Somebody, and I don't remember who, told me to assume all used 7M's have a rod knock or blown head gasket. I went through three used engines, the first two, rod knock, the third, bhg. So I'm going to replace bhg and anxiously await the rod knock! I kept one of the knocking engines to rebuild in...

When I bought my car the gauge was already f'd up. The guy I bought it from said it worked perfectly before he had the timing belt and seals replaced. After he got it out of the shop it was fried. Check the wire running off the sending unit to be sure it's not jacked up but it sounds like the...

I had the same problem so I just went to a junkyard and bought an entire cluster and installed it. It took about 15 minutes. Oil pressure gauge works, now I just have a bhg.:nono:

Hey congratulations on graduating and good luck with your practice. I'm sure there have been a lot of sacrifices along the way. Go and be a success. Eskimos have aching backs too. Nice car btw, I'm envious of the road trip you get to take it on this summer. Ken

Sorry I can't view your photos because the fucking assholes in our IT department Websensed photobucket along with a bunch of other stuff! What a bunch of dicks! I'm sure your car is cool. I'll check it out at home where I have dial-up. Hopefully it won't take hours for the pics to load. Sorry...

Ok, I'll bite. What is different about the oil sending unit and why does it fry your gauge?

I'm BLUE because my Supra is sitting with a bhg:icon_cry: so my vote is kwnate

I'd like to see some pictures of the whole car if you have any.

A black 92 turbo is what I've wanted since 1992! I think it looks completely bad ass without a spoiler. NA appearance, but with monster balls. It gives it that "sleeper" appeal. And uh, by the way...is it true what they say, you know, once you go black you never go back.:naughty:

Wow! How did you ever consider parting that out? It's very nice. Are those the same wheels from your grey car? You say it needs a steering rack, is it road walking or something?

Great info, thanks!!

Yeah, after I hit the send button I decided to just buy new. Can they be picked up at any parts store or do you have to order them?

So does anybody have a set of used ARP bolts?

A guy I know who works on Toyotas said torquing over what the engine specs say will mash the gasket. I guess there are plenty of you out there to refute that. I've also noticed that most N/A's I've been around have all blown their head gaskets with over 150k miles on them. That's really not bad...

Ok, I was checking out Supra's on ebay and there is a black 88 turbo and in the description he or she says that the engine was rebuilt and has an "updated" head gasket. So my question is, are the stock head gaskets you buy from Toyota exactly the same as they were back then or have they been...

That's fucked up...funny but fucked up! I think the car is amazingly intact. I am a paramedic and worked a similar kind of accident just west of Fort Worth on I-20. It was an Impala SS, one of the big Shamu types. The car blew into a million pieces and unfortunately, so did the kids face and...

I think speedometer gearing since turbos and N/A's have different ratio differentials. That's the problem I'm having. Speedo way off after JDM transmission put in prior to me buying car.

Turbo Supras came with a different auto tranny than N/A's correct? If so, is there a code somewhere on the tranny to identify which one it is? Thanks

That's one of my favorite Celica bodystyles. I'm partial to 85 since I used to own a GT-S. Looking forward to seeing how the swap goes.
