Well I put a new MC on when I did the swap, but I used synthetic brake fluid. I think the brake fluid was the culprit. ---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ---------- Been a while since I updated, but here we go: Pulled the tranny, and yup, the slave...

Sucks how quickly it went out on you, but its good to see you have the budget to fix it right! May I suggest a upgraded CT-26? You can fetch them from driftmotion for a good price in my opinion. That would keep it simple. My 86 went for about 20k miles before the headgasket blew, had no...

I love it! That car looks old school as anything!

Nice swap, done very well! I have a few questions for you if you dont mind, How are you controlling the fuel pump? And are you running AC and power steering? The Supercharger looks like it belongs there! Cant wait to hear it!

Haha, wow I think I read to about half of the first page before realizing how old this thread was, and by the way, 1UZ here too. Although its been the engine swap nightmare from heck, but its worth it to put a smile on my face when I press the pedal down.

I love to see NAs getting good treatment! Its got a very clean sound!

You would need to find a 89+ harness for the engine and the correct sensors for the harness. Does the engine harness have Yellow or Gray ECU/ Dash plugs? If it has Yellow, then its a pre-89 harness, if its Gray then it is a 89+ harness. As for the tach, the NA vs Turbo have different...

This is so American (in a good way). Sounds good, and I bet it does haul ars. Does the whole body shake when cruising at speed?

If you look from under the car, you will see a hole on either side of the subframe under the engine mounts. From there you can remove a nut that secures the rubber engine mounts to the sub-frame. That will aid in your removal. Nice progress! Car is coming together. I can vouch for the 1UZ...

This could be a iffy one, or may be ok. Just have to call the number up and ask. There is a Red NA 5 speed hardtop out in Western MD with 15,000 miles on it, but the guy wanted 15K for it. Been on Craigs a few times, I don't think it ever sold.

Looking good! Keep up the good work!

Well a small update a day late is turning into a big one, went out to go over a friends house and noticed my clutch feeling a little different, so I let it out and it came back so I figured it was fine. After letting the engine warm up I pressed the clutch in and it had no resistance, and it...

Thanks for the replies, tomorrow there should be a small update.

Looks like you are driving in the right directions, I too fought the popular vote of swapping a turbo in, I enjoyed every slow minute of driving my 7M powered Supras, other than the head gaskets blowing and the rod knock. :) I’m not sure if you read anything about the headers available for...

Yea, when you put it like that it sounds like I'm at a 10-15 mph roll and apply the parking brake. I dont do that, its mainly when I'm in the parking spot allready and the car is just slightly rolling. But yea, its not a normal brake, just a parking brake. Thanks for the reply. Yea, I got...

Thanks! I love the sound at lower rpms, I will need a muffler or two to make the higher rpms sound better, but for now I'm just enjoying it while I have it. ---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ---------- Well, after a weekend of fiddling around with fuel...

Thanks for the reply, I checked it earlier today, all springs/retainers accounted for, but I did find this: Found what was left of one shoe pad in dust and many pieces, and the other had half fall off, so yea, this was a problem. So I'm going to hit up the local dealership...

Hi all, I'm hearing some "popping" and other noises out of my passenger side parking brake when driving, its only talking back a little at a time but its got me worried. I do not drift/ romp on the parking brake, occasionally I will ease into it when coming to a stop in a parking lot, but...

Well this past Monday I left work and the engine just died. It was a good thing I was on a side road and not on the main drag, I at least had a little le-way when it came to passing cars, after doing some tests I came to conclusion that the fuel pump was the culprit. So on Wednesday night I...

Had some free time this afternoon, found some empty black top and wanted to get a feel for the 1UZ, still getting used to the extra torque and power over the 7M, also getting used to the steering rack. It was fun, and I think I need a LSD bad, haha, good thing I have one waiting to go in...
