    Cleaning out the engine to replace radiator?

    I'd get a good quality radiator flush fluid and run it through the system with the old radiator. Drain that, run it again with fresh coolant, drain, replace radiator, then you should be good to go. Most of that looks like residue from non distilled water, and mostly water, being used in the...

    not impressed...

    350-400 will be PLENTY for your car. If not, it's not a huge deal to go to a T4 setup, assuming you already have the internals to withstand it.

    Stock ECU capabilities?

    Alright so I will soon begin building my 7M and I'm planning to make around 500HP. Basically I'm curious as to what I can do with the stock ECU. Is it capable of being tuned? should I go with something like megasquirt? Or a complete EMS like an AEM setup? I'm confused as to which direction to...

    Build up 7MGTE or go 1JZ?

    Now, I'm sure there have been numerous threads on this before, but I just can't decide. I pulled my 7M out of my MK3 a while back and just finally got around to tearing it down. I was originally planning on just freshening it up. New gaskets, new rings, you know, just to get it running reliably...

    Egr delete/block off plate

    I actually just bought the EGR block off kit from Driftmotion. you have to remove the EGR cooler on the back of the head and bolt one of the plates on the two farthest holes to the right, which covers the small hole where the exhaust gasses come out. The hole on the left doesnt matter because it...

    Cold start injector delete

    ahh see i misunderstood the term 'cold start injector.' It completely flew over my head for some reason haha. but either way, I really dont know much about these early EFI engines. I'm better with newer stuff. how does the injector actually work, is it like a normal fuel injector with a simple...

    Cold start injector delete

    Alright guys, I've search high and low on Google, SM, and SF. I'm looking to delete my cold start injector. I live in south Louisiana and it doesnt get colder that about 45 during the winter, so there's really no use in having it. Plus I think it was staying stuck open, because when I pulled my...

    Small oil leak from under the crank pulley

    Oil in the PCV system is normal. PCV is Positive Crankcase Ventilation. It takes the small amount of blowby gases from the combustion cycle from the crankcase, up through the head and into the intake. In this process it picks up some oil vapors which are deposited into the intake as well. So it...

    intercooler

    lol im sorry but this is kinda funny. but to be helpful, without the intercooler, the turbo is just pushing air straight out into the atmosphere, then the intake is just sucking in air at atmospheric pressure, so its seeing a crap ton of air coming in before the turbo through the afm, but its...

    Carbon build up/ black exhaust

    I would definitely check out the cold start injector. That was the problem with my old 7m. I just eliminated it since i don't need it where I live
