7MGTE Oil pressure system.

Clueless idiot here

Ugh, that oil incident brings back memories. You'd think someone in my biz would keep an eye on gauges but I sure failed that night. Ran it on the highway about 8 miles sans lube. Only when it shut off did I realized something was wrong and the engine could not be turned over again until cold. Yes, I ran it another 40K miles with nothing more than a slight ticking in the valve train. If anyone is wondering the lost oil was Mobil One.

Great to see these cars are being kept alive. Although mine is long gone I enjoyed having it as a DD for nearly 25 years. Still miss it at times. Anyway, hope everyone here who remembers me is doing well. I'm retired these days and almost never stop by.

What about removing the whole 7M setup, and using the 1JZ/2JZ stock setup?. Direct fit btw, just need to add a coolant loop.

yaaa.... that will not work ... you can dream thou :nono:

Yes, but there is a massive, monumental difference between the stock system and full flow in that scenario. The stock system can take a hit to the line, spill oil and actually be perfectly functional if the pressure relief valve closes well. An aftermarket full flow in the same situation would very easily yield catastrophic engine failure because you immediately lose oil flow to the internals.

This is the key pro of the stock system I think a lot of people overlook.

umm....ummmm....I see. nope I lie, I don't know where you are going with this, they made it simple easy, cheap and it works

It won't work why?. Or are you saying I just take your word for it?
