    Stock intercooler piping pics needed

    I am having trouble figuring out what way that the stock pipes fit onto the car. I mainly need to see a pic of the pipe that goes through the side of the car into the engine bay. Other pics would be helpful if you guys have them. Thanks!

    swawp issues

    I am in the middle of swapping a gte into my 89 supra. RIght now we have the old engine out. I am having trouble with the fuel line. To get it out we just snipped the dampener hard line off just pretty close to the rail. We tried disconnecting it where the two lines are joined together near the...

    pre-89 and 89+ throttle cables

    Are they the same length? I have tried to stick to 89+ everything on my motor, but my buddy thinks that the linkage I have is all pre-89. I want to ensure that the throttle cable is the same also. Thanks

    I already tried searching a good bit, but I am swapping a 7mgte into my car in a few weeks. I need to know how many/what size intercooler clamps I need for the stock setup. Thanks!

    Last pulls in my nonturbo before the swap

    I finished mounting/wiring my gauges up yesterday for my 7mgte swap so I decided to hook the boost gauge up just for the hell of it haha. I wanted to get a video of two more pulls before I swap the motor over just to have a reference once the new engine is in. She still pulls strong (not fast)...

    Temperature sender unit

    I am nearing the end of my 7mgte build and I noticed that the probe on top of the water neck directly behind the thermostat (close to the CPS) has been broken off. I am assuming this is some type of sender unit for the computer or gauge. Does anyone know if this unit is the same plug for turbo...

    n/a PS bottle with intercooler pipes?

    Has anyone ever done this before? Once I swap my engine I am concerned there will be firament issues with the blow off valve I purchased if I use the turbo power steering bottle. Has anyone used the nonturbo bottle before on a turbo setup with the stock IC pipes? Thanks

    my build is at a standstill! Help!!

    Ok so I have this autometer oil pressure sending unit that will not thread into the block. I do not have many tools to fix the threads that are messed up on it. As far I know, the block side of things is ok. I need to try a stock sending unit on it to make sure it will thread in. If anyone on...

    wiring harness question

    I purchased a 89+ grey plug gte harness a few weeks ago. We started putting it on the engine and my roommate seems to think that the alternator is supposed to have a plug on the harness. I am not 100% sure...is this true? I hope not...the seller claimed the harness was complete and missing no...

    Oil pressure sending unit

    I have an autometer ultralite II that's going in my car once the swap is done. Yesterday I was working on the engine some and could not get the sender unit into the block. The unit is not so big it won't just sit in the hole barely, but I can not get it to thread into the hole. The block was...

    Confidence in my swap

    I have a 89 n/a that I am doing a full gte swap with. The engine should be done in the next week or two. My only problem is that I am 2 hours away from my house for school. I also work here where I go to school. I need the engine to be reliable enough to get to and from my job and home over the...

    I am an oil pump shaft noob

    My block had the oil pump shaft bearings replaced when it was getting machine work done. From what I NOW understand the bearings come oversized and need to be sanded down a little or something. Well I put the shaft in today and it won't come back out OR move. I know this was a dumb move so I do...

    mhg sealer

    I bought a 2.2mm mls mhg from SIP racing. It did not come with any type of sealer on it. The guy from SIP racing said it did not need any, but instead an RA value of 50 would be ok. I searched a little and couldn't find what this is and really whether or not I should use spray sealer. The only...

    stud size

    One of the studs on my exhaust housing of the turbo that's going on my car is screwed up. I already checked all over town and nobody had this stud. Can someone tell me the dimensions of this stud so I can try to find it online?

    7m-ftw build

    I have a 1989 nonturbo supra. My roommate finished swapping a gte into his 88 about a year ago. I intended on waiting to get out of school to swap a 7mgte into mine, but shortly after riding in his for the first time I changed my mind. I plan on staying stock for the most part besides full 3...

    npr pistons

    I bought some 20 over npr pistons off of ebay for my turbo build. I have heard that these are known to break apart under boost loads that are not incredibly heavy. Is this true and if so what is a good set of pistons to put in that are a fairly decent price?

    what to do with GE

    I am going to be swapping in a GE in the next month or two. Once the GTE goes in I can't decide what to do with the GE. It is the original engine and has never been rebuilt. I burned a valve and had the head rebuild and resurfaced. It was put back on a torqued back down to 75 ft/lbs on stock...

    machine shop question

    I have my block and head in the machine shop getting all cleaned up for my turbo build. I mentioned to the guy doing the work about different head gasket thickness. The block has already been bored 20 over by whoever had it last so he is thinking that the head and block may have also been...

    gauge light wiring

    I have the lotek gauge pod with a autometer II ultralite oil pressure and boost gauge that I am going to use once I swap the engine. I have a good ground for these and have already hooked that up. Where is a good place to tie into for the power source? Thanks.
