Years ago when I swapped in my GTE motor I decided that I did not need AC. I never installed the compressor on the GTE engine and removed it from the bay after the GE was taken out. Years later I am tired of sweating everytime I take the supra out in the summer (the summer is 10/12 months here...

I just swapped my differential out to a 3.73 LSD. I guess this is sort of a feeler thread, but I did not think it was appropriate for the for sale thread. Is it worth selling the 4.30 differential locally or would nobody want it? Wasn't sure if there is a demand for this differential so I...

I am putting the last touches on my gte rebuild. I am trying to figure out where the following connection goes: The wire circled in the picture is one of the two wires that comes off of the positive terminal for the battery. One of the connectors hooks up to the starter, but I can't...

I am doing a rebuild on a stock 7mgte. It only had 10k miles when it spun a bearing. The pistons in it are 20 over NPR stock replacement pistons. Any idea where I can find some decent 20 over rings? I couldn't find NPR rings to save my life so I ordered an ITM engine components ring set from...

So I just received my 6m remanufactured crank in the mail. The crank was supposed to have been sent with ACL or clevite bearings. While they did send ACL thrust washers, the rod bearings are "ITM engine components" and the main bearings are .50mm over federal mogul bearings. Just making sure...

Well I just found out my gte spun the number 3 bearing. Here comes a rebuild...........awesome. Hoping that the crank isn't so bad that a machine shop can't fix it. Any ideas why this happened?

I am currently in the process of removing my 7mgte. I have everything disconnected and borrowed a 1 ton harbor freight (pittsburg brand?) lift from my dad which he used to swap a rebuilt engine into a rav 4. Worked great for him, not so much for me. The boom doesn't seem to be long enough. When...

A little backstory. I recently installed a new clutch and had been driving her easy in order to break the clutch in. Finally reached 1000 miles on the clutch and did a few pulls yesterday to dial in the GCC. Well, after a few pulls I started hearing a faint knocking. So I took a few videos. It...

Yes, I know what you're all thinking...rodknock. But hear me out... So a little background on the car. It's a 1989 with a swapped in/rebuilt 7mgte. Mods include full 3 inch exhaust with open divorced downpipe, AFPR, walbro fuel pump, FCON with GCC and VPC AND a ebc. The clutch started...

I am currently in the hiring process for a few police departments around the state. I received a call today from one of my top departments informing me that they were going to be visiting my house for an interview monday morning. The department I am referring to is some 4.5-5 hours away. I have...

I put a starter on my car from my old 89 GE and I am having trouble putting the rear knock sensor back on. I have not screwed it all the way in before trying to plug it in, but I am not sure the plug will fit. It's a very tight fit. Does the rear sensor HAVE to go in that hole or can I screw...

I need to get a leaky rear main replaced and also a new clutch installed. The quotes I am getting for the labor are all over the board. I had one place quote me 400 and one 700. Any advice on shops you all have used in the past and had good experience? I am located in milledgeville, but can...

My rebuilt 7mgte has about 620 miles on it or so now. I took it on a two hour trip recently and when I arrived let it cool down then shut it off. Went to start it back and it wouldn't crank at all. I could hear a relay or something clicking that sounded like it was near the ECU. I went inside...

So I am on a freshly rebuilt GTE. I had the block machined, head rebuilt, crank polished, etc. Did it all...Last night while driving I thought I heard some VERY slight knocking from 2k-3k rpms. Heard it twice among 15 accelerations or so. I cannot hear it in 3rd-5th gear. Barely in 2nd...The oil...

After swapping in my rebuilt 7mgte, my lower radiator hose is rubbing against the power steering pulley. Any advice for how to fix this without rigging it with zip ties? Thanks

Finished getting the engine in and hooking everything up tonight. We started by pulling the EFI fuse to build up oil pressure since it was a fresh engine. It turned over strong and built up pressure fine. We put the EFI fuse back in...same thing. Went to crank it and it just turned over and...

I am putting the final touches on my gte swap. I got to the u2 sensor and it's a round 3 wire type. However, the store could only find a one wire plug for the 89 supra turbo. Any suggestions?

I am doing the last few touches on my gte before we swap it in today. I got one of the vsv's hooked up, but my question is about the other one. It's the one that sits about the vacuum tank on the n/a. My hard line that the vsv's get the vacuum from only has one nipple like the setup on the n/a...
