    Code 51, hypothetically assume all other systems (tps, etc.) are in good working order. Can NOT having the a/c compressor connected trip this code?

    My A/C compressor is no longer installed, so I am just trying to eliminate any oddball items I might be missing. But if this can trigger a code 51, how do you go about addressing that? Once this question is answered I can continue on with the root cause of this code, but for right now I would...

    Can someone please just tell me the simple answer of what the wire gauge size is for the engine harness wires? Also, TXL or GXL?

    I've looked far and wide for our specific engine and I'm just finding everything that I am not looking for. I'm looking to buy fresh wire to build a new engine harness, possibly from Wire Barn, who sells both TXL or GXL type wire. Before I buy a bunch of wire I just want to make sure I am...

    Anyone try any of the radiator caps with temperature gauges on them?

    Similar to this one? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F141819193221 I was considering the Mishimoto one from driftmotion but the pressure is too high for our cars (19psi). I really love the idea of having a temp gauge under the hood and in the...

    Differences in coolant temp sensors for ecu between pre-89 and post-89 7Ms?

    Right now I have a post-89 connector on my pre-89 GTE harness, with the proper sensor. I'm trying to figure out if I should swap it back to the old setup. Nothing seemed to operate improperly when I ran it this way, but I just wanna know if there are different resistance values that I should...

    Have you ever had pulley alignment issues when replacing the a/c compressor?

    So it's quite odd and pretty unfortunate because I have had this thing for a while now, and it doesn't even fit. I bought this a while ago, a reman off of ebay. I'm almost done building my motor again, and after bolting this up I noticed the pulley on the compressor is about a half inch too...

    Coolant outlet pipe on the back of the head...

    Are any of you familiar with removing this? I bought replacements from Driftmotion. But upon cracking the pipe lose I'm noticing that it is super stiff, like nerve-racking, I'm taking the threads with it, stiff and I'm a little worried. I'm soaking it with PB Blaster and I'm tempted to put an...

    Toyota Head Gasket Limitations?

    I have a couple questions. First, with the minor pitting in the block, it seems to be that a composite gasket is the way to go, preferably a Toyota gasket. I’m OK with this if I have to. I will be using ARP head studs to go with it, so I’m covered there. The issue I am having is my power...

    7M cylinder head opinions needed, please

    I'm currently in the market for a cylinder for my mildly built 7MGTE shortblock. I have a few different routes I can go, so I wanted to know what you guys thought. The first option is I can have a local head shop rebuild me one for about $700 out the door. I can snag one off ebay for about...

    Hello everyone. It sure has been a while but I need your input here on the dilemma I'm facing. I just received my assembled short block from the machine shop a few days ago. Upon finally getting the motor on the engine stand, I noticed a few things regarding the head gasket surface of the...

    Looking for thread pitch needed to helicoil the transmission mount bracket bolt holes

    My car was squeaking a lot recently, and I finally decided to throw it up on a buddy's lift and see what the hell is going on. And so I notice that my transmission mounting bracket is cocked and two of the bolts are just hanging there. There's another one stripped as well. So all in all...

    Looking to rewire charging system and the fuse box, any setups available for ideas?

    I searched all over, but I remember seeing a few posts about upgrading the wires. I'm getting a significant amount of voltage drop from the alternator to the battery due to either loose wires or corroded wires. So, while I'm in there I would like to replace as many wires as I can. I just want...

    Safc 2 tuning question 87T 7M

    OK, so here is my concern. I have had my supra tuned on a dyno a while back. I have an safc 2, aem wideband, and all other supporting mods to properly be running. So, I just realized that my throttle percentage points are at the default of 10% LO and and 50% HI. Which means it was tuned at...
