I Was Wondering What the 7mgte was capable of on a completely stock engine i know it has a fuel cut off at 8psi someone said to get a HKS fuel cut off defencer or something i was wondering if i really needed that or i could just get a Apexi SAFC2

Sorry for this lame question probably asked many time but i could not find it in this forum..

Also another thing is is there a page displaying steps of Modding your Vehicle Like By Horsepower Gain what Should be required to Have Been done to your vehicle..?

Many Many Thanks,
Shoong

Wrong page Like next step would be For example Lex AFM and 550cc Injectors or something adds This amount of HP and So forth To the exhaust etc....

Also Another Question What i MAX Boost pressure Can i Run With stock AFM and Injectors?What Would i Need?[BUMP]

12psi on a stock turbo. There is no MAX BOOST on any motor. Its all about maintance. I personnaly wouldnt turn the boost up from stock untill you do some things to your engine. Replace worn hoses, belts and gaskets. The head gaskets on these cars do tend to fail at higher horsepower levels, but they arnt hard to replace.

With a lex AFM and 550cc injector, the possibilites are endless interms of PSI on the stock turbo and im sure you could see 20 PSI. At that point the turbo becomes inefficient, and is mostly flowing hot-air.

6.7 psi max.

Stay away from Fuel Cut Defencers until you understand the full ramifications of what they are and what they are capable of doing to your motor if you put one on your car unprepared.

YES you do. A lex afm allows more air into your engine. With that, youll need more fuel.

A lex afm without 550's, or jsut using a fuel cut defencer can lead to a melted piston very quickly.

The stock 440's shouldnt go past 14 PSI....

Oh Well I Got a question Maybe you can answer since you seem to have alot of knowledge about the supra and i just got it like a couple weeks ago...

Well here it is.. i was driving and all of a sudden my whole car disappeared in smoke. all i know is that i had a leaking head gasket im guessing its blown but when i stopped and parked it i opened the engine bay the bay was covered with oil or some liquid but when i checked my oil it was full... what could this be?

Thanks again

Check the hose on the back of the head, it's a 90 degree black rubber hose, if it didn't burst, then you better go ahead and replace it now, along with the fitting it's connected too if it's erroded (most likely). That one is bad about going out if it's the original one. You will overheat very fast if that one goes.

I suggest parking your car for now and start on basic maintenance because from what you've said, it's got some issues and needs some TLC. Remember, this car is old, parts need to replaced: Start with Rubber hoses, check them for cracks, dryness, etc. Squeeze them, inspect them carefully, it they look bad at all, replace them with genuine Toyota parts. That's about the only place as of right now to get replacement parts for the Supra when it comes to hoses.

You can replace the Vacuum hoses (all of them, you should do this now as well) with some thick silicone hose, or new rubber hose will do.

Belts, replace them.

Your clutch fan, search on this site for a thread detailing how to rebuild it, yours probably needs it.

Check the radiator to make sure it's not blocked or clogged anywheres, have a radiator shop do this. If it's corroded, replace it with a factory type replacement, or an aftermarket Aluminum radiator (I would personally do this). DO NOT use regular coolant from Wal-Mart in the motor, buy some coolant flush and run it through the motor. Then use either Genuine Red Toyota Coolant, or a HOAT type coolant, google that one for clarification.

Replace the t-stat with a Toyota 190 degree t-stat, or a Stant Superstat (you can get by with a 180 degree one, but it's not going to make the car run cooler, just take longer to heat up to operating temps, which can be a bad thing if you only make short trips in the car).

Re-torque the head bolts to 72 ft/lbs, first crack them loose per TSRM specs, then Re-torque them in the correct order.

Do these things first, this should keep you busy for a while and your wallet empty. DO NOT start modding the car, it will bite you in the ass. Don't drive it hard, in fact, hardly drive it until you've done ALL of the above. Trust me, you will thank me later. ;)
