My Build Thread Matrix... Red AND Blue Pill

[Bruno Molly]

Ok.. I will have a Couple of Build Threads. a RED 89 7Mge NA that we are trying to get cranked to use as a DD.
The Blue 89 7m-GTE will also be on here which I have posted some pics but not as a Build thread...
here's fotos of both.

Blue Pill: Before the engine Failure...

1st day, sanding and prep.

3rd Day, SPRAY Day!

Cut and Rub day...

THEN...The Inevitable Happens!!

The RED PILL: Newly acquired and rescued from the Scrapper....FREE SUPRA!

VANDALS!! Thanks!!! It pissed the owner of the shop off enough to say "Take it! Tire of looking at it!"

Its all vacuumed out now and cleaned. I will post some pics of the engine area (not pretty) later.
....the Begining of something great.

Had to have been someone that knew that the car would be built into something that could beat their Honda Civic....lmao

ok..Red Pill Supra...installed a replacement passenger window since the old one was smashed. Done, adjusted, works fine with no rattling. At first it looked like a Pain in the a$$ but it wasn't that difficult. I am puzzled by one thing... What does this plug connect to or do? Is it a service plug or something?

whoa, wtf is that thing? That shit ain't stock.

RED Pill Supra Update: Today, 3/30/2010, manged to get the engine started and it ran Great! Sounded Great! However the Crankshaft pulley isn't turning and it is wobbling like a piece of clay pottery.
Didn 't have my gear puller to remove it....But today all I wanted to kno was the condition of the motor. Hopefully the pulley hasn't damaged the crank by wollowing on the crank. At least its not so worn that I could pull it off by hand because i tried my damndest to get it off and couldn't. Even prying with 2 screwdrivers didn't get it loose. Tomorrow is another day.

Here is the same plug from a picture of my car before I started my build. Don't quote me on this but I an pretty sure that it is a diagnostic port and there are multiple references in the tsrm to jumping pens on it to enter closed loop and setting timing???
As you can see there was nothing connected to it when I started Hope this helps.

the diagnositc port it the black box with the cover that i think says diagnostics on it..

It looks like you still have your diagnostic port... It should be the grey box just to the left of that plug.

IIRC my 7m had that plug unattended as well. I had no clue what it was, but it seemed to have no issues. Regardless, it still looks like you have the diagnostics, which should be hardwired in anyways...

ok..thanks. Was hoping that was a quick and dirty Gateway to quick push button under the hood crank over. Oh well I'll trace it out later. thanks for the insight.

and here is a pic I found in Kai's thread (satans little helper) where you can see what's missing:

Ok...yeah I see his is a 7MGTE, My Red Pill is a 7MGE. I have the distributor and not the CPS. I wonder if it can be converted?
