BTW, i knew that the "w" stands for winter. But I was told that it acts like a 5 weight at cold temps and acts like a 50 weight at hot temps(also know now that this isnt the case). Well I guess I cant say this thread helped me at all since its about 50/50 on whether its good or bad for my car...

Someone told me that 5w-50 would be good for my motor cuz its a turbo motor and runs hotter than normal engines. So today I got some Syntec 5w-50(full synthetic) to put it the 7m. Was this a bad idea? I was later told that 50 weight would be too thick for normal driving conditions and it was...

Finally got the 7m dropped in the Supra and its pretty much just sitting in the engine bay not bolted in yet. It has no manifolds on it yet, just all the pumps on the front. Im getting ready to put it all together and was just wondering if any of you had any suggestions on what to look out for...

Alright, well Im getting ready to drop the 7m into my Supra and I looked in the TSRM to find out how to line up the distributor gear. It says look for a protrusion(spelling?) on one of the gear teeth and line it up with the notch on the housing. But....there is NO protrusion on any of my...

Alright so I took the intake manifolds off my motor to put on the new motor and there is about 1mm of black gritty sludge build up fullly coating the entire inside of the intake and the EGR was about 75% clogged. Ive tried using solvents, metal brushes, hell I even put one of the peices in the...

Sorry it doesnt even say the size on the exhaust housing, it roughly half the size of the compressor, or the average t3 size.

Has anyone ever purchased an engine from www.risingsunengines.com? I just bought a 7m-gte from them today and they seem pretty reputable. They brag more than most websites about the amount of testing they do on their engines and the kind of testing. Anyway, it was $1095 for the complete...

I have a Garrett T3/T04E turbo that I used for my s14 240sx and it worked great. I was just wondering if this would be a good turbo to use on the 7m or would the exhaust housing be too small? -60 trim T04E compressor wheel with a max flow rate of 53 lb/min -0.60 AR T04E compressor housing...

Well heres some pics for you guys. Notice the back cylinders are filled with a black fluid mixed with a gritty substance. Also look hard an you will see how oval the first cylinder is. WOOT! Like said before, I bought the car in this condition so dont flame me for keeping poor...

Nah, sorry I should have added this to my last post but i didnt think it would get any views. I bought the car in this condition so I have no idea how it ran before this. Its funny, it smells like he used gear oil in the engine but when you rub it between your fingers its sticky and not...

So I got the head off and at first glance everything looked fine. Until I once again put the breaker bar on the crank pulley and turned it over again. The very front piston stayed at the top while the rest turned easily. So i took a closer look at the piston and the cylinder is slightly ovaled...

What was he using to get the 1.14 Jiga Watts?

Haha, that isle was made by the devil himself

Uhh, I might also mention. When I took out the #5 spark plug there was a good amount of sand/gravel in the threads.

Well the coolant was a bit low and looked like it was rusty. But it wasnt anything I didnt expect from a car that was probably sitting for a year or so. I imagine the car did run before this; how? I have no idea. The clunk sounds like its coming from lower down in the motor around the crank. My...

Alright, well as you all know from my first post, I recently bought a 88 Supra with a seized engine. So I started to tear down the engine today, got the radiator out and put a breaker bar on the crank to see if it would turn at all. The engine will crank about half a rotation in each direction...

Heat sinking doesnt require air to be pushed constantly across it at all times in order for it to cool stuff down. Think of heat sinks on an amplifier for your stereo, they dont have air rushed over them constantly but they have heat sinks on them to give them more surface area to the air. I...

Hey I was just wondering how much you guys with turbo Supras insurance climbs compared to driving a non-turbo car. My supra has a NA motor but was originally a 7m-gte. It sucks I know because im going to get charged for having a turbo even though i dont. Maybe if I show them engine bay pictures...

I found a site the sells a 7m-ge for $400. This seems really cheap compared to most sites. I was wondering if anyone has done business with these people before? Are they reputable? or is there usually a rule of thumb that the cheaper the engine, the worse condition its probably in? Heres the...

IMO the first three strikes you listed arent really strikes for me. I bought a supra cuz i just love them whether its an auto, NA, or any style. I just feel good rollin in it <---(although it doesnt do much of that at all atm). But I have a W58 ready to drop in it off my mk2 beater thats been...
