    Ebay items that are not what sellers claim.

    eBay has a lot of sabotage and warfare. And wear a helmet, they also have Walmart level criminals with returns trying to get free things.

    Is swapping a 7MGE Block for a GTE block a good idea?

    Redline change is from the cam profiles. As noted, the blocks are different in terms of having oil squirters, turbo oil supply and drain, etc. The later blocks have more ribbing and a little "meatier".

    Vane Airflow meter What is wrong with this picture? This problem has existed since the website went into operation. Ebay doesn't do it, but they don't have the correct content moderation.

    Crank and no Start- Puzzled

    That is timed wrong. Timing means when the events happen. The coil fired at the wrong time. I'm glad you found it.

    SupraSport LIPP high flow elbow pics

    HKS off road down pipe, needed flex section, high flow elbow. I took the picture due to claims of HKS hanging low. It doesn't. The installation was at fault. I wasn't there, so it's hard to say what all people do.

    Crank and no Start- Puzzled

    If you have good spark, then timing is off probably to include the CPS.

    Toyota 2 stroke Engine based on the 7M-GTE 1989 Tokyo Motor Show

    They aren't used because they are under powered. The conclusions are all wrong. Almost always. Interesting, in a head tilting sort of way.

    Are the spark plugs wet or dry?

    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    Sorry about the delayed reply. I went from 98.04 in October (great weather) to 105.56 in July (shit hot and humid) with that being the only change. Stock A340E. And 1/2 second faster ET in the 1/8, so it isn't all on top either.

    Did you find a Boss unit to run?

    7M-GE compression increase?

    Changing to the later camshaft that was also used in the Cressida will increase the dynamic compression. It is why some thought they had better power with "NA cams", even though it was not a continuous run of the 7MGE. Yes, decking it raises it some. I burned a cheap gasket by doing that and...

    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    Found one. And that picture above is not it. But it is mounted on the LIPP elbow.

    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    I'm looking for a picture with the intake pipe off and not hooked to the 3000 pipe. I don't see one. I will have to say the LIPP elbow had a stud besides the oxygen sensor port studs. And it was held only in that spot. I think it is the flat spot where the red arrow is.

    Timing belt noise from inside the car

    Also, here is how your 7MGTE should sound at warm idle. This was after I replaced the pulley, belt, and spring. Hit the like and subscribe buttons.

    Timing belt noise from inside the car

    This is an older video I had on my computer. The sound is the belt bouncing off the cover. I put it on youtube just for a reference.

    Can failing igniter not throw any codes?

    You might have wire deterioration just from the age of the vehicle. And you have an intermittent failure, and the older system doesn't really see it. I haven't thought about this in quite a while. IGf can only get a code if the command (IGt) to fire is given. When the leg of the transistor is...

    Vibration over 60mph.

    The tire store also needs a road force variation machine, and knows how to use it. Too many places act like they can run their business like a McDonalds (here's looking at you Firestone) and they don't have anyone that can operate it. The short answer is the tire is rotated on the wheel to...
