    Kylefoto is jumping on the bandwagon, build thread!

    .016" is .4mm, that's a good amount he took off. If you use a stock gasket the compression is going to go up. It looks to me like the deck has been surfaced before, I can see some machining lines on it that look like it was surfaced before. That might mean the head had been surfaced before too...

    Bruce Lee in UFC

    I think he would get the ground and pound and that would be it.

    7mgte vs 5mgte /w 7m head

    The 5m head doesn't outflow the 7m head without costly modifications. The 5m rods are longer and thinner. read: weaker The oil squirters are not a must, but there is a reason they are on the turbo motors. The shorter stroke will be good for higher rpm, but the reduction in displacement will...

    7mgte vs 5mgte /w 7m head

    Stick with the 7mgte if cost, time, or maximum hp is important to you.

    7mgte vs 5mgte /w 7m head

    The first post in my thread has comparison pics of the late model 7m vs 5m vs 2jz. It would not be possible to add oil squirters to the 5m block.

    Bigaaron's "5M crank in a 7M" build thread!

    The low 5mge hp output is partially because of the lower 8.8:1 compression on the 5mge, if it had the same 9.2:1 compression ratio as the 7mge it would probably be closer in power output.

    7mgte vs 5mgte /w 7m head

    Check this out: Bigaaron's 5M crank in a 7M thread 5m block has no oil squirters, only one knock sensor hole, and the late model 7m block is reinforced to be stronger then the 5m block.

    Opinions, Thoughts..... on a Girls of SM Calendar?

    LOL, she has been to more Supra meets, car shows, and D1 drift events then most of the guys on the forum. She's even been to SILV twice. And she puts 40k miles a year on her 1jz Supra. But it's all good, I'm not going to beg.

    7M WIREHARNESS

    Does it have a clutch fan on it? If it does it's probably from a Soarer.

    anyone have a upper intake gasket for 7m?

    AutoZone has front and rear main seals, upper and lower intake gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, valve cover gasket, water pump gasket, front timing cover gasket, thermostat gasket... Some you have to buy in a set of 2 or 3 gaskets but I don't think any of them are over $10.

    My little 1jz driver would probably be flattered if she made the cut.

    Oval exhaust piping?

    That does look very nice. I think it would be cool for a downpipe to transition to flat as it turns under the floor beside the transmission.

    7M WIREHARNESS

    New goes for a little over $600. This is another good reason to buy a Supra clip and not an engine set with a cut harness or a Soarer 1jz for a Supra.

    7M WIREHARNESS

    It's not even close. Would it be completely impossible? No, but you would need to change so many things on it that it would basically be a different harness. You could use a 2jz harness, but keep in mind that the 1jz harness was made for the A70 chassis, the 2jz harness was for the A80, so the...
