That is the factory turbo flow path, so yes, you should get good flow. Jeff

One thing I've noticed is that some of the information posted there regarding oil usage, etc is in direct contradiction to what Toyota says about retrofitting to R134a. A lot of it doesn't apply to me, as I will have a fresh system that never had R12 in it (effectively), but all Toyota retrofits...

autoacforum.com is pretty great. Lots of info. Jeff

How much material is left on your pads? Low brake fluid either means a leak or your pads are wearing. Noise is probably indicative of pads wearing out. Without doing a visual inspection, you aren't going to find much help online, sorry. Jeff

Follow up question: I've taken one apart before, and put it back together, so I know how to do it; however has anyone ever seen any instructions or diagrams for performing the overhaul using the Toyota kit on a Denso TV14 A/C compressor? Just curious. Jeff

I do have access to nitrogen actually. I will use it when I flush the lines. Thanks! Jeff

ND-OIL 9 is the R134a PAG oil used to replace ND-OIL 7 in R12 systems. I will be pulling a vacuum for at least an hour on the system. After doing a quick Google search for "A/C System Flush" I seem to have found more information than I had found before when searching. Thanks! Jeff

I've had an A/C setup sitting for years, with the lines exposed to air. What should I be using to flush/clean them so they can safely be used? Should I replace the expansion valve? Okay, here's the current plan, I'm not too experienced with A/C, but I do know some stuff and have read...

Yeah I'd agree with Mike. I've seen some fibreglass spoilers that are unbelievably solid. The factory spoiler on the AW11 MR2 for example. You can probably stand on it without it even flexing. The newer Toyota factory spoilers are not quite as solid. I've seen some pretty poor CF spoilers as...

There are merits to both sides of this theory, however I would very strongly suggest that bald tires not be put on the car in any position, front or rear. Typically speaking on a FWD car, the front tires will wear faster, as such, provided all 4 tires have at least 3/32" of tread, I'd suggest...

They would need to be ordered from Toyota Japan, I'm not aware of any aftermarket sources that have the same style for the A70. I could be wrong. Jeff

Sorry, I misunderstood the original post. All JZA70's have the rotors being shown, IIRC. Jeff

Thread moved out of 7M-GTE technical, the crank is the same between the engines, should be in General forums. Jeff

Thread moved out of 7M-GTE technical, has nothing to do with the 7M-GTE. Jeff

All A70 rotors are vented. Only the MK1 and MK2 had non-vented rotors, and only in the rear. Most cars have at least vented rotors on the front, except for cars like Tercels, lol. Jeff

The 1JZ-GTE always had the same rods, VVT-i or not. Same goes for the 2JZ-GTE. Only the non-turbo versions of the engines got the lighter/weaker rods when VVT-i was introduced. Jeff

While there are only 2 different types of TPS used on the MA70, they were not always the same between N/A and GTE, and they did not change for the 89 model. 89452-28030 = 86.5 - early 87 7M-GE and 87 - early 89 7M-GTE (Replaced by 89452-20050) 89452-14050 = late 87 - 92 7M-GE and late 89 - 92...

I can't remember if I did any of the original art in vector or not... definitely not for Dark theme, but the "SM" logo used on the light theme may have vector available. I'll look, but I can't guarantee it. Jeff

I don't have any in stock at the moment. Who makes the HKS ones? Jeff

It would work with most stuff, however a few things would be different, like the knock sensor connectors, and the O2 sensor connector, as well as a couple other things. Really if you want to just plug and play, get an 89 harness. Jeff
