from what I've been told (as i've been interested in a 2jz swap myself) is that you could go 2jzge-t with the 87-88 wiring harness and ecu. idk if the 7mgte harness/ecu would work with the 2jzgte (single turbo). if in doubt, dr tweak is your best option

okay so lastnight i had my battery connected in the car. it was fully charged. today i checked the battery and it was halfway gone. this is telling me that something is putting a drain on my battery. i dont think faulty wiring would put a drain on the battery, or would it? could it be a bad...

Phew, thank god. Are there nuts on the backs of the screws, and I'm assuming I'd need to get the front end up on jacks. Do I assume correctly? I'm sorry I'm asking so many questions, I don't have very much automotive knowledge, I'm still learning as I go. My buddy's mechanic might be coming out...

Do I have to pull the motor to be able to replace the starter?

Don't mean to jack the thread in any way, but I have a very similar problem. I have an 88 7M-GE A/T. This morning, I went to start my car and here's what happened: turned the key to the "on" position and all electronics inside the car worked. Then I turned it to "start" and all of the power...

because without the Evo they would have no chance at attracting any girls :rofl:

Looks like I'll be saving up for a JZ swap then. I don't really have anything against the 7M, I just want an engine that would be more reliable and not always have that "I really hope I don't get BHG" on my mind constantly. My MKIII is my dd, btw

That's definitely something I'll have to keep in mind. My main concern with that idea is the shipping from CA to IL. Right now my 7M is running pretty well, like I said I'd probably swap if my HG takes a shit on me. Thanks very much In the mean time, is there any way that I can check to see...

I don't mean to "jack" this thread, and I'm sorry if it seems like I did, but I have a very similar question. My engine was rebuilt by the previous owner (I don't know if he/she did it him/herself or got it done professionally), I also don't know if it has an OEM HG or MHG. If my engine takes...

don't forget that you need deep pockets too >.<

dude, who cares about what your buddy says. if it's your car, do what you want with it and don't let anybody tell you otherwise. btw, how bad is the flooding (if any) out by you?

Anyone going this Sunday? Great Lakes Drag, gates open at 9 am, spectator admission is $18 (I think), to race its like $45 and up Here's a link: http://www.greatlakesdragaway.com/index.php?page=importwars So yeah, if the weather is nice I'm going to try to make it up there

I think I found the problem. There is a a wire disconnected from a (brown I think) clip that's attached to the therm. I'll try to get a picture of what I'm talking about up later for clarification

First off I want to get my 7M running properly, replace gaskets in the exhaust system to get rid of the nasty exhaust smell I get in the car sometimes, fix my water temp gauge, touch up the paint so that it doesn't look scratched up. That's short term, and realistic at this point. Future...

I imagine I would have to run a piggyback or standalone to be able to do this. If I were to adapt my system to be able to use E85, would my car still be able to run on regular pump gas?

Please correct me if I'm wrong about this (and most likely I am), I thought that a car could only use E85 if it were manufactured to run on it.

Didn't know, sorry. Do I need to replace the gauge or is there a loose/bad connection somewhere or ... ? I don't know anything about the electrical aspects of my engine, but I'm learning as I go and want to learn more. Any insight would be helpful :icon_bigg Thanks

If that's the case I'll just replace the vacuum hose. I might have done that installing my CAI

Haha, funny that this should come up. That's what I have for my intake, finally did it a few days ago. 45 degree bent 3" aluminum IC piping cut to fit from my TB to accordion hose, that hooked to the AFM with a 3" inlet AEM 5" dryflow filter. (hope you were able to follow that easily enough) I...

I just noticed the other day that my water temp gauge was not reading at all, the needle just sits there. I've been wondering if the gauge is broken, if there is something wrong with my thermostat, if I have a bad connection somewhere, etc. Can anyone help me? BTW, I have done searches on...
