday.

    89 7MGE-T Build Thread - Little Fixes

    Get the Driftmotion one, it fit perfect. Header wrap that downpipe to lower under-hood temps. A 25 foot roll is enough. Also make sure you anti-seize the bolts! Isnt this a GTE swap and not a turbo conversion? From the picture those look like factory oil hardlines.

    News from Jalopnik New Supra? UPDATED INFO from JalopniK

    There's no need for 2 extra cylinders in the FRS. Will just be more weight and hurt fuel economy. It will be direct injected (and port injected), have dual VVTi, and Wideband type fuel control. ( all new Toyota's around 05' have this. Most other manufactures too.) This will allow higher boost...

    88 Supra Rebuild (Trans swap 1/18/11)

    Either dial down the power on the stock bottom end or prepare for tears. If you plan on keeping the supra for a length of time save up more money for forged pistons and rods. I know you have faith in your motor but your going into the point of no return.

    what i saw on a four banger

    My neighbor has a Volvo 850 R that i help him build. Stock engine, 3in turbo-back exhaust, modified airbox, Samco intercooler hoses, poly motor mounts, and a chip. The thing is ridiculous for what its. Total sleeper. Next is a 16G when the stock one goes out. I wouldn't mind having one as a daily.
