    building a new 7mgte need some advice

    There is a dyno thread on supramania on people making above 700rwhp on stock block, stock pistons, stock rods, stock crank, stock head with minimal port and polish, stock cams, and stock valve train. I have by no means built a high horsepower 7m but have been researching and researching on what...

    Need advice please!..rebuild 7mgte or no?

    Well that's the key thing, was it driven hard and not taken care of? You don't know. Did you take a rod cap and main cap off and check out the bearings?

    Need advice please!..rebuild 7mgte or no?

    Well it all comes down to what you want to do, bearings, gasket kit, and MHG will set you back around 500 bucks. If your going to spend that sort of cash to rebuild your engine Id make sure you do it the right way and get the head resurfaced new valve stem seals (usually come in the gasket kit)...

    info

    You have to be more detailed on what's wrong with your car. Is it stock and blew a head? If that's the case you don't just throw a metal head gasket on, you must get the block and front timing cover machined to accommodate the thickness of the new hg. If it already has been machined put the...

    ebay afpr?

    Not only do you need a lex maf, you need bigger injectors aka 550s. Then save your money and get an aeromotive fuel pressure regulator. If you can find one that is not working the rebuild kit is like 15 bucks, that's what I did. Then get the install kit from drift motion and do it the right way...

    Want to build a reliable high power 7m

    I do appreciate everyone stepping up with advice for me, I'm trying to take everything in and make a educated decision on what I'd like to do, and how to do so. I think the biggest part of building a engine for my car is the budget, i want to have everything laid out and on paper instead of just...

    How to tell if pistons are good or bad

    This motor came out of supra stated above, and I put a new gte in it. So I have this lying around and was wondering if there is anything that can be saved or re-used. But I understand the reasoning you have about cost

    How to tell if pistons are good or bad

    Bought a 87 turbo targa that threw a rod. It threw a rod so bad there were holes in both sides of the block. I know the rods are done (obviously), and maybe the crank, but when I get the pistons out what do I look for? And I'm not positive about the crank but from what I'm told it's probably...

    Thanks everyone for all the feedback fastest car I've riden in is a zr1 corvette which makes like 700? But I'd really like to stay 7m, I'm kinda one of those people who unless the car is purpose built for racing and such, I'd like to keep the original motor it came with. This car is my daily...

Would like to run in the neighborhood from 5 to 600hp. I understand that this needs to be done correctly and no shortcuts taken and this is expensive and...

    BIC DDP and test pipe questions

    I beg to differ, the original reg reimer mod states only 550s and a lex afm. Don't think there is much tuneing capability with the stock computer. Now the only reason I'm bringing the issue up to begin with is because with the drift motion 3 inch down pipe gas mileage was fine, as soon as the...
