    A1Cardone "Rebuilt" Steering Rack - A public service announcement.

    Yeah that was for the booster. I am also asking about a rebuild kit for the master cylinder. (ABS model)

    A1Cardone "Rebuilt" Steering Rack - A public service announcement.

    Good info Jeff. Another question on part availability. Where can I source a rebuild kit for an ABS master cylinder (87') now that Toyota has discontinued that item? Any other Toyota models use the same internal components that can be adapted over? I have an old master that just has a tiny...

    The Legend Returns! March 6, 2018

    Re: The Legend Returns! Any word on if the BMW - Toyota joint venture will result in 2 different branded models of whatever this vehicle ends up being? Similar to the Toybaru BRZ/FR-S/86 mashup.

    A1Cardone "Rebuilt" Steering Rack - A public service announcement.

    It's really not hard to do with the subframe bolted in. You will end up with some busted knuckles but not bad. The passenger side bracket is tricky to reach.

    The Legend Returns! March 6, 2018

    Re: The Legend Returns! JL7mgte, the Japanese magazine appears to just be showing the FT-1 concept from 2014. https://www.toyota.com/concept-vehicles/ Though some of the design features appear to be carrying over to the "New Supra" or whatever they decide to call it...

    I can see the photos. Just need to add an extension to chrome to view: Photobucket Hotlink Fix I don't upload anything else to photobucket anymore. imgbb.com seems to work pretty well for hosting photos now.

    7MGTE Oil pressure system.

    Yeah with all the engineers we have kicking around here we should really pool our resources and dig into these systems. Makes some real conclusions. The pressure / temperature logging I have also wanted to dig into on the intercooler / intake piping for a long time as well. From my...

    Damn, that's a shame. Another blown engine due to the oil pump retainer... If it hasn't been mitigated yet, these 7M's will find the flaw to bite back.

    7MGTE Oil pressure system.

    Agreed. I do this shit every day at work and have access to some wicked sampling rate logging tools. 100kHz max response time or every 0.00001 sec. One of my goals is to be able to capture the oil pressure pulses from the actual oil pump itself. The individual pules from the gear rotor pump...

    7MGTE Oil pressure system.

    Yes I have seen that, do you know if any pressure data logs were taken before and after? Or any data logs of any kind were taken? Also aware of the needle bearing retention plate. Thanks

    7MGTE Oil pressure system.

    Simple. Its another option, different from the norm. You appear to really hate the idea, which is fine. As mentioned before I work based of measurements OR modeling. In this case the pressure drop across the full flow system is simply based off Darcy–Weisbach equation. With the end goal to...

    Based on the tracking it should be to you by the end of the day :D Just make sure to follow the maintenance procedure I included with the diff! Jay, you are also following this procedure correct? :)

    7MGTE Oil pressure system.

    Sure why not, everyone has their own viewpoints. I will gladly like to hear everyone's custom setup with the data to back it up. As an engineer I cannot rely on anecdotal evidence, there needs to be measured or modeled data provided as proof. Though I am not entirely sure why you would want to...

    7MGTE Oil pressure system.

    Sequence of posts in the thread: Post #8 I describe the modified stock system I designed and built. Post #10 simond355 asks for more information. Post #11 I give a quick overview of the pros / cons of the stock system vs full flow. I then describe the steps I have taken to correct...

    Looks like you posted up an image of an aftermarket oil filter housing. Thermostats usually work like this. Example...
