    Jay's Rebuild 7MGE to 7MGTE Conversion

    I could do that to but the new holder is only 50 bucks, 12 feet of braided line would run the same amount, add connectors and now its more. Anyone have an uncut wiring harness?

    Jay's Rebuild 7MGE to 7MGTE Conversion

    Pulled the engine today. Put the new engine on the stand to dismantle tomorrow and take to machine shop. Here are some pics. No problems taking the engine out, forgot one fuel line that stopped us for about 5 min and then figured that one out.

    Thanks Jeff, this is the motor that will have $10 grand of HPF invested in it. Finally received it, had to reorder twice. Should be nice.

    Jay's Rebuild 7MGE to 7MGTE Conversion

    JDM motor finally arrived after having to reorder the first one because "they lost it". I ordered through a new company and got one it two weeks. It looks pretty clean and looks to have very low milage.

    Jay's Rebuild 7MGE to 7MGTE Conversion

    Well I dropped the fuel tank tonight to do the fuel pump swap out and broke the line out right next to the top (no way to use a connector, too close to the top), it looks like it is all one piece so I think I have to replace the entire pump holder. Anyone have one of these?

    Electronic or Mechanical Gauges?

    Thanks, I totally agree with the electrical path. A oil line popping is not my idea of a hot oil massage. Thanks, Iam looking at the Defi Link setup also
