Do you or does anyone else know if the Idle Air Control Valve (IAC) is the same for a Japanese and US model? My JDM one is a lot nicer looking outside and inside than the US version. I also didn't realize how hard it was to come across the little check valve in front of the IAC. Was going...

I'll be sticking with the EGR setup then. I don't have a JDM ECU and I don't feel like trying to find one. I cleaned up all my EGR pieces, so I may as well use them. I just need to figure out if my older EGR components will work on my 1990 Supra.

Thank you Sir. I figured as much; I just didn't think that I would have just sitting in my garage. Do you know if they're a good alternative if you're deleting the whole EGR setup? I'm still tossing around the idea of deleting it.

I didn't do ANY research on this, but does anyone know what the intake and manifold in the pictures go to? I cleaned the detached one then looked at this one for reference. I got it in a pile of traded parts; not sure what it's off of.

I finally found a decent exhaust for the car. A guy down in Louisville Kentucky had a Driftmotion exhaust and downpipe he was selling. He said it only had 2000 miles on it. $300 bucks seemed like a awesome deal to me. Also got a new coil pack plug to replace my crispy one for $20.

Here's a pic of the aftermarket fuel filter. I think you can see why I drug through it. Now I have to figure out how to fix it all correctly.

I read through his text message about it and be said 55. I have a feeling it's a 255 too. I'll have to check to see if that that tube is bypassed. I have to figure out my fuel filter problem as well.

I finally got the car retimed to 10 degrees, it was at 5. Started to back it down my driveway and drug through the WIX fuel filter the guy before me had put on. Had to push it back up the driveway and now there it sits. I text the dude and asked him why he put it on there. He said that the old...

I have been doing a few things to the car here and there. It had a bolt in place of the overflow nipple. I couldn't find one, so I made one. Now i just have to figure out what radiator cap to get; apparently there are two types. The one on there isn't deep enough to make a seal in the lower...

This car came with a boost leak that I knew about in the intercooler piping. The sway bar rubbed a hole in it so I did a little SolidWorks design on it to see if I could make a good fix on it. I cut a piece of pipe that would hug around the sway bar but not touch it once installed. I also...

Sorry for the late responses guys. I didn't have my notifications turned on on this thread and I didn't know I had responses. I've been working mostly on my 83 Toyota Pickup's 22R to get that running and looking nice. I've had it longer than the Supra so it gets priority. As for the roof...

The car came with a bunch of stuff that I really don't need, but I'll probably use since I've got em. Like a carbon fiber roof, stainless manifold and wastegate. The only thing that I really don't want is this steering wheel. I'm currently trying to find a stock 1990 steering wheel. I...

I'm not new, but this is my first actual Supra thread. I've been building a 7MGTE for about 15 years now and finally have something solid to put it in. I bought the car about a month ago now. It has a running engine but that goes to a buddy who is building an old Cressida. Meanwhile I'm...

Yep, it was a brass plug. I found it with a bunch of other parts. It's weird how something like that never gets brought up. Thanks for the help.

Thanks, that HAS to be what it is. The only thing weird to me is that it doesn't show up on the other blocks I have....the fact that they're caked in grease and road grime must throwing me off. As for oil squirter bolts, Driftmotion was my next stop. I was just waiting for a call back from em...

Well, after about a year of trying to figure out what to do and where to go, I've got my project back where I need it. I had everything done the way it was supposed to be and added a 2mm Cometic head gasket. Now I'm back on track. I'm working on the bottom end right now. I shimmed my new oil...

So, how'd that motor start up? Any issues with having a 3mm head gasket like we talked about?

Well good luck with the startup. Let us know how it goes. Do you have a thread on your build?

Cool, I didn't know you could get a gasket that thick and not have any problems. I'd like to keep away from the adjustable cam gears if I could. I've got enough worry making sure I have everything else set right, I'd like to stay away from another one. But if I have to, I have to. Thanks...
