Well.. I will give an answer that is as complete as the information provided... yes. You don't need a FPR really.. but when you get into higher output... you will want to know that you aren't leaning out. Only way to tell is a wideband. The Lexus AFM/550's are specifically intended to get...

I travel with a cup of coffee and no spare. Tools? My Supra is rock solid... as long as it doesn't hit a rock or something else solid...

Hp per dollar is ... Stay 7M. Pretty engine bay and you have a lot of money... Go 2jz

Yes, Im just saying, there's more to it. I have no experience with that unit. And I myself am not a tuner, But be wary of the words "plug and play". It's an "overall" term. All the plug and play items I have bought for my car needed modification of some sort. Not sure of what support level you...

Don't be fooled by the words "plug-and-play". I have yet to get anything that simple for our cars.

Ah... Kk. Although its still the best to start properly. List what he has, followed by what goals are, them what budget is and finally is he doing the work himself? Tons of info to throw at the OP but easiest if done in a logical path.

Whoops wrong link... Sigh

Hmm.. I read everything he has ever posted (not that many.. lol) I don't see any mention of "not having the motor". The basics are easy and a bit misleading. You can outline the BPU build for a MK3, but it leaves out a lot of information... usually reserved for "after" when you find out your...

STEP 1: We need to know status of your car. (Photos helps). Any upgrades yet? Have you leakdown/compression tested your engine? What headgasket? How many miles on it? Suspension condition? Brakes condition? The very first thing to do would be to really start a build thread for us. Do your...

Google 7mgte BPU upgrade I will post a link shortly if you don't find it that outlines everything. Oh, and before you buy everything post up your parts list so we can critique it Here is a link to start you http://www.suprastore.com/stivimk3tu7m.html

You actually don't need an upgraded fuel pump and AFPR if I remember right for simple 550/Lexus AFM. Fairly certain the stock fuel pump will suffice. (someone will correct me if this is wrong) Generally.. a wideband is good just to ensure your not leaning out, but the ECU is going to make...

CAVEAT >>> This is regarding my car and I am not a mechanic... the following statements are argumentative... research and decide... :D I got rid of the EGR... no issues. The exhaust temp will likely be higher (probably about 100 degrees according to tests done). Did I do it because I...

I mean, normally you would go low impedance for injectors. And nope.. I can tell.. its a good build thread to watch :)

Lol, as long as your realise its not native. I just did a doube take when I read that and thought maybe I had it backwards.

I thought so, just wondering if the 550's are high or low. Thought we ran low only

Ouch

I have been on the dyno twice.. both times were disappointments. First time because at the middle of adjusting things started to get blue at the end of every dyno pull coming out of the tail (turbo eventually started doing blue constantly). Did 300 hp/387 torque in the end which wasn't that...

I think the very last short block sold from Toyota Japan is sitting in Edmonton AB. When they were down to 10 left in stock (if I recall the story correctly) Reg Reimer bought them all. He has none left, but he showed me the last one in a crate about 2-3 years ago. I was going to buy it but...

7M blocks are disappearing (I found that out when I was looking for a rebuilt shortblock). No OEM ones left period. I think you have to remember that the MK3 is being bought as a cheap powerhouse so the 7M's get trashed by those who don't know how to care about them or just don't care period. If...

Doubt anyone is going to have an oil issue running on the street with a 300-500 rwhp 7MGTE MK3... the shim isn't to solve.. its to improve. Not needed at all.
