    Airbag or no? Throw in your $.02 here

    There is. Do you have a factory repair manual? Plug it in and see what it does. After you know there are no short pins or other things in the harness to make it deploy. I don't know why somebody would put a paperclip in a squib sensor on the harness side but we are talking about MA70 owners...

    Manual transmission and diff set up for drag racing

    The 7MGE cars have a 4.30:1 in place of your 87 turbo diff which is 3.91:1. All 7MGE Supras have a 4.30:1.

    Toyota Head Gasket Limitations?

    Good because it is a real problem for any engine. If the engine is not over heated, it is likely that won't happen. Annealing is the correct term, IJ likes to use it as he blazed some impressive trails with the 7M and found strengths and weakness.

    Toyota Head Gasket Limitations?

    Fel-Pro makes many gaskets for automotive manufacturers. I should say Federal-Mogul. I have opened AC Delco and Motorcraft packages in the past and on one side is say...a Blue Oval, and on the other side is the Fel-Pro stamp. If you get Toyota Motor Corp out of Japan to comment then do share...

    Toyota Head Gasket Limitations?

    Why? Is there something you know that automotive manufacturers don't know? There is only one Perma-Torque by Fel Pro for the 7MGTE-7MGGE. No. The Perma-Torque is a steel gasket. Not to be confused with a MLS. It has a composite face so it seals on an improper surface. I probably...

    Toyota Head Gasket Limitations?

    The Fel-Pro® PermaTorque® is a steel gasket with a composite facing specifically for repair. That is a much better choice than the standard composite gasket if you are pushing power. Especially when you have some detonation at that level.

    Scan tool suggestions

    I have never used either one. I have used Vetronix produced tools for Toyota and GM, among others. Sadly, the laptop is replacing them. You might consider a high quality but used tool that has all the cards.

    Has anyone dynoed their stock Mk3 supra turbo?

    Mass production prohibits all cars from being either 230/246 or 232/256. Boost varies from automatic to manual with the fluid coupling. Specifically, boost will vary from 4.8-7.5 psi stock. That is by the book.

    JZ Engine Swap Costs Estimates and differences!

    2JZ-GE with variable cam timing, then turbocharge it. If you are hell-bent on spending thousands on a core and swap parts upfront. Which it seems you are.

    The dumbest thing I did was let Mrs M drive it.

    lexus afm +550cc injector mod not working. using stock AFM housing.

    You don't necessarily have an intake leak. With a big turbo you can easily hit overboost fuel cut and it has nothing to do with a leak. The larger housing slows the frequency raising the point at which fuel cut occurs. If the screw is all the way, fuel cut happens sooner rather than later. The...

    7mgte auto transmission

    If you can successfully take the valve body out and replace it correctly, you can put it in a Ziploc gallon bag and ship it California.

    lexus afm +550cc injector mod not working. using stock AFM housing.

    The AFM issues are not because of the AFM, they are because of other things wrong. Unless the reflector or LED is soaked in K&N oil.
