I'm playing phone tag w/ Wryann at VIP Performance, so I'm sending him an email Re the ARFs and the gear used. Van

Yes, purchased new a year ago, and it has the extra ground wire! It also has a new ignition switch and harness... It's all $$$ new. Van

The 7M has a new 7M-GTE ignition system and new engine wire harness. It still has an oil leak around the cam covers that may contribute to the problem, but it also had some old gasoline, that didn't have much of the volatile components in it. Using the old sniff test, it wasn't aromatic as new...

I don't know... I'll call and ask Wryann tomorrow, at VIP Performance. Yes, I too was surprised by those numbers! Brian Riley of M&B Cylinder Heads, knows very well, how to build racing engines. These numbers are on stock cams and valves, but with a lot of time and attention spent on the...

Nope... You're not blind... I'm tecno challenged. There! I fixed it. Van

This is after a base tune, on seven psig; expressed in WHP & WTq: VIP Performance, Portland OR. PH - 503-257-1110 FAX - 503-257-4722 Aim- VIPperformance1

Their name and number are : M&B Cylinder Heads, 503-286-1725. I have the torque plate, let me know when you need it and I can run it over there on my lunch break the day before. Van

yes I did get the NEO. Thanks.

I'll be running in ITE, Improved Touring, "E" for everything. I still need to strip out the interior and get a cage welded in, but first, my wife needs to get rehired. I'm the sole income earner in my household and money is tight. Van

No, the 7M has stock GTE cams w/ adjustable cam gears. The plan is to move to a cam that will give the 7M a wider power/torque band/curve. Now it is driven a lot around 4K rpm and the stock cams work well with the CT26 at 10psi. When the 7M gets the T4 set-up, then there will be new cams. I must...

Maximum WHp 450 @ 5800 rpm (2 Bar)

I'm open to good arguments going either route. SCCA will have me classed to run with high powered Porsche turbos, and ZO6. Since I'm running in ITE anyway, I might as well try to get the biggest bang for the buck... It just needs to be reliable, for example, not need tinkering with each race...

My friends... It's time for my Supra to get the upgraded turbo. I'm looking at the Hybrid Motorsports bolt on JT58, for $1400 as the simplest upgrade. For my motor and all the head work that has been done to it, I think there is perhaps something better to help it reach its full potential. No...

I read here on SM that 8-12psi is the sweet spot for the CT26. Is that correct? Thank you for the ref to Driftmotion's fuel upgrade kit. They're going to call me when it's ready to dyno, so I'll have a short vid to share. Van

Thanks for asking. I'm still waiting on the 7MGTE upgraded fuel parts from Driftmotion. They are scheduled to arrive Friday afternoon. VIP -Performance hopes to have all the problems sorted, parts installed and dyno tune done by Jan 18th. The Supra is still on the stock CT26. My plan is to run...

Will do!

Thank you! I had a lot of expert help... M&B Cylinder Heads, Able Radiator, Cascade Sports Car Club members (Kyle and Mike), Racetech and of course, the members of Supramania. :love: I can hardly wait myself. My plan is to take out the Supra, do some passes on the strip, see if I can break...

Hello Turd Furguson, My 7MGTE is fitted with an Ishihara Johnson crank scraper for the 6M crank. It was a little tricky to get it fitted well, the crank is modified, but nothing a file and an hours work didn't solve. I haven't noticed any problems after 3K miles. There is a very small weeping...

Hi Kenny, I just ordered Driftmotion's 7MGTE fuel rail feed and return line upgrade kits that includes a guage. So, now I'm pretty sure the restriction problem is solved. Next will be the lean-out... Stay tuned! Van

Hi Kenny, They did the testing during the time the J-tube was attached. Wryan of VIP said the pump "dead headed" at 90psi, but wouldn't hold pressure. Saturday is a day to finish up customers cars, and my car has turned into a project, so it is going to be there for a few days. They plan to...
