First off, I hope this spurs good debate. If there's objective, non-anecdotal evidence to prove me wrong I'll gladly eat crow here and edit my post to point out I'm wearing the dunce cap. I want to know the right answer more than I want to win an argument. :) Ian, the important concept with oil...

Exactly. People get very mislead with oil pressure. More pressure is generally a sign of BAD things. The more pressure indicated on your gauge, the more RESISTANCE you have to oil flow. You don't want more pressure, you want more oil flow. That means LESS pressure. Using a heavy oil to get more...

Interior doesn't look half bad! You could make some pretty dramatic before and after shots with that car just with some minor interior fixes, a paint job and complete set of wheels. Good luck and keep us in the loop on the progress!

I'm not sure I'd bother with it on a completely stock motor. The purpose is to allow more system pressure (flow) before the relief valve opens up. The stock system allows sufficient pressure, IMO. This being said, I shimmed the pump in my car right now before I installed it. :dunno: In...

OP: You clearly don't understand what you're doing and neither does your local mystery helper. I'd seek another "mentor". I'm going to predict right now that your mk3 Supra ownership is not going to end well. Hopefully you'll have a change of heart and decide to learn what the hell you're doing...

You can remove those sensors if you never start the car cold or hot, never idle, never use ac, are using a JDM ecu, are using a manual trans and never want to use your defogger. If you need a non turbo harness, perhaps you should buy one? Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

If we may know, what sensors did this mystery person say you didn't need? I bet the motor would "run" with about half the sensors removed, but it won't run completely. There aren't many extra sensors in the engine bay of a 7M with a stock ECU. Until you go EMS, you'll do at least a little bit of...

When I had a 7MGE: GTX high mileage 5-30, PureONE filter. After GE rebuild (from a BHG): Castrol Syntec (Made in Germany only) 0-30. PureONE or K&N filter. GTE: Castrol Syntec (Made in Germany) 0-30. PureONE or KN Filter. I'd also use Pennzoil Platinum 5-30 if German Castrol wasn't readily...

Where in Colorado?

I have the DM kit (AZP adapters) and have had zero problems. Fit first time really well and has never leaked.

I grew up in the fast and furious generation, but I'd say gran turismo helped get me obsessed. Never had a family member persuade me, but my dad taught me how to change oil and basic stuff. He also bought the majority of my basic tools. I loved supras, rx7s, vipers, etc as a kid. Just anything...

I was going to try and help here... but then you said you know what the sensors do, already removed EGR and admitted you're not electrically inclined. On top of that you don't want to read a 4 page PDF to learn how over 100 wires work to keep your engine running. I made my own 100% custom...

Ok, I know you said you verified mileage with some other records, but 20k miles and a worn floor mat from the heel of a shoe? One of these does not belong with the other... Anyways... post up some more pics!

Dafuq did I just see?

Wow, interesting story. Odd that it would have gotten damaged in a measly 20k miles and lose a stock wheel for another 5 spoke (Rota?). Keep us up to date on it though, that's really neat. Throw a good paint job on there, fix the body damage, find a complete set of 91-92 wheels, new brakes (and...

That's freakin awesome! Mind sharing how you came across it and/or what you paid? Assuming nobody managed to ruin the interior/exterior in that timeframe that's a pretty valuable shell if nothing else. Very neat, thanks for sharing and please post up some good pics!

Replacing a known motor with an unknown one is a bad idea. Before you put another engine in the car, have it rebuilt (or rebuild it yourself).

Nice surefire. People are always shocked when I tell them how much those things are. They don't understand why a $75 flashlight isn't "good enough". :dunno: I had a sig p239 in 40sw a while back, but have since sold it. I've been eyeing the P226 in 9mm for about a year. It just went on sale at...

One of the funniest moments I've ever had on the internet was in flashchat when Kyle (Big Wang Bandit) went crazy, left the chat room, came back two seconds later and acted like nothing had happened. Something so stupid and idiotic just struck me funny like few other things ever have. That crazy...
