    Bogwon's 87 7M GTE project

    The DM intercooler is bead rolled.. very good quality from what I can see so far. Welds aren't the cleanest... but I can deal with that later on...

    Planning 2014 Standalone Upgrade - Question...

    Well.. going to stay with stock ECU and the AFM for now. If I do shift up, it will be full bore. I generally like to overbuild my car.. I think its called being on a fool's quest... just dumping cash into the car. I dont short-cut if I can help it. (mind you.. I am not building for 1000 HP...

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3,...NOW FOUR!

    I have the Spec 2+ clutch. Holds really well, but I find that I get a bit of shudder while downshifting. Probably because I am running stock flywheel with just a refresh. Good clutch though, holds super well. I think I may drive too nicely which is why I get that tiny shudder... when the roads...

    Planning 2014 Standalone Upgrade - Question...

    Just to update... 60-1 CT26 now on the car and no smoking issues. DM 7MGTE Intercooler is sitting in a box behind me right now with a genuine HKS SSQV-4 bov. Hoping to have that on the car in a week or so (too much snow falling lately to move the car anywhere). As for the octane, I will be...

    Bogwon's 87 7M GTE project

    I just got the DM intercooler (new, because there are 2 types for 7M there). Will let you know how the install goes. My worry with the 200.00 eBay one is the pipe material. The DM version looks to be pretty sturdy. Why are you looking at just a turbo elbow? Are you already 3" DP and catback?

    Recomend a brake setup for meeee!

    I have to look at my brakes closer.. those 12" wilwoods dont look much bigger than my Brembo rotors...

    Recomend a brake setup for meeee!

    Really? i thought the BBK were meant more for track cars, not street drivers. Mine are brand new, but the old ones were about 8 years old (pads and rotors) and the only reason I changed them out was that I wanted a fresh system and I have had 3 times where the brakes wouldn't engage correctly...

    Really loving the powdercoated intake. Wish I had seen it like that a couple weeks back.. could have had mine done as well.

    Recomend a brake setup for meeee!

    Well in Canada, they will want to toss you in jail and possibly castrate you for breaking 150 kph.... lol. I think in the USA they just pull you out of your car and shoot you on sight...

    Okay.. off topic just for a breif minute.. but I gotta comment... cant stop watching that pic on the bottom of gurley's sig... its terribly distracting...

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

    Remember.. the guy who hit your car doesnt have any play in this. Nothing you do will damage him at all. That being said... its free to talk to a lawyer. (said that because some people think it will hurt a "nice person" if they go to a lawyer) Dont sign anything until you are completely happy...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Don't forget shipping... Lol. I consider it one of the best DDP's on the market for a 7M though. Good welds, very well built. It actually cost me more because I shortened the plate between the wastegate and exhaust be 1/4", made the plate that joins to the turbo perfectly flat (there can be...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    7M stock CT26 has a turbo elbow (restrictive). As far as I know, Randy no longer makes the 7M variant. Raptor's product is really nice, however, be prepared to bang back the heat shield where the speedometer comes up past the firewall as the flexpipe is tight in that area (at least it was in...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    I got Raptor Racing DDP... simply because I dont trust the ebay stuff and couldn't find a good one with an integrated turbo elbow. BIC had one, but I dont think he makes it for a 7M anymore... I assume your with a 7M for the cost of that DP though.. makes me wonder how long it will last.. but...

    Recomend a brake setup for meeee!

    I put on brembo rotors, stock calipers, SS brake lines.. flushed fluids.. and it stops perfectly fine. 150 kph, and I had to hammer the brakes.. no fade.. perfect. I have always been impressed with the stock MK3 brake. Its very durable and effective as opposed to some of the newer vehicles that...

    a problem has occured in my life.

    okay.. you typed it... you didn't "say" it.. and I aint giving you my phone number either. (and.. just in case you were not being facetious... yeah.. its not worth 50 grand... I could dump 200k into it.. and it still wouldnt be worth 50 grand... but it is insured for 40k.)

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    I bought the test kit for about 85.00 shipped from Amazon. Handy to have around really.. (for me anyway because I like looking at used Supras.. :D )

    What part is this

    nm.. I just read that your heat works fine. Not sure why he circumvented it...

    What part is this

    Well.. that part is probably already circumvented. Normally you have two hoses running to it. Funny how the TSRM has no mention of it that I can find. if you go to this link.. go to AC-36 and you will see a pic of its location/hook-up (ableit.. small)...
