Do you have a problem with the 7M now? Awful lot of headaches and problems to switch to the 2jz-ge for very little gain.

Good one Grim, don't think anybody has gotten it yet :) I think also you can see if it can be saved with replacing the bearings, you'd know if you can when you drop the pan.

It's called a blown head gasket. You are probably looking at a complete rebuild. There are plenty of threads here just search. Look in the stickies too. Goo luck and let us know what you find. Pics say a thousand words :)

If you want to replace the cap get it from the dealer, the one's at the auto parts stores are not reinforced and will blow again, been there done that :) The intake tube, which one are you looking for? I might have one or you can post in the "Wanted to buy" section, I'm sure there are a few...

Lookin' good CRE. As a average, or some may say below average guy, looks to be fairly easy to understand :)

Yeah the cams look like they were steam cleaned:) I'd check the oil out to see how bad it is, you might get more of a idea of what to do next. You might luck out and the bearings maybe not so bad.

If you don't have the hose on there that goes to the intake pipe, it goes to the power steering actuator on top of the PS pump, then you have a big vac leak. You have to either hook up the hose or plug the hole in the pipe for now.

He said the one that goes against the block, it's pretty thin.

Looks like you found your problem. If you have some gaskets missing then you have some unmetered air getting in. Fix the gaskets. :)

The screw on the TB on mine, 88, has a 1/2" black plastic cap on it on the front of the TB. The screw is behind that.

If you take a look at my "profile", like that IJ? It's more than you have listed for the mods you are considering. I haven't dynoed yet with the Maft-Pro, I'd guess with my "butt dyno" about 235-240 RWHP. Higher compression means higher octane fuel, you wouldn't be able to run on mid-grade. I...

Thanks Cuel. So they can be calibrated, is there a way to check it?

I guess I'm not using the right term. My user name I ahould have said, it gives the profile and my list of mods. Didn't know you've been keeping such a close eye on me, thought that was CRE's job :)

Takes a lot to get 200 RWHP. Take a look at my mods on my signature, it's a long list.

If you didn't re-torque then it may not be sealed. Suppose to re-torque after about 5-8 heat cycles. Low compression may cause the harder starting. What did you torque the head too? Did you check/replace the vac hoses?

How long has it been since you replaced the HG? Did you re-torque?

While we are on the subject, any way of calibrating the clickers?? What I have and would like to know if it's close.

Well get crackin'...I'm finally caught up with the last bunch of updates :) Yes if you can afford it the Maft-Pro is the way to go. Also if you are thinking of going turbo at some point, it's a great add on.

If you are going to run bigger injectors, you have to have some way to adjust the AFR, piggy-back or something.

Normal but avoidable. CRE has a write up on it how to get rid of the codes. I'll try to find it.http://www.fadingworld.com/Supra/Electrical/MAFT%20Pro/MAFTwriteup/7M-XXX/MAFT%20Pro%20and%20Codes.html
