    Clarification on Throttle cable

    And there I thought I was going to explain how the hydraulic valves operate on potential of difference, forcing an upshift and downshift.

    Emanage Ultimate 7MGTE install

    Didn't I read we didn't have injector control due to the fact that Toyota injector drivers aren't really drivers, but ground the circuit?

    JDM vs. USDM Heads

    There is no such thing as USDM head. Or any other for that matter. There are different casting numbers, but those are casting numbers, not part numbers. Excluding the homogolation head mentioned.

    electrical problem HELP

    Yeah, the power wire is grounded. It could be the alternator or frayed cable itself.

    Rear Differential gear - Go lower than 3.73

    The JZ series needs the short gearing. :icon_razz I think a T56 is a better choice if you are going to fabricate. There is far more aftermarket and support for it. Many different ratio's also. The Mustan Cobra, F-Body, and Viper all used the same trans, with slight differences in gearing...

    Strut / Shock questions

    Buying a shock and spring combo doesn't mean it is better. The car has shocks, not struts if you haven't picked that part up yet. A strut is a damper that replaces the upper ball joint, and carries a load. Diagnose first as already stated.

    With a significantly different power curve. And not in their favor.

    coolant pressure tested

    ne isn't a word. How much pressure did you apply, and how far did it drop. Pressure can't hold forever. Afterall, the radiator is designed with a controlled leak. It should hold fairly steady. With a leak that is obvious, the pressure tester will drop pressure quickly. Like right now. Check...

    Complete Parts List For A Clutch Job

    Your list is fine. You don't have x-ray vision, so you won't know about extras until you are in there. With high miles, I would change the rear crank seal, aka rear main as long as you have it apart.

    Engine swap??

    You could always try and shove a Toyota inline 6 in place of the Toyota inline six. They sold the Land Crusier with a bruiser of an engine, if you have your heart set on it. And if you don't, and really just want to swap, LQ4 and LQ9 are available on Ebay. Fabrication required.

    Oil and Engine Design...PAO vs Ester Oils

    The old product question was already addressed. So I will add that Penzoil makes very good conventional oils. Despite what the retards at say Jiffy Lube or Wal Mart might say. I don't know. Maybe your local "lube tech" has learned differently. And if you can find it, Penzoil Pure Base is another...

    What filter to use with filter relocatation?

    The Ford fitment filter listed, FL1A is a nice large filter. Get it in Napa Gold as suggested by dubs.

    That is called fuel cut. Or a big vacuum leak. Make sure your TPS is plugged in.

    2JZGTE VVT-i On A MKIII

    Well, if you go past all the fabrication, of which the vast majority of owners here can't do, and don't have the equipment for, there is also the working knowledge of fluid dynamics. I am not saying there aren't people here than aren't capable, don't have the apptitude, Variable cam...

    mk3 supra 7mge-t

    Didn't he ask for turbo 7MGE's? I see two big pictures with GTE electronics, making it a GTE. Unless he means just a swap, then any Supra Turbo picture will do. The GE and GTE aren't different engines. There are small changes to the GE to prepare for the turbo. In the refrence section, I...

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

    .7 with a 3.73 will get you this. For refrence only. That is also a "stock diameter" tire. .7 doesn't bog the engine. I would also think there are other choices besides the .75 and .78 of the R and W trans.
