    R154 shifter is it still good to use

    I don't believe so. The housing bolt spacings look different from pictures. The shifter itself is the same between the two, though.

    R154 shifter is it still good to use

    Nope, they're part of the housing and not serviceable (through Toyota). You'll need the entire upper shifter housing. You'll also need the 6 bushings, and the large gasket underneath- none of which are cheap. IMO, you'd do well to search the classifieds for a broken R154 that has a good upper...

    R154 shifter is it still good to use

    That doesn't look like it was designed for the Supra. Looks more like a Honda style shifter to me. I'd recommend grabbing a used OEM shift lever. How are the guide studs in the shifter housing? Looks like one has taken a beating.

    The diamond in the rough. 1991 blue metallic turbo targa restoration

    Main thing I'd check about the shifting stuff- transmission linkage adjustment- if it thinks you're partially in neutral, or if the linkage is being pushed into neutral as you drive, this might the result. Next time it acts up (if it does it again) turn it off, but don't touch the shifter. Try...

    Anyone using a soild copper gasket between their turbo to oil return flange?

    I think that drain flange was a -10, but it could very well be a -8. It's a depth of field optical effect. I have a BB turbo and can get away with the drain size of *gasp* -6AN. (feed is restricted through a .016" orifice per Comp) It barely any oil moves through that turbo. As for the flange...

    Anyone using a soild copper gasket between their turbo to oil return flange?

    I use 3 types of gaskets for turbo drains. Fiber gasket is my most preferred since they are generally pretty easy to get, as well as not being susceptible to the heat like rubber. Inset rubber O-rings are also pretty legit, since the flange shields the o-ring from most of the heat. Lastly...

    Suspension

    Once the struts and springs are installed, get a quality alignment. The adjustments may be seized, but if the car has always been in Cali, you may luck out. Make sure the shop that does the alignment is the best shop you can find. A meh alignment and a great alignment can make a huge difference.

    Rebuilt 7MGTE revving problem

    Standard diagnostic checks are in order. Check for codes in the computer- connect terminals E1 and TE1 in the diagnostics connector and watch the CEL flashes- they will count out flash codes. Refer to your repair manual for what they mean and how to understand them. Check cam timing, do a...

    base map 2j on 7m?

    I'd use whatever 2J map data you have, as it'll be closer than a 7M map. If you have nothing aside from 7M stuff, you can try to start with it, but just be careful to go over everything before running boost.

    base map 2j on 7m?

    Everything is going to be different, so you'll have to play it safe until you have the tune adjusted for the different engine. Be careful, you can melt an engine quickly if you're not!

    Missing clutch pedal backstop?

    Looks like you need a new master- the firewall cover material looks to be soaked in brake fluid. Also, the pushrod should not be disconnected like your appears. Looks like someone tried to weld it back together but failed. Get a new clutch master and it should come with everything! ninja edit...

    wiring 1zz coils to AEM EMS V1

    Pretty much. You do have to turn off the multiplex ignition option in the AEM software, though. You also have to make sure your ignition phasing is correct, depending on the way you wire it up, but that's pretty simple.

    wiring 1zz coils to AEM EMS V1

    I run the coils wasted spark without any issues up to 7800 rpm. 12v and ground are easy. IGT is the signal directly from the AEM EMS. I wire partner cylinders together to get wasted spark. IGF is unused and I use pin plugs to keep the connector watertight.

    Built 7mgte discovery!

    CT26 tops out around 300whp stock. To use higher compression, you would need a standalone to control spark. To use high compression without knock, you'd need either E85 or race gas. For 400whp, you'll need a new turbo, and don't buy it from ebay. There is so much more than that, but that's what...

    Steve's mildly out-of-control build

    At the moment it's a chassis swap. The new Maroon one is an NA, non-abs, Hardtop that'll be pretty stripped out and caged. Not sure how heavy the 4L80E will be, but I think it'll be below 3300 with me in it.

    Steve's mildly out-of-control build

    Slight direction change- I found and purchased a 1991 Hardtop shell! I don't have any space to work on it atm, but as soon as I finish the current WRX side job we're going to start some serious teardown and inspection! Only picture atm:

    Fuel tank baffle question (dual pump)

    If I were to go nuts, I'd go one of two directions. 1- Surge tank. Stock fuel pump in the tank, running at 0psi, feeding a surge tank. The pump has waaaay more than enough flow at 0psi to supply dual big pumps. The surge tank would feed my choice pressure pumps, whether they be in-tanks or...

    Fuel tank baffle question (dual pump)

    Fitting dual pumps in the tank with the stock hanger isn't impossible, but you have to be very careful in how you attach them to the hanger and how you install the unit into the tank. I have dual Stealth 340's as well, both of which fit into the stock basket. To ensure proper fuel supply to the...

    Dropping the rear subframe

    Hand de-torque the diffy bolts imo. Only use impact/power tools once its apart and you can clean the threads and lube with anti-seize. Same goes for the subframe hardware. I do live in the land of salt, though...I tend to take things very slowly.
