Plans for later: airflor metering system upgrade (no clue currently), probably 550s or bigger, probably bigger then a .57(I think) trim CT26, and an electronic boost controller. I want 400-450 at the crank. And YES, I will be revving the !@#$%^@ out of it in the mud. but not all the time.

nah. I have seen 2wd pickup, 85 4runner, 87 4runner, and some 90s 4runner. and o course cars (240z, celica-supra, etc). all the non-supra swaps go about the same though. tranny issues, hook ECU up to power, hook up starter and alt., do fuel lines, then make mounts an go. Oh and mayb a fuel...

Thanks guys. I will get the rings from the factory. Non-tty main and rob bolts makes me happy. MVP motorsports said they were all tty, probably to help sell more ARP hardware. Saves some money. Right now it looks like around $800 for the build.

NEW DIRECTION!!! I was going to order a gasket set and I realized how much of a collosal waste of time it is to go this far, and then plan to rebuild it later. So, right now, at 242K, this engine is getting rebuilt. The whole bottom end. Assuming all parts pass inspection, here are my...

About that. Right now I am pretty close to broke, and I owe my college a lot of money. So I can't really afford a lot of new stuff. (if I took the bottom end apart it would get new bearings everywhere, as well as rings, and a new factory oil pump, etc). I didn't have any money when I tore down...

I am such a thorough cheapskate that I still wouldn't buy it. This tranny was free (since I had both). Custom bellhousings are usually like 200-300. Cool though. They will sell a ton of those! Its a killer swap (unless you have crappy gearing. the 7m isn't an excellent low end motor).

Yeah. I will go to 42s later though. The axles have a high scrub radius, so big tires like to rub frame...

My truck is being aimed at multi-purpose with a large emphasis on rock crawling and snow. I have 21" of clearance under the diffs for snow/rocks, and in rocks you need a ton of strength. So I am running mercedes unimog axles (~2 ton duty.. ) with tires from a 5-ton U.S. military truck (no flats...

oh ok. I will post up more pics of that. I took a ton. like 35 or so.

So nobody cares about tearing down a factory turbo motor with almost a quarter million miles and seeing the inside, but when someone buys JDM RAINGUARDS there are like 40 replies. WTF is this place, a community for mercedes owners?

Oh yeah. Those are only like 50 bucks. maybe I should get one. :naughty: I have a workbench! you can see it in the background of one of the shots.:icon_razz

Some of you may have seen my post about my project. I will spare you all the intense 4wd details. It is a big 4runner expedition-style recreational off-road vehicle. With my 7M-GTE from my supra (which I bought just for the engine, trans, TCCS, and seats). This car had 242,000 miles on it...

I have a question. How do you have a corolla that books at 17k? a new corolla S is only in the 16s....NEW. peace

wow, the fork pulled right off, and the tranny slid out easily! thanks guys!

I have NEVER heard of suck balogna. I appreciate the help all of you provided.

All the bolts are out, starter is out, clutch slave is taken off, tranny in nuetral. For some reason the tranny will only come about an inch off of the engine. IT has me completely furious. anyone know why this is happening. 89 supra turbo w/5speed

What is FTW? Thanks for all the comments guys. I will be happy to contribute anything I can technically.

Haha. It is driveable, but bad body damage in the rear with a salvage title. I bought it in that condition. I will run the 7mgte, with a r150 4runner tranny using a hybrid r154/r150 bellhousing, and then two transfer cases, 2 ton axles, ect. So it will be 5 speed. Here is my great Ma70...

Ok. everyone without an open mind needs to leave this thread. I bought a 1989 supra turbo with a targa top. I bought it for the engine for my 4runner. I was a long time sports car guy but i got sick of laws and trying to make time for legal racing, so now i am an off-road guy. But I...

Yep. I have never heard of it happening, but this is the correct explaination.
