    Twin Turbo 7M Manifold

    There really isn't a point to twins unless you have V engine, period. Twins do not spool faster, you have half the exhaust heat driving each. A small one does spool faster, every one knows that, but two small ones don't spool faster than one of the same size.

    MPH x gear ratio x diff ratio x 336/ tire diameter = RPM. Write it down.

    whats a good oil filter to use?

    Toyota used to have a nice filter. I don't know that it is comparable to the top quality filters listed in the oil threads. The new one we know is average at best.

    People who have lapped their blocks...

    This needs to be repeated a third time. MHG aside, the block must be flat, or any headgasket will have trouble sealing, and likely leak.

    Help! Charging problem

    Toyota makes their own EWD. And it is the best, hands down. If you don't pick one up at the dealer, try ebay.

    common problems for code 51....

    Actually, for the engine and not A/C, there is only one problem with 51. The idle contacts are open during diagnostic testing.

    Problems from hell

    I think you people check to see who does work for 19.95 an hour or something, and then go there. Did they even check to see that engine timing is correct on the used engine that was installed?

    Just thought I'd change my plugs today, check em out...

    There is 12 inches in a foot. Unless that manufacturer says not to regap, you can. Most plugs need to be checked and adjusted before installing. OEM will often have sleeve over the plug. Those are supposed to be gapped. I still check, they are sometimes still wrong. Pull your codes.

    will the horsepower potential over do the massive weight

    What are you getting at? The Supra is not a sports car. It is a GT, grand touring, luxury coupe, or other similar description. Not to be confused with a Mustang GT, which is a pony car, along with the Firebird and Camaro. My A340E driven, 7MGTE powered sport, roof equiped car is only 3650...
