    This Is Why A JZ Manifold Cannot Be Used On A 7M

    Another that knows just enough to get himself into trouble. The air is moving not static, and the turbocharger has a heat shield. Yep. And how much stuff did you take off the car that Toyota put there but didn't really need? And just to remind you, Toyota discontinued the JZ for a...

    Who changed their ring and pinion?

    I found documentation stating to change the whole diff and housing, requires cutting and welding.

    Who changed their ring and pinion?

    I am looking on MKIV.com. I am trying to find the tech bulletin for new products. Well, I found it, but don't see anything about the diffs. What is the ratio? The mass media has contradictory information. It seems like the ratio also changed at some point. Believe it or not, I am thinking of...

    A340E Auto transmission question... dropping out of OD & 3rd.

    Unplug the range selector on the side of the transmission and see if it does the same thing.

    a340e from a lexus 1uz?

    The LS400 and SC400 are not the same transmission. The sedan has a 2.5:1 first gear, instead of 2.8. You don't want that. Well, they are mostly the same.

    What does your Oil Pressure Gauge read at idle?

    There is two internal leaks. The piston squirters and the cooler circuit. When the engine is warm, the needle will barely be above zero. Get a mechanical tester, and test warm. If you eliminate the factory pressure bypass circuit, and go with a temp controlled thermostat, it will read higher at...

    Never thought the day would come :(

    Oh, it can happen and does. Sadly. I have had two get crunched from knuckleheads. Sorry about your loss. Are you going to buy it back?

    How far can I push stock fueling?

    Only because it is 20 years old. Or older. Most don't last that long because they don't have low speed operation. Stock has decent capacity also. Correct. There is a road less traveled, and a road well traveled. No reason not to follow what works. Fuel system, cooling system, maintenance...

    WTH Forest Green 87 MA70L ???

    So is mine. Does this mean you don't want JDM yellow fogs and folding mirrors?

    WTH Forest Green 87 MA70L ???

    Motor Trend, or maybe C&D/R&T ran a photo of the green Supra with the dark wheels and two exahust pipes, ala 5.0 Mustang. They mentioned 280hp TT, and we don't have that option. I don't recall any mention of "JZ" at all. It was one of the back extra pages like they do. As I mentioned in the...

    What are the limits?

    With quick shifting and decent launch (2.2-2.4), a stock 7MGE with proper functioning ACIS and W58, will turn mid to high 15 at 88-90, depending on the weather and your individual car. 2.2-2.4 on the sixty foot is actually lousy, but with street tires and an open diff, that is all you can hope for.

    How far can I push stock fueling?

    The stock pump and lines have the capacity for 300rwhp. Just don't go much past it. When you do, get the pump, think about the old wiring to the pump and look at the conditions of the lines.

    New here and here is my build

    Fast drag cars are trailered. That is why things like "True Street" have popped up. Driving it 30 miles on a dedicated drag car is rough. Just some food for thought. Nosechunks was thinking of 700R4 and a later a AOD (tall geared Ford). You might ask him what he found looking into it.

    The new build! Ultimate 10 second street car!

    You don't want to lose ET by joining the "stick shifter club" at the track. Transbrake all the way....

    Thanks, I appreciate it.

    Post your Car's Exhaust Clips (7M,1J,2j,1G,1uz)

    Come again? You can hardly hear it even at 4000 rpm. The camera mic is sensitive. Under load, the 7M whir easily overpowers the exhaust sound. They coated the whole exhaust. I read some time back about them rusting, and the whole thing not being coated.

    First time back at the dragstrip.

    Do you have a picture of it installed, in say a build thread? Was the power steering cooler in the way? I know on HKS cooler with its huge core the ps cooler is in the way, and was wondering about yours.

    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    Denso pump part number 195130-1020 (Toyota 2JZGTE 23221-46110) is on the way. Along with the cylinder head cover (spark plug galley) gasket. I already have the cam cover gaskets. I will be deciding on my intercooler in the next week or two also.
