I have a w58 full face that's done very well. No slipping with a 7mgte just below or at fuel cut for a few years. Competition stage 2 Kevlar.

Correction: Insulators, not Isolators. Mine were $24 each from my dealer. I'd consider that a must replace for most everyone when redoing front shocks/springs. Mine were basically trash. Completely matted down and cracked all over. One had worn through entirely in one spot. Without the...

Yeah, I suppose there's obviously a metal plate. Otherwise I'll be watching a shock piston shoot through the interior at the next big bump in the road, haha. The plate was just heavily coated in the paint/coating. The hole looked great when I installed the shock, but gave way with some torque...

Didn't get around to uploading pics but I got them tightened. I was able to use vice grips on the shocks installed and grip the non shaft part above the bump stop. Upon closer inspection the KYB mount still has a metal plate, but it looks like they use a rubberized coating or paint. I'm...

Pi, you got it. I bought new mounts. (48750 from the epc link). I bought new KYB mounts and not the OEM ones from toyota. The KYB units look identical and have the cut out, but the cut out is in rubber with no metal plate. I'll post a couple pics later tonight. Its as if the KYB design left...

Hey all. I'm installing a new set-up and have come across a major PITA. My existing rear shock mounts (appear to be Toyota OEM) had a metal plate within the shock mount to hold the shock piston in place and keep it from spinning. This allows you to tighten and loosen the top nut with ease...

When I do "wet tests" I add roughly 2 tablespoons of oil, maybe even 3. I'm not sure if 1 is enough to coat the walls reliably. A valve could cause a subtle drop in pressure like that. I wouldn't guess rings at this point since you saw little change with the wet test. Until you do a leak down...

Check page EM-95. Step 20 is the ac compressor install. That area of the tsrm will go over the install order. You can then branch out to the specific part sections as needed (ac compressor, for instance) The water line under the intake go to the throttle body. Many people (myself included) run...

I'm going to be the smart ass here in regards to the AC Compressor install: "What does the TSRM say to do?" :)

I would NEVER reuse old 90 degree hoses. They are $10 each or so from Toyota and are very easy to replace with the engine out. With the engine in, they are very difficult. 16282 and 16283: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291420/catalog.aspx?F=1603&P=2 As far as blocking the install...

I don't see block machining. For that MHG to last you'll want to take the block into a shop to get the block surface machined flat and smooth. Same goes for the head. $500-$1000 in machine work is basically a minimum for a MHG build.

You won't find anything too detailed, but between these resources you should have it figured out. Follow the removal steps in reverse: http://yotamd.com/toyota/mk3_supra/bhg.html Start at page 55 or 56: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=55 If you hit specific...

1. A couple veterans on this site will offer little to no help at times and then at other times they'll give you better assistance than you could pay for. Just gotta roll the dice and see what you get. The better your involvement and troubleshooting, the better help you will receive. 2. I'm only...

Haha, well don't leave us all hanging! How did you get them off?!

Yes. No. Any Toyota dealer will offer most parts still available. Some dealers will mark up parts like crazy. Use Champion as a reference. They show pricing online. Then call your local dealer and see how much they're screwing you over. If it's only a little, then buy local. If they're...

Does the stud spin? Or just the nut? If you can spin the stud: Lock vice grips on the stud (on end like this: <-- ) leaving room to access the nut with an open wrench. Pull back on the vise grips while un-tightening the nut. If you can spin the nut only: Careful dremel work on the base of the...

In my wiring problems on an mr2 I had I found the best diagnostic tool was a digital multimeter. You can buy one cheap at Home Depot or get a used fluke or ex tech on craigslist. Id measure current with the dmm at the battery. Then pull one fuse at a time. Record the current (likely above 200ma...

Stock rods (and pistons for that matter) should be fine for that power level unless you have some horrible detonation/tuning. Talk to some machine shops nearby and see who's familiar with 7Ms. They could probably tell you which block is in better shape. You'll want a MHG which requires...

Wow, nice truck builds! I had a 91 4x4 Pickup with 31" BFG AT's and the dreaded 3.0. Now I've got a 99 Land Cruiser with 285 AT's and a long build list ahead. Looks like you do great work and take plenty of pics. Welcome and please share your build on that white package! We could use more good...

JJ, that's awesome, thanks! I hadn't found anything even close to that price range otherwise. The sensors, however still confuse me. I was hoping to use a passive sensor, but it appears the sensor needs to be amplified and feedback an active 0-10V signal to the logger. This seems to complicate...
