    AM pistons for the gte

    pistons depends on the final HP your shooting for. I have Wiseco forged pistons and polished rods.. generally good for up to 700 HP. (crank) OEM are apparently good for 500'ish without any issues and are designed a little different then aftermarkets from my experience. Toyota did a lot of...

    Safe to use brake cleaner on LSD?

    I have the stock diff on my 88 7MGTE MK3.. just went synthetic in it. Is this one of the diffs that doesn't lock with synthetic? *the diff used to "howl" a little when not accelerating or decelerating.. that stopped with the synthetic for the most part

    7mge quarks...

    There are a lot of solutions, on this subject I would recommend you read people's build threads and decide. Its not just the rad you want to look at if your concerned with overheating. Generally the stock rad is fine, however if you run hard, there is a lot of heat soak in the engine bay for the...

    40 + 40 * 0 + 1 = ?

    yes, the proper way to do this is 40 + (40 * 0) + 1 if it was (40 + 40) * 0 + 1 it would be 1

    WoW - Clean 91 !!

    yeah, 23-27k is a good estimate. That 91 is only slightly used.. and very rare. I remember when the 87 MK3 came out and the salesmen were talking about the twin turbo car in Japan and how it was so awesome... lol. It was way before Fast and Furious... so most people still thought of speed in...

    Project 88 MKIII - A Calgary build

    This video shows the blue smoke at the end of the dyno pulls. I got the same blue smoke after doing a second gear pull when I shifted from third to forth and decelerated.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwYN06w3Nxg

    Turbo Timer Install Help

    I have a greddy turbo timer... and believe I will be removing it. Thought it would be a good idea, but find its a bit of a pain... unnecessary after having it for 2 years... Dont forget to warn anyone who is going to drive it (like a tire shop) that it has a turbo timer and not to park it in...

    Got hit, recommendations? Will my car get totaled? KBB doesn't go beyond 1993(pics)

    You can get used fenders for about 50 bucks. The Bumper sits on top of a steel "crumple bar".. (best way I can describe it) Is fairly simple to get off and it has a foam pad fit into the urethane that may have broke, but not critical. Overall, almost everything you need to fix that should cost...

    Planning 2014 Standalone Upgrade - Question...

    Now, how are you controlling your vf. My Lexus AFM screw is all the way in and 1 turn out currently (haven't tested voltage yet as I dont have the car) and I have to check my AFPR (I dont think changing anything on there will make much difference other than risking leaning out a bit). Your build...

    Stock 1988 7MGTE Intercooler Question

    the most common BOV for our cars is the HKS SSQL one I believe. I think it covers the whole spectrum and is a good performer. I may be happier with that one, but it would get attached to the hard pipe off of my 3000 pipe I think. (would have to weld on the flange)

    Project 88 MKIII - A Calgary build

    Lexus AFM upgrade is tuned correctly. Looking at getting a (BOSCH Turbo Bypass Cut-off Dump Valve 0280142110) as it deals with some of the issues with the stock BOV and is fairly cheap (DM - 80.00) The AFR's on my car are healthy as in... I dont lean out. I do have an AFPR on the car and it is...

    Stock 1988 7MGTE Intercooler Question

    My stock hoses are brand new actually. mooo... that would be funny. Now, is the BOSCH Turbo Bypass Cut-off Dump Valve 0280142110 (thats what I believe the full description is) all I will ever need? (staying with 550's and the 57 trim) of is this a shortcut?

    Stock 1988 7MGTE Intercooler Question

    does the Bosch BOV just go into the same location as the stocker? Googling to see where I can find one. I see DM carries them... 80.00.

    Project 88 MKIII - A Calgary build

    The tapping sound turned out to be the HKS EVC-S solenoid. Putting a insulator between it and the firewall because its a normal noise for it apparently. The current turbo (57Trim CT26) is from Driftmotion actually. Pretty sure I can get the BOV done simple because when I put the HKS 3000 pipe...
