    should i cut my springs???

    No need to cut the springs. Get a strut compressor and coil compressor. There is two different tool from vatozone. Do it right with the right tools. PS. cutting the spring isn't recommanded, as most factory and other springs are cold wound. Any heat addressed to them will surely throw...

    are these any good

    CRAP brazilian or chinese made. Pay 1000.00+ for the real deal or 300.00 for crap. There is a reason the price reflect the quality.

    Engine removal...gustimate

    well going ahead with it I got my motor out with the tranny. Looked very scary all the way up there.... but it was no problem on the hoist. This hoist has seen MANY 4cyc, but never a straight 6 with tranny. It came out good. Now... pulling the tranny revealed that the previous clutch job my...

    This is why you don't use AU green coolant in your 7M

    Remember not intended for those with brass radiators or heatercore. I used the zyrex stuff with distilled water. I have a GMB waterpump... impeller is metal. Sorry for many inconvenience. Looks like the shop has the run around you.

    This is why you don't use AU green coolant in your 7M

    How can you order a used pump? And how would you know they didn't put that pump in there as it is? Maybe typos? A little Excessive as the car didn't even ran?

    This is why you don't use AU green coolant in your 7M

    http://www.aa1car.com/library/2004/us120426.htm READ for those who are running brass/copper heater cores and radiators. There is also one thing that worries me, is that this OAT (organic acid tech) eats through paper with time. There is a problem ( alot of GM's with Dex-cool) having car...

    Help please!!! I failed smog...

    seafoam is a good way of clean up some sludge and carbon build up. Use it through the vacuum only. Don't use it in the oil system as It can reveal leaks ( good if you want to replace the leaks or bad if it becomes major) Also do a boost leak tester and make sure there isn't any potential...

    License Plate in front of IC

    Take the plate off. GO out to the woods and take a shotgun to it. Make speed holes. Seriously if you stillhave the under splash guard intact, then you shouldn't be worried at 10psi or even 12psi. The surface area of a stock 7mgte intercooler is more then most side mount intercoolers and...

    Noob Trying To Rebuild!.....7mgte

    You need a stock DD. Not a 2G 4g63 as it is prone to crank walk. You will find out that 4G63 are money pits as a supra. Turbo cars all are. I know plentiful about 4g63 as I have owned 5 of them previously and tuned them all. Put that 1 grand towards the 7m and be patience.

    What you are noticing is condensation. Clean your PCV system as it might be plugged up with sludge. Worst case is yes.. BHG.

    Help please!!! I failed smog...

    Did you let your car sit there in their lot for sometime? Looks like the cat wasn't hot enough? With high NOx and CO.. that usually means a faulty cat or oxygen sensor. High NOx usually leads to advance timing, coolant temp hot, faulty (plugged) EGR. At cruising speed 25mph, your nox is...

    350 whp, tune?

    True.. he did make over 400 on 440cc (even though this is a 7M discussion). I don't doubt that at all, but pushing duty cycle and fine tuning the global setting is an itch. On a 7m you can well pull 350whp on 440's... buts that's already pushing over 80% duty cycle... so the injector might not...

    2mm Stopper MHG Too Thick?

    Only thing is that You are reusing or didn't do a proper torque procedure. Never reuse any headgasket. Many have succeed, but rule of the thumb is once its crushed down... thats it. There something else wrong.

    Titan HG?? good or bad?

    NIce. Thanks guys. Titan is very reasonable in price, thus the reason to seek more personal questions and answers ( just in case price reflect quality). I just don't want to have to redo the HG because I skimp out on the OG HKS. I used cometic before on my 4g63 and didn't like it at all...
