    more cooling needed.

    Ditch the E fans, go to the stock 10 blade clutch setup with shroud. Do you have the undertray on the car?

    7mgte stock rebuild-sort of

    I would get the turbo upgraded to a 57 trim when you get it rebuilt. Definitely go OEM on all gaskets and seals. I used Driftmotion's kit for the studs, worked well.

    ct-26 removal

    After you get the elbow and downpipe off you should have plenty of room to reach down from the back with a 14mm wrench to get the bottom two nuts off the turbo flange. I've had to pull the turbo multiple times, I've found it's easiest to leave the oil lines attached to the turbo and just unbolt...

    running lean but fluctuates after shifts

    Is the bov vented to atmosphere? That will cause it to bounce rich and then lean while shifting. Mid 13s under boost is dangerously lean. Are the injectors stock? Make sure it has the stock AFM housing and not swapped for a lexus AFM.

    7MGTE Rattling and slight smoke at idle

    Sounds pretty gnarly. I would pull the cam covers off and inspect the valvetrain first. Does it still have good oil pressure? Any metal flakes in the oil? Nothing caught in the fan? Pull the clutch inspection plate and make sure the flywheel isn't falling off.

    7MGTE oil pressure

    My 7M makes about 10 psi at hot idle and about 35 on the highway. This is using 5w-30 synthetic. Oil pump has been shimmed 5mm. Basically between the low pressure and all the rod knocked 7M's I see, I worry about it. Is this pressure normal?

    Need 7M Guru's! Having 7M Heating Issues

    The lower radiator hose is cooler than the top because the radiator is working properly. I would replace the thermostat, radiator cap, and all the coolant hoses. If any hose has a small leak the cooling system won't pull coolant back from the overflow and you'll end up with a heater core full of...

    Is fuel cut dangerous?

    The ECU shuts off the injectors with the throttle closed under engine braking. Running lean right when fuel cut happened is what worried me, now I know that's not the case.
