    James' 89 Supra Turbo

    Yo before u put your intake manifold u might want to open up the water channel hole that goes to the IAC valve body and torque it a few more lbs than the book says. Mine dripped coolant from that spot and I had to do this to fix it. A real pain in the ass once the engine is installed. A lot of...

    Damn this update is past due... I have been working on the Sup though. Got so much done since the last post I had to read my own thread to see where I left off shittt. Well I pulled the engine back apart and gapped the rings to .016" top ring and .019" bottom ring (they were at .0015" before...

    Kotu's bye bye ct26 build

    On page 5 your pic that shows the Bosch bypass valve, my question is that hooked up backwards? If so, have you tried it both ways to see which way behaves better for the turbo? Just curious since I just got the same one for my ct26 60 trim. Rebuild is just about finished. Waiting on my throwout...

    Thanks Rollus. After getting some experienced advise and understanding the end gap formula, it was recommended to gap the top ring to .016" and bottom ring to .019". Where I'm at on the build all I have to pull is the exhaust manifold and head. The oil pan wasn't sealed yet so no cleaning...

    1st 7MGTE rebuild...No deadline...

    Need some input on piston ring gaps. I have je pistons 83.5mm or 0.020 over and was wondering what a good ring gap should be for 400 - 500 HP range. I plan on boosting around 15 psi and maybe 18 psi for track days. I never measured them when installing and now its been bugging me ever since. I...

    1st 7MGTE rebuild...No deadline...

    Starting to realize with this build that patience is important. After I brought the ct26 60trim upgrade I came across a Borg warner s366 for the same price. Its a t4 but hell I'm going that route eventually. Sale lasts until Monday night so still get it.

    1st 7MGTE rebuild...No deadline...

    Just ordered a ct26 60 trim upgrade from driftmotion. I figured that I was going to get it anyway so might as well get a black Friday discount. Didn't see any options for exhaust clipping, is that something I should look into. Next up is getting injectors. 550cc or 660cc. I have a Greddy Emanage...

    Thanks supraguy. Do you know if the is300 COP coils will fit the 7m with the stock intake manifold setup? Kinda want to keep my 3000 pipe after I painted it.

    Man your engine is sweet. You definitely weren't shy with the upgrades. How did the upgraded ct26 57 trim work out for you? Im going that route for a while then eventually upgrade to a T4 turbo. My goal is to join the 500 HP club someday.

    More Progress pics. There's so many that I couldnt upload but glad these were able to come through. Just waiting on some parts to arrive. Head shielding intake manifold gasket and injector o-ring kit from Driftmotion. Also getting an EGR block off plate. Trying to clean up the bay a little. I...

    Got more stuff painted. Send the head to get rebuilt with BC springs, new shims, and a 3 angle valve job. Previous owner recommended I change the head, so I found a N/A head and swapped in all the turbo head internals. Just used the casting since its never been cut. The guy I brought it from...

    Machinist didn't cut the front plate when he cut the block. It was a .025" difference. Had to send the front plate out to get cut. A 1 week setback.

    @ Supra28, Lol I know I'm not a fan of the red stripe either. And to think they molested the molding with red too. That will definitely going back pearl white or some other shade of white chrome fenders are off already too. For now its engine first though...
