I got a brain cramp.. 7m uses low impedance or high?

Great... now I have to buy one and start prepping for that as well.. lol.. which will mean a new intercooler as well.. :) ... and here is why there are used parts for sale...

I read a different post and thought it was you responding.. lol. Thought you said you had a 7MGTE in it already. Yeah, either way, your looking at doing a lot of work. If you can do it yourself, your better off as long as you get the parts before you start. Plan everything bumper to bumper...

Huh? I do 10 hour drives in my car at 90'ish MPH (yeah.. too fast.. but the cruise is set... and away I go). The car wasn't built to sit on blocks... so I don't understand the question. If you DD your car without any issues, you should be fine driving cross-country. Its actually probably easier...

I'm confused, at the very bottom of the initial post you say the car is a n/a 5 spd. What is current state? (Maybe a list of what the car has currently would be best... Bumper to bumper. Start with the engine. And put up a few photos. If its already a turbo'd mk3 with intercooler , ecu...

Bought a T4 HKS Longrunner manifold yesterday (from leftynridge) with Tial 44mm wastegate, custom DP and a precision 6265 billet BB turbo. Will post when it arrives and gets setup (currently it is setup to dump to atmosphere.. because I am not going for extreme boost/HP I will be reintegrating...

Careful... poodles plays with fire...

I laugh at you guys sometimes... You forget sooooo much. This is a NA car (if I read the original post correctly). He will need pretty well an entire front clip... Hopefully a good one (welcome to the gamble) For either engine your going to need an exhaust, ecu, preferably an R154 although a...

That's what I am hoping. Its going to be interesting to dyno it prior to the standalone system being installed and then getting the before/after mixed in with the Lexus AFM/550 upgrade 57 Trim dyno. Just to see what happens across the board.

Also.. just as an example of what I was saying about forgetting about doing a swap and just buying a car... here is a sample of what I mean...

:werd:

Your correct, that is from my experience. And my statement is not fully correct, I am thinking more about fuel control, fuel cut and going too rich in the upper end. With just the Lexus AFM and 550s I found it very difficult not to go too rich on the 4500+ Rpm side ( no other mod other than an...

Op wants "the most reliable streetable engine" and has "crap for experience with these". Both the 7M and JZ are respectable streetable engines. He has had "0 luck with the 7m due to the previous owner and my own neglect". We can't help with that.. either engine will die if you point a gun at it...

Yeah I'm looking for a conservative tune in the end. 300 hp is a lot of fun, 350 is just a lot of giggles. Anything over 400 on my car would just make me smile a lot. Of course if I ever get the race track 1/4 mile bug, that would all change... Lol. I'm not out to beat anything, just want a...

Jz vs 7m? Jz is newer and has a lot going for it all learned from a 7m Keep that in mind. The 7m is an excellent engine choice but jz has more going for it (large discussion, done many times). As I said I intended to do the jz swap, but other issues and timing (not money) stopped that plan...

Hoping its "as advertised". I could have bought a setup from DM for what I paid for this. We will see I guess. I hate used items because its generally not a personal design choice, but that of the previous owner, but as long as its the Hks manifold (truly) and nothing is damaged, I think I will...

Very nice work on both. I can see what you mean by raising the light 1 mm.. Lol

You need to add brake fluid.. and don't drive without brakes.. lol. You live far too close to me!

actually.. its a moot point now. I was just pointed to (and bought) a T4 setup here.. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?177167-Built-R-154-Precision-6265-turbo-HKS-manifold-Rebuilt-Head-Tial-44mm-wastegate-1000cc&p=1936843&viewfull=1#post1936843

I am so very much considering going back to a stock 88 bumper after seeing these pics... it would allow me to drop my car a bit more... lol.
