    2jz-gte vvti power steering pump solenoid

    I am doing a 2jz-gte vvti swap into a mk3 supra. The vvti power steering pump has a solenoid attached to it (which isn't found on the non vvti's) which consists of two lines running to the engine and an electrical connection. The attached picture shows an electrical plug for the solenoid and...

    2jz Turbo oil lines

    Situation: My 2jzgte VVTi is from a front sump aristo and I am converting it to a rear sump pan using the kit from drift-motion. Problem: The turbo oil drain lines are different than the non-VVTi ones so the stock lines won't connect to my oil pan. Solution: What I'm planning on...

    HKS F-CON V Pro

    Is anyone running or heard of another 7MGTE running the HKS F-CON V PRO. I heard in 2004 that RCTS was working with HKS to develop one back then. I'll give them a call but has anyone heard of this?

    Maft-Pro or Standalone

    I'm running a 7MGTE swaped into an mk2. I have a maft-pro with speed density and boost controller but am thinking of selling it to go full standalone. My question is would you run my maft-pro piggy back already purchased or go full standalone with this setup, and what kind of standalone. My ECU...

    Garrett T04E - Install Questions

    I decided to go with a Garret T04E with my 7MGTE mk2 swap. The T04E I'm set on buying I'm just wondering what the best fit manifold would be. There's two I'm debating over one from treadstone and one from driftmotion. I think I'm going to go with the treadstone manifold. From reading other...

    USDM ECU to JDM

    I have a JDM engine running with the EGR removed. My car is a 5spd and has an automatic wiring harness. I did the necessary conversions to make the harness work but. What I want to do is order a JDM ECU. I found a good condition JDM ECU but it's from an AT. Is it okay to use the JDM AT ECU...

    Engine and exhaust steaming

    When I removed my intake manifold I didn't pre-drain the coolant and coolant leaked into the head from the intake manifold. After letting it warm up for about 20 seconds white steam starts to smoke out from underneath the exhaust manifold and out the exhaust. I want to let it run to burn it off...

    Coolant steam coming from underneath exhaust manifold (or possibly an exhaust leak?)

    After my 7mgte warms up, what I'm assuming is steam from coolant boiling comes up from underneath the exhaust manifold in the CPS area. I'm not sure how to identify it, whether it's an exhaust leak and I should replace my exhaust manifold gasket or whether it's a coolant leak. I'm assuming from...

    Oil pressure check

    How do I check my oil pressure? I have a vacuum gauge that says it works for checking oil pressure. I've read the TSRM and it's just unclear to me. I can't figure out where exactly to plug in the oil pressure gauge. Do I unscrew the oil pressure sensor that has the electric clip on the end and...

    Discouraging Rebuild

    So here are my problems: - bubbling noise from the back of the engine audible from inside the car. - white/gray smoke coming from exhaust - poor compression (however only 6 and 3 are low and bump back up after oil is added) Now I know these are symptoms of the BHG, however it all doesn't...

    Engine support missing?

    So I saw this picture that belongs to someone else on the forums: Now on my car, that brace that connects the intake manifold to the engine mount is missing. The previous owner must've removed it and not put it back. I know he removed lots of things for weight reduction but this doesn't...

    Possible oil burning

    So after fixing coolant and fuel leaks my car has a few symptoms: -Idle around 1500-1800, after the car warms up the idle doesn't drop back down. -After the car warms up, the exhaust sputters white smoke on and off. This white smoke smells to me like it's burning oil -The oil pressure...

    Gas leak

    I recently removed my intake manifold, fuel pressure regulator and the hoses that run to the fuel rail. I recently got my car started and it's leaking gas. About a drop of gas per second and it really smells. What could be causing this leak? I'm going to recheck all my fuel lines.

    ECU clicks, no check engine light

    I recently installed an auto harness onto my 7mgte. I converted the reverse lights and neutral start switch. When I turn the key the ECU clicks and nothing else happens. For some reason the harness came with a M/T ECU. Will the M/T ECU work with the auto harness? I had the positive and negative...

    Vacuum port by fuel pressure VSV

    The previous owner had this port blocked off. What should it connect to, and should it be blocked off. EGR has been removed, although I thought that wouldn't affect the fuel pressure vacuum port.

    I have a JDM harness and I'm looking to convert the M1 plug to a US supra.The plug has 22 pins. Does anyone have or know how to order a JDM TEWD? I'm looking for any information on this plug, I've checked all the US TEWD's and it isn't used in any of the US supras.

    What's this plug?

    Can anyone identify what year harness this plug is from, and if possible what each color wire is for? If I can identify what year then i can buy the appropriate TEWD. Otherwise I have to buy them all. I didn't find it in the 89 or 87 TEWD:

    Wiring troubles

    I'm installing a new wiring harness in my supra. My body is an 86 supra, and the year of the harness isn't 86. My problem is that a plug on my wiring harness doesn't connect to the plug on my body harness. Now I have a male plug that is compatible with it from my old harness. What I think I have...

    Custom oil lines

    I want to install custom oil lines on my 7M like the one's in this photo: I'm interested in the one that connects above the alternator, to the side of the valve cover. The factory hose has a aluminum joiner connecting the hose to valve cover. This is what I found from vibrant performance...
