    Dash lights/ oil guage

    It don't believe it frys them.. Running LED's below their intended voltage range will make them give off slightly different lumens. I'm by no means an expert though. However, I absolutely love the LEDs in my car. They could be a little whiter though. But thats beside the point. I don't think...

    The Madness Begins... 90 N/A-T Build

    WHAT. A. PITA. Seriously. There has got to be a better way of doing valvesprings. 3 and a half hours to do all the seals, and put the valve springs on. Only took me about 20 minutes to get the seals on... I'm so glad its over. Now I have to deal with shimming the cams though.. Pics! Head...

    7mge detonation?

    Personally, I always ran 89 octane and never had any troubles. I don't really see a reason to run 91 on a car with 9.1 compression.. Now if it was boosted, thats a completely different story.

    ARP Head Stud Washer and Turbo Drain questions

    IJ, I was asking about the size of the washers for the ARP studs. And I actually have the GTE block, so its no longer N/A-T, just a full GTE swap (including pistons). But it looks like I will need to find a 7m -10 oil drain flange. Definitely not going to hook up the factory lines, lol. I assume...

    Almost all 7Ms will have some scoring.

    ARP Head Stud Washer and Turbo Drain questions

    What size would I need? And any insight on the turbo drain?

    camshaft wear question

    Honestly, the machine shop is probably just used to small block Chevy's and doesn't know about the intricacies of a 7M. You'll be lucky to find a set without scoring. While I might regret saying this before you post pictures, I say go for it. But definitely get some pics up. Sent from my...

    Well it happened

    I have two good headlight assemblies I can part with. The paint on the covers isn't the best though. PM me if you want them

    ARP Head Stud Washer and Turbo Drain questions

    1st question, I bought a used ARP Head Stud kit, and it did not come with washers. Is it okay to run like this, or do I need some washers? Could I use factory head bolt washers? 2nd question, My original plans were to go N/A-T, but now I'm just doing a full GTE swap. Should I buy/make a...

    Rebuild on a 7M-GE

    Its really all personal preference. All the jz fans will say 7ms *can* be reliable, 7m owners say they are reliable. I still stand by the point that any car with any engine can be reliable, as long as the required maintenance is done. The 2JZ isn't gods engine. Its just as susceptible to...

    Anyone ever replace their hatch glass before?

    I've seen people use garage door opener cable too. Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk

    Rebuild on a 7M-GE

    And I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather have a forged 7M than a 100% bone stock 2JZ

    The Madness Begins... 90 N/A-T Build

    So. I found an entire 7M-GTE for 250 bucks. Thats EVERYTHING, both manifolds, turbo, head, block, everything. Including ECU and wiring harness! The machine shop is paying for the engine, plus fuel to get it, as its in Kansas. I think thats a steal..

    Whatever you do, do NOT get an oiled filter. They will kill the AFM with a quickness.

    The Madness Begins... 90 N/A-T Build

    The whole thing might be a blessing in disguise. I feel that by running the lower compression I will get more power through more boost. Plus now I don't have to mess around with Turbo feed and drain.. just have to get an fittings for Turbo feed and drain lol. The machine shop is paying for a new...

    The Madness Begins... 90 N/A-T Build

    I've heard ACLs are hard to come by.. And as for the machine shop.. They actually did a very good job for everything else. If they wouldn't have tapped that other knock sensor to the wrong thread pitch then it would have been perfect. Shit happens when you drill and tap and weld and drill and...

    The Madness Begins... 90 N/A-T Build

    Bad news. The machine shop agreed to fix the knock sensor, and replace the sensor they mangled. They heated the block, then welded it. And cracked the block. The good news is they're replacing the block, and doing all the machine work free of charge.. Maybe the next block wont need to be decked...
