    WOW! Oil pump bargain!

    PS- The Advance auto price is $188 I think, they list it as a discontinued/ clearance item, so I'm not sure how much of a savings that is over the other parts stores. Its listed as Sealed Power brand, but the one I got from them was Actual Aisin with the word Toyota printed into the metal.

    WOW! Oil pump bargain!

    I was looking up prices on Rockauto.com, and just for giggles, I priced a new oil pump for the 7mgte. Part# 15100-42021 $103.79 ???!!! It's actually $15 cheaper than the non-turbo pump!!! What the Hey-Hey?? The listing says it's Aisin, too. I'm kicking myself, because I just 'thought'...

    Led gauge conversion

    Got it. Thanks RazoE. PS- If I want a white-white color, do I select natural white or cool white? I'm not looking for a really blue-ish white.

    Led gauge conversion

    I'm still a bit confused on which version of 194's/ 74's you guys are talking about: these? or these? or these? or maybe these? perhaps these? or these? or lastly(I HOPE)- these? Please lemme know which ones you guys have used, and how to avoid hotspots/...

    fuel pump question

    I believe that the relay will get power during cranking and for a second or two after. But if the car does not start, the power to the pump drops off.(JetJock can tell you for sure) I would say that if you're sure the current pump is bad (which it does sound like), replace it, then see if all...

    Mesh in the front bumper = sin to the supra god?

    I'm not opposed to grill mesh, but it needs to be an automotive product, not that Home Depot crap made to keep chickens in. preferably a black-chrome style finish so its weather-resistant, and slightly subdued.

    Corner 8 Sport suspension??

    Um. I don't really get what you were trying to say- Do you like the H&R/ Tokico setup or was it too stiff? Or do you like the C8 or is that one too stiff??

    Idling problems after startup when engine has warmed up.

    Failure14- I'm not sure, but I think he was trying to say that his idle fluctuated as much as 200-400rpm. And Young gun was probably referring to the TPS. You can test your TPS, as per the TSRM. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=FI&P=100

    Kevin's 7M low hp build

    To get the retainers and valve locks in, some people use the pvc pipe method; That is, you get a piece of pvc pipe that's roughly as large in diameter as the retainer, and you cut a window in the side so you can press down on the spring/ retainer, and then reach the locks to push them into...

    Prosport gauge install.

    I have an Autometer, and as a BIC said, mine sits at 2psi with the engine off. So I know that my boost is actually a bit lower, and my vac is actually a bit higher, than indicated.

    i have low oil pressure in my 7mge!!!!!!

    1. Make sure that your rod and main bearings are within tolerances, and not loose tolerances. 2. You say it's a 7mge, and not a 7mgte, so no oil squirter bolts to worry about. 3. Replace your oil pump. I suggest a 7mgte oil pump- it's a higher capacity unit than the NA. 4. You can also buy a...

    Dimmer switch compatability:

    Re-pin was just as discussed. It took literally 2 minutes to swap the pins, and the dimmer works perfectly. What wasn't mentioned is which pin is #1,2,3 and 4. Looking at the harness plug open end with the plug's lock 'latch' on top, they are: 1 2 3 4 Easy swap, thanks guys.

    Hella H4 or E codes?

    True- E code means ECE approved, which is for the other side of the pond.

    Hella H4 or E codes?

    The E-codes use H-4 bulbs, so they can actually be one in the same. The E-code housing provides the proper(and legal) light pattern for the US. http://www.classicgarage.com/hel20rech4he.html But I went cheap, and bought these: http://store.classicgarage.com/withbulbshield.html They're still...
