    The Fiery Debate: Stick with 7M Power?... or swap for 1JZ/2JZ

    Stock manual drivers seat?

    I know leather is an option over stock velour. I don't think power was an option. The option list on a Supra is very short. Regardless of the window sticker. edit: and now that you picked my intrest, I will dig through my library. 89 and newer is confirmed power driver is stock. 9 way with...

    No vacuum after a cold start up?

    That isn't an engine vacuum line. It is ported vacuum. Meaning you have open the throttle plate. Vacuum can be found at the boost pressure sensor. I say that one because it is easy to see and access.

    The Fiery Debate: Stick with 7M Power?... or swap for 1JZ/2JZ

    Case in point... And the original poster joins in his own thread of demise. I want to see this stock 1JZGTE that can lay down 500 on a dynojet. I will give you my house and pay the mortgage if you do. And since your point was that for 3800 you can buy a 1JZ that lays down less than half...

    30 mpg

    Gas had an average price of $1.81 when Obama signed executive orders (jan 09) forbidding oil exploration and removal in the US. Then the speculators started again. Like the pompus ass said, go buy a Chevy Volt from him (GM).

    30 mpg

    I remember when my older brother was 16. It was about 65 cents on the low end. Speaking of which, the Yukon needs to be filled. There goes $90 never to be seen again.

    Raise your hand if you think $4.15 a gallon or so is cool knowing our supply is huge, and we won't harvest it to keep energy prices high.

    Is it a good idea to upgrade to Metal Head Gasket even if not blown yet?

    In the mid 90's (I think) Toyota changed their composite gaskets on everything. The 4Runner was recalled for the gasket. Toyota redid all of them, but only the 4Runner was recalled. The 7M has nothing on the 3VE. You will at least want the newer style composite and proper head torque.

    Anyone ever burn out a stock ecu on a 89-92 7mgte? Symptoms? Thanks!

    Unless you were rubbing your feet on the carpet and and trying to zap it, I doubt you fried it. Maybe if you hooked up the battery backwards, and the fusable link didn't melt quick enough.

    12.7 @ 106 1.7 60ft Stock CT26 New record!!!!!

    There are several factors in play. His higher compression engine does in fact matter. His turbocharger responds much quicker. He leaves at 6 psi. I leave at idle and engine vacuum. And I have 3.73, not his 4.30. My car is 2.1 seconds behind his when I used the CT26 with my stock turbo engine...

    Cooling System Rehaul

    Did you switch to the Canton piece yet for the block adapter? It goes down and is higher quality, much like the rest of your set up.

    Overheating issues

    My new stock radiator and working A/C system made the air so cold with temps in the low 90's, the wife asked me to turn the temp up a little.

    I was just explaining it to those that need it explained to them, not you chunks. :) I will get the stock unit redone when I get the IPT unit.

    Driftmotion 57 Trim or 60-1 T4 Turbo Kit 7MGTE

    Boss Jr in 57 is also outstanding. If you can get them on the phone. ;) Yes, it does have more lag than a CT26, but it has to have more lag. The exhaust is noticably bigger. I took a picture and put it here somewhere. The same would be true for the JT series, which I haven't seen anybody...

    Question for those who know...

    Fuel milage, or how long will it last? It can get 30 mpg on the highway, but you will average about 18-20 per tank while stabbing the throttle. The engine can run good up to 200,000 miles with proper maintenance. It will run a lot longer before dying, but not at the same performance. The...

    30 mpg

    This.... leads to the following. Between Vegas and Albuquerque the milage wasn't as good. Lots of hill climing and taking cruise control off. I did 24 mpg on that stretch. Your owners manual says "avoid jack rabbit starts. Do you know what that means? The A340E has .70 overdrive. The R154 is...
