What I dont get is, how removing it affects the ECU? Its an unmonitored EGR system, the ECU will just correct itself for the change in temperature would it not? (not looking for a flame war, and it has been discussed elsewhere.. but I have not found anything that indicates how removing the EGR...

I just went through something similar where I used a litre of oil in about 100 km (60 miles). Newly built engine with a new turbo and it turned out to be the turbo (at least that's what it appears to be currently). I replaced the 57 trim with a 60-1 trim and no smoking (had to take it on the...

I talked to him on the phone.. I think we can work it out okay. Odd thing though.. I seem to get the bad stuff.. lol. Must just be luck.

Actually, I find that 1st is really really quick, 2nd is pretty quick, 3rd will take me to 165 kph if I try to get near redline, but not as quick... Fourth is my dump gear. I have only had it up to 190 kph and still had more left, but that was on the road and doing that speed is insane... On a...

Okay.. picked up a 60-1 Turbo with about 3000 km on it (ceramic coated on exhaust side). Took it out for a tour in crappy roads (melting snow and rocks.. I regret it, but I had to know if there was anything wrong with the engine). No smoke. Problem solved. I think I just have really crappy luck...

You just listed a whole whack load of wasted money at the top of the page. Mhg with a properly decked block and oem pistons and rings are your best bet. 550 injectors and a better turbo along with upgraded intercooler, AFPR, upgraded fuel pump and wideband.., you've already went over your goal...

I used engine paint (satin black) and it turned out excellent. 3 years later, no wear or rust... (used engine paint because the sun tends to heat those babies up a bit.. and it was recommended)

The kicker is.. someone probably paid 24,000.00 at one point to have a car that looked almost as good.. :)

2 things to be careful of (and the calculations are not understood by me yet so I can't advise)... You don't want the tire out so far that your quarter panel lip cuts into the sidewall and not in so far that it hits the suspension. I think some are hesitant to give you the thumbs up on a...

The cooling system is a closed system. There is no such thing as suction.., only positive or negative pressure. Bypasses serve a logical function. What's the concern? After reading the following 4 posts.. lol.. I will clarify... The water pump is meant to flow the coolant in one direction...

I think your poll questions are not quite correct.. should add 7MGTE and 2jz.. lol. never done a JZ swap, but sure like the looks of a properly done one. Dont think any of the "proper" swaps were cheap though. 7M-GE turbo swap and build <---- title is 7MGTE... this is a 7MGE-T 1JZ-GTE engine swap

I have a 87 7MGE that I am reviving.. was wondering what it would be like (W58 trans)

I have seen front clips with the R154 on ebay for 2200-2700. Doesnt leave you much for extra parts (which is why I suggested parting out the rest.. but if your doing it in a classroom setting (shop) I would stick with the 7M just was browsing ebay... wondering if all the 2jzGTE's have all...

There's another thread here with someone wanting to supercharge a MK3... I think its been done once before... (not sure if I read it right). Overall its cool if you got money to toss away...

Is it still the stock ECU? Kinda cool that it runs like this.. lol. Wonder how your performance is in comparison. (no boost, but the engines still have boogie to them)

With your budget and tools I would pick up a 2jz clip with the r154... Use what you need, part out the rest and go single turbo.

Several schools if thought regarding EGR delete. Yeah it does have a cooling effect, however my main reason is because on my 88 it's unmonitored. It's fine without the EGR and if I was worried and heading above 500 rwhp (which I'm not) I would be running water/meth injection. I won't be...

57 trim usually sets you back 550-650.00 Dont see many used like that for sale. I may have a 60-1 CT26 for sale in a month or so but wouldnt part with it for less than 450.00 + shipping. Used CT26's can be had for 100-250.00 from my searching... The exhaust can be found from time to time used...

NA-T is fine, but from my understanding, not as reliable and more expensive than picking up a 7MGTE and dumping it in. Personally, if I was starting from scratch? 2jz... but realise that its a different ballgame. You will have to replace a lot of things which i can't advise on because I ended up...

The HSD's I am running took a little to get used to. I have the fronts and rears even at 7/16 and I will be putting the front at 8/16 and the rear at 6/16 now because I find at higher speed on a bumpy road, the car tends to skip while under WOT (goes from one bump to the next with no...
