    EGR delete, yes or no?

    Never delete the EGR as it serves more then just emissions. There was an independent testing showing that the small gain of power wasn't worth the early detentions and fine tuning without the egr. This was done on a 4g63t... I know not the same motor, but something of a myth. You don't gain...

    got head back from machine shop with notch in it

    I would have the shop weld it and resurface... if not a new head should be in place. This is so close to the bored that with heat, stress,vibration can cause stress cracks and lead to some problems. A good possibility don't you think as this hole is a gap (air bubble)... and aluminum expands...

    Nippon NPR pistons.

    I have searched with no true answer to my question but those mk3 owners like myself on a budget, anything cheap sounds good. My block has 170k and I'm thinking about just new rings, but if NPR's are this cheap I would go over bore. Problem is that being an ex-dsm owner and knowing for a fact...

    WTF is up with all the MKIIIs getting stolen lately!?!?

    a 1JZ swap site

    es this would be nice. I just toasted my 7m and thinking about going the 1jz route. The list of parts and items would be great info for those doer's. Anyways I'm fairly new to supra, but if I have a 91 supra turbo targa, that means I have the r153 or r154 trans right? Not the W58? Don't...

    560cc injectors

    It is said that the EVO 8 and 9 injector ratings aren't accurate. At 35-40psi FP they flow close to 580cc or 600cc if I remember. They are a common cheap replacement in the DSM world but when compensating with a chip, most had to raise the cc programed by at least 10%-15%. I could be wrong...

    Best oil for the 7mgte

    Thanks for the fast reply. I know the best way to solve a problem is to trace it down and fix it. I'm not worried much about the smoking or knocking, but rather if I'm using the appropriate oil and weight. I heard good things about WIX filters but where I'm from no one stocks them. I'm happy...

    Anyone running a aftermarket chip/control module?

    Sorry to be bursting any ones bubbles, but with my experience... its a waste of money on those "tuner" parts. Get standalone with wideband. Endless possibilities in tuning. There are other routes but that also depends on your attentions of using the vehicle.
