Using stock thickness on a MHG also assumes that min material was removed from the block/head decks. The correct answer to the thickness question is here: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97552

It's not good for the coil or wires...it creates an arc between the connection. The TSRM says to attach a plug to the wire and ground it: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=IG&P=11 (step 9) Huntin - have you checked to see if the battery is fully charged and you are...

A 1.4mm MHG is basically stock HG thickness. With a good tune (and not going boost crazy) that thickness is fine.

They need to be checked...you just have to be careful. I've found the gap way off on NGK iridiums out of the box. Stock gap is fine for stock boost.

No it's not a problem...the ATI comes balanced. The rest of the rotating assembly should be balanced as well. It's best to balance as a unit (ATI, crank, pistons, rods), but it's not 100% necessary to include the ATI in the process.

^^^ Yep! The ATI damper is ~ 2 kilo lighter than OEM.

You do not want a T-stat colder than OEM. The ECU looks for a normal ops temp of 80-100 deg C...below 80 degs, the motor is in warm-up enrichment...above 100 degs, the ECU pulls timing to prevent detonation. The OEM stat will get the engine in the ops temp range quickly...that is what you want...

You can bypass the coolant line - do not block off. This has noting to do with running speed density...the coolant lines to the TB and ISCV are to prevent intake icing under certain humidity/temp conditions. It does not have to be at freezing or below for this to happen. You can delete the...

That's interesting you decided that. Especially since just about every guy on SM that's knows what they are doing when rebuilding a 7M has shimmed the oil pump relief valve ~5mm. That's on a brand new OEM oil pump too. And, has installed a full flow oil cooler circuit. Guess you know...

Ummm...what/where did you hook up the aftermarket boost gauge to? Specifics are important...at what part of the IC piping/manifold you are seeing 10 psi makes a huge difference.

Ummmm....just to be absolutely clear, the above is nowhere in this thread. I looked. The way the above is presented in your post makes it appear you attempted to answer. That is not even close to the truth. Just so you know, I can see any edits on any post made on SM, including any deleted...

Your "impression" is incorrect. Look at the routing of the vac lines to the VSV...how would it get rid of fuel vapor directly by "venting"? (Hint: it's impossible) It works exactly as I stated, the VSV vents to atmosphere and causes the FPR to raise FP...exactly the same as if you...

Ahem...looks like to me it's pretty darn 2J swap specific...i.e. asking if these are needed for the swap. ;)

Since this is a 2J swap, it belongs in Other Engine Tech...thread moved. Please pay attention where you post.

Thing is he didn't answer my question (boost sensor location)...the pulling teeth gets old fast. Especially when answered like he did...the written word is subject to interpretation, even more of a good reason to be absolutely clear when answering. After all, I am not the one that needs help ;)

We have a section for "Other Engine" Tech...it's for questions on the various motor besides the 7M people put in a MK III. Please pay attention to where you post...thread moved.

To answer your 1st questions Gaboon, the purpose of the FP up VSV is to increase FP when coolant temps are hot: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=116 The VSV opens to atmosphere (same as if you disconnected the vac line) to increase FP for a hot start. The...

Good luck with your problem.

Once you've done it, it's done...the key words are that ARP does not recommend or endorse over torquing their hardware. Always keep something in mind: "should" is right between "F" and "U" in the alphabet... particularly true for a 7M ;)

Do us a favor and don't post unless you're 100% sure...the 7M is a very unforgiving engine when it comes to build specs. This forum is littered with the results of from guys using "I heard" or "that's they way they do it on <insert motor>". Suggest you do a lot of reading before you attempt a...
