    Race Ready 7M

    Well... I need to be careful, as the car likes to go or stop, so no more tailgating. It's not that nice DD anymore.

    Well... I can't say for sure it was FOD from the FIPG. Here it is:

    Race Ready 7M

    411/383 w/a 50 trim CT26 on a day when the OAT was 86 causing heat soak rapidly, with the stock intercooler. Time to upgrade the intercooler... Nice fat torque curve though!

    Pics will have to wait one more day that prove FIPG was used on the CHRA oil feed and return lines flange gasket, obstructing the opening and perhaps causing FOD to the bearing.

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Started in on the CT26 rebuild. I wrestled with the soft line kit much longer than I ever did on the stock hard lines! I need to know how to get the soft line kit to function properly! I tried tightening up the fittings before hand, but that meant it wouldn't line up properly. What's the...

    Race Ready 7M

    O.K. I wrestled with the soft line kit longer than I ever have with the stock lines! I hope they perform better than stock... Also, there was FIPG on the stock oil feed and drain line gasket! Again, Aaron said it is not good to do that as some of the FIPG could get into the bearing. I'll be...

    Race Ready 7M

    Saturday, I'll start the turbo swap. The turbo has a 50 trim wheel, according to Aaron. I told him about the grit... and he suggested I send it back, but I'm putting it in anyway, as I'm satisfied I got all of it out.

    Race Ready 7M

    I got the rebuilt Driftmotion CT26... :) It needed to have its CHRA cleaned before I could put it on the car. :( There was some grit around the bearing. I cleaned it out with tiny toothbrush. Also I noticed some corrosion in the oil passage in the CHRA, so I cleaned that out too. In the process...

    1300 Kg Track SUPRA project

    Personally; I've had two 7M's over the years. I wear them out racing and driving them. I put enough wear on my engine each race weekend to equal a years worth of wear. I get oil analysis and it tells me I need to change the AmsOil 20/50 after each race weekend. This sport places a lot of stress...

    1300 Kg Track SUPRA project

    Toyota made great strides from the 7M when they went 2JZ. It is well known to have some valve guide seal leaks in stock form... That's all I can recall on the negative side of the ledger. The 7M I had built, has run for five years w/o issues until I hooked up the RX7 oil cooler that blocked cool...

    Due to the wear on the plate over the past four years, the torque plate is no longer available. I apologize for any inconvenience with regard to UR build. Van
