I ordered this downpipe from Aaron at Driftmotion, and it didn't come with a gasket for the O2 sensor. While taking the stock elbow off, I noticed that there wasn't a gasket between the O2 sensor and the stock turbo elbow. Is the O2 sensor supposed to have a gasket, or does it just bolt...

I drained my radiator tonight, and only 1/2 gallon drained out of the radiator. Once I had it out of the car, I flushed the radiator with a hose; and I measured how much water came out, and once again I only got about 1/2 gallon out. 1/2 gallon seems like a small amount given the size of the...

Background: Last summer I swapped the GE engine in my'86.5 for a GTE engine. I left the stock auto transmission in the car. I got the car running at sometime in the fall, and noticed that the car would run hotter then normal after a cruise down the road; and would start to overheat once I...

My heater (blower) motor isn't working, so I took my glove box out to start troubleshooting; and I came across this blue plug with the wires spiced and capped off. Anyone know what this is for? It's in the left hand corner just under the ECU.

I purchased a GTE engine from a fellow forum member a while back, and he removed the EGR from the engine and installed block-off plates. While I was performing the engine swap, I didn't bother putting the EGR system back in place; as I didn't think I had all the necessary parts to reinstall it...

I swapped a GTE into my '86.5, and have been unable to get the new engine to start. After much troubleshooting, it looks like the ECU is not happy with the Igf signal it's getting back from the igniter. I received a (supposedly good) wiring harness from a member on here; but after much...

Update on post #26! I'm just finishing up my GE to GTE swap, and I'm having trouble getting the car to fire up. The engine turns over, fires a few times, but dies before it has a chance to start. After that, as long as you continue cranking the engine; the engine will crank over but not even...

I'm converting my GE/auto to a GTE/auto, but the throttle body that's on the GTE is for a stick. The GTE engine that I'm putting in, has the EGR blocked off. My understanding is that a JDM throttle body is missing a connector required for the EGR, so it doesn't work for a USDM GTE with...

I recently purchased a 7M-GTE from a forum member on here, to replace the tired 7M-GE in my '86.5. I have the engine just about ready to go in, but was wondering if I should drop the pan on the GTE and shim the oil pump before installing it in the Supra. I looked through some threads, and...

I'm upgrading from GE to GTE within the next few weeks, and I'm planning on adding extra gauges like boost, pyro, and air/fuel. My original plan was to add these three gauges in an A-pillar pod, but then my dad told me about gauges made by PLX Devices. The gauges are multi-functional OLED...

A while ago, I seen a FAQ or a sticky about what all it takes to upgrade from a 7m-ge to a 7m-gte; and now I can't find that information. I've searched on here and on supraforums.com, and I know that this has been discussed many times; but now I'm having a brain fart, and can't find the thread...

I just bought my first Supra a few weeks ago, and almost have it running. The only snag I'm running into now is this: Yesterday, I tried to start my car to discover that the engine wouldn't crank. After a bit of troubleshooting, I seems as though the neutral safety switch failed. I...

I just bought an '86.5 Supra, and when I hooked up the battery; the brake lights come on, and stay on. There is a yellow "lamp failure" box sitting in the trunk. Could that have anything to do with this problem, or do you think that I need a new brake light switch?

I bought a 1986.5 Toyota Supra (non turbo) off Ebay for $438. :) This car has 143,000 miles on it, which to my understanding; is still very little for a Supra. The car also has new z-rated directional tires on it, that have less than 3,000 miles on them. I forget the brand name, but it...
