    Overheating help needed

    Do you have a EWD for your country, model, and year? My car (US model) doesn't have the warning beeper. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=137 What isn't shown on that page is the common power. If your is like ours, then you need to look at the sensor that...

    Ignition issue 87 N/A

    If you have a weak fuel pump, it won't matter if you short B+ fo Fp in the diagnostic box. Think about it. Now, I don't know that is your problem. I haven't seen your car. A car doesn't start for one of three general reasons. And it isn't air-fuel-spark. The combustion triangle is...

    86.5 Foglight Rewire...Blowing my fuses!!

    The fog lamps have their own power and ground circuit, seperate from the headlamps. The only thing you are doing is supplying power and ground to the control side of the relay, and out othe headlamp circuit. It is the headlamps that power up the fog lamp relay. On most of them. Seems like the...

    Post 7mge dyno charts and info here.

    Valge's torque is a good example of what a proper 7MGE torque curve should look like with ACIS functional.

    500 rwhp on stock headgasket and bolts.

    I don't. But that was standard issue Toyota policy, not just ours at the dealership. Not many 7M's back then, the old people still owned them. But we did the 3VZE recall, called the V06 campaign. You never ever put a refinished head on block after a blown headgasket. Well, some people do, and I...

    Best Radiator for A/T?

    The automatic transmission cars all have a cooling system that runs through the radiator. If you block the line, you will destroy the transmission. If you reroute them back in, you will overheat the transmission, requiring a rebuild in short order. The lines on the trans have to be run through...

    Exhaust questions

    GTE still has a manifold. Header is a common street name. Tubular exhaust manifold if it is a hotrod. But header will get you the part you need. :) http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291410/catalog.aspx?F=1702&P=1 17410= PM Jeff Lange for name. Head pipe might get you it...

    31,000 original miles

    I would say the car is devalued from depreciation. Sounds like a deal. Adjusted that is $47,196.34....now that is out of the way, can you make him an offer? He won't go under 10. Likely 10-15.

    advantages for using the NA oil filter stud on 7mgte?

    I have some pictures, just no real description. The intercooler hose will be in the way, unless you rotate around it, or use a different adapter that goes down. I will be going to a different adapter, and AN conversions so I can use sweeping ends instead of the 90 degree bend on the cooler. As...

    Afm?

    If your hose between the airflow meter and turbo is damaged, get it fixed. Deal with that, then go back to your 31. Yes, it will make your car run rich.

    New 5th gear for the R154 - how about a taller overdrive?

    Which is one of the reasons I prefer a planetary.

    New 5th gear for the R154 - how about a taller overdrive?

    Then show putting the check ball and shift interlock together. :biglaugh: I found another speed to rpm refrence. I am not sure why I took the photo. My overall ratio is 2.61:1 with .7 and 3.73. You can do your own math, I know you know how. The picture is for the masses.

    Exhaust questions

    Many people here have posted about custom work at an exhaust shop for reasonable money. Have them mandrel bend 60mm or so, up to 2.5" and get a baffled muffler. Most of the aftermarket baffled mufflers will be kind of loud. Try the FAQ at the top on upgrades for a muffler.

    head gasket

    .50 over? Are you talking a standard Toyota piston that is a half millimeter oversized?

    Exhaust questions

    If you aren't going to build the engine up dramatically, even 2.5 inch exhaust is slight overkill. You will be louder, but not faster. Toyota called the parts(at one time) manifold, head pipe, catalytic converter, muffler. They call the muffler and pipes "muffler". Check with the parts...

    625rwhp tear down part 2

    Why? A corporate GM offering would be better. LS1 or newer. :biglaugh:

    What do you GTE guys do for a voltmeter?

    I often just get out the old Centech $10.00 meter. It works just fine on open circuit voltage checks.
