    Removing egr

    Since I gotta yank the motor out again to fix a wrist pin, I figured why not remove EGR while im at it. I have no emissions where I am, so not a problem. I will buy the block off kit from..(cant remember its one of the vendors though) My main concern is the vacuum lines and any vac...

    Is it possible to pull piston/rod out with motor in car?

    Okay, thanks for all the replies, i really appreciate it guys. I will NOT try and get the internals out with it in the car. Now on to taking the engine/trans out together: I took the original engine/trans combo out and put the new one in like this but it was a PITA. 1 thing though, i didnt...

    Is it possible to pull piston/rod out with motor in car?

    Yeah I was iffy on it, I was hoping the crossmember didnt need to come out, thats the dealbreaker right there for me. Okay 1 more question then, I suppose you can get the transmission bolts off with it all in the car, would a 3ft extension work and a swivel? (im still new to Supras and...

    available bolt on turbo options.

    Turbonetics hasnt made a bolt on turbo for the 7m for many years now. (according to their Tech guy I asked) Best bang for the buck is probably the Driftmotion rebuild/upgrades.

    Is it possible to pull piston/rod out with motor in car?

    I have a bad wrist pin bushing in the #6 cyl and was curious how hard or if even possible to get the rod/piston out without pulling whole motor. I do understand new headgasket and many others would be needed, but when its all said and done I could see it saving me alot of time being able to...

    EGR questions

    I have this very faint *tick* that comes with any throttle amount (its not a knock) except at idle all is quiet. Also it is coming from the back of the head around #6. My question is this: Can a malfunctioning EGR system or component cause this tick? And if answer may be yes will EGR...

    87 Hardtop Turbo-- Hatch leaking

    Yeah, im going to buy all the surrounding trim for the hatch glass (to reseal the glass) come Feb (taxes) they are about $480 total for all for pieces, not happy about that, but seems i cannot avoid it now. Thing that gets me is it gets into the tray that covers the wiper motor, so if it was...

    87 Hardtop Turbo-- Hatch leaking

    Hi guys, having a bit of a problem here. My hatch will not quit leaking water, its the actual lift-gate itself, it gets water down inside of the area that holds the wiper motor then drips downwards into the compartment. Here is what has been replaced/sealed: a) New OEM lift-gate seal (the big...

    Article: The Toyota Common part number sticky

    Not listed up there but for the Fuel Tank, the filler neck to tank gasket is the same as the pump bracket to tank gasket. So order 2 of those if your getting them, they are dirt cheap.

    Full Gasket Set 7mgte - suggestions

    Dont buy the Cometic kit, its very, very cheap quality, does not come with all the gaskets, and then to top it off, mine came with a 4age TVIS to Head gasket and a upper timing cover gasket for the 4age. I would suggest Fel-pro or Sealed Power, they are usually very good quality. Another...

    Running E85 straight?

    Other than the pump flow and injector size, its the same materials as 99% of every other Toyota made in the Era, Supras are not so special Toyota made them of all new materials from front to back. Do you not see that relevance when it comes to talking about a fuel switch? Your right this...

    Running E85 straight?

    I understand this is a MKIII Supra community, but were talking fuels, what needs to be done to "convert" is the same for any car not built in the E85 flex fuel age. So if you would like to point out specifically how E85 in a MR2 is different than E85 in a Supra please do. Been reading up on...

    Running E85 straight?

    I see perfect relevance here to an MR2 being converted, its E85 were talking about, not like they used some super special rubber fuel lines on the Supra but used something different on the 2. Same with the fuel pump, its still Denso. I do believe people overeact alot about its corrosiveness...

    Running E85 straight?

    Pump should be fine, rubber lines too, we have a guy on the MR2 boards running a high c/r stroker 4age, he is the on stock pump and fuel lines for 4+ years now no issues. But if it was me, just to make me feel better at the end of the day, I would replace the fuel lines with some kind of -AN...

    Any info on these coilovers?

    Then what are you asking? He has given you the right answer, its a combitnation of several off the shelf parts. Its not some super rare factory JDM/German suspension kit. You have standard Bilsteins with a coil-over sleeve kit and TRD springs. Enjoy.

    Universal Fuel Control for older injection systems

    You might want to read up on the AEM F/IC on the AEM forums, LOTS of issues related to that box and controlling ignition. That IAT mod on ebay is a sure fire way to really shorten the life of your car im betting, what happens when its 90+* outside and that box is telling the ECU its like 60*? or...

    Jarco does not get Jap motors anymore, the Gov. got them pretty hard, so they only do USDM rebuilds now.

    Any tips & tricks for motor swap? bad for good motor (simple swap I would think)

    Well got some pics of the motor yesterday, Looks pretty decent inside under the valve covers, All the rubber was still soft, but Still I went ahead and put new VC gaskets (with RTV in the cam cap to head corner) and grommets on. You can see the top end looks to have atleast been in a machine...
