    zero compression on all 6 cylinders

    I'm not new to assembling the 7mgte, but I can't figure this one out. Sometimes I do stupid mistakes and then it dawns on me but here is what I have. I took the head off the motor to install BC springs, retainers and 272 cams. I reinstalled the head with my HKS stopper headgasket with copper...

    Smaller alternator

    I was able to shave a few things down and i got the stock alternator to fit. Problem is that the fit is so tight, I have no room to tighten the belt by pushing the alternator out. Has anyone added an idler pulley to their alternator belt?

    Smaller alternator

    I'm in the process of doing some custom work around the alternator. For the record I can get the stock altenator to fit but not in an ideal way. I want more clearance in the back. Does anyone know of an alterntor that is not as deep as the stock one? Every millimeter counts. I see there are...

    AEM Tuning.

    I'm back with another AEM EMS question. I took care of all my old issues and things are pretty good. Now, I have an idle issue. Every 3-4 days my idle will decide to change. I set the idle curve were I want it. All its good for awhile. Then all of a sudden the idle will jump up to 1500rpm. So I...

    AEM Tuning.

    In the past I did my own tuning using a SAFC2 and AVC-R boost controller. Very easy to learn and use. Got my AEM EMS 30-1130 a few weeks ago. Tuned at HPlogic for 18psi pump gas. I was still using the AVC-R for boost. Last week AVC-R that I've been running for 10 years dies. Now I want AEM...

    Dashpot mod: to solve engine stalling when venting BOV to atmosphere

    Does this issue become obsolete when running AEM EMS with a map? I had the dieing problem when i was using the AFM and it still dies sometimes now that I'm on the EMS. Dennis

    AEM EMS Base map for a 7mgte

    Doesn't the AEM Pro come with the base maps? I installed my AEM EMS over the weekend and by no means am I an expert, but look under the AEM PRO/Toyota directory for 30-1130. Dennis

    AEM EMS idle problem for beginner

    I have the AEM EMS 30-1130 installed on 7mgte with AEM PRO version 3.23.9.189. I set up the throttle and timing. I have added that I am using a AEM 3.5 bar manifold pressure sensor and RC 550 3ohm injectors. You can see my other mods in my signature. I have removed the MAF since I installed the...

    R154 pops out of first gear

    UPDATE! So today I pulled the R154. It wasn't too hard except for the bolt right above the starter. That bolt took me about an hour. So here it is on my garage floor.... Disassemble the shifter support... Remove the bell housing... Remove all the acessories (sensors, torque nuts...

    R154 pops out of first gear

    How difficult is it to replace the thrust washer and plate and to inspect the other parts? Does a rebuilt kit include these parts? I have heard of the upgraded thrust washer. Dennis

    R154 pops out of first gear

    From a dead stop, I put the transmission in first gear. 50% of the time it pops out of gear as soon as the clutch touches the flywheel. I re-shift into first and 50% chance of it slipping out again. I always get going after 1-3 attempts. Pain in the ass at red lights. If i put the car in...

    Anyone know where Tubbie's been?

    I've also been trying to reach him for the past few weeks. I ordered some parts and the main thing I needed was missing. I've ordered from him before and I know he is an honest seller. I'm sure its an honest mistake. Just like to hear from him soon to correct my issue.

    blower fan electrical diagrams

    I made a post before about my blower fan not working. So far I have replaced the fan motor, resistor, relays, and a/c controls with no luck. After we went over the whole system testing for power, the fan relay is not getting any power. The system works if i power the relay with a wire. Were is...
