1. if your not sure entirely sure on the history of your motor, the safest thing to start with is a rebuild.

Yeah that's basically what I thought but many people have been running 11s with a 7MGTE with stock internals so I just wanted to know like the best and most reliable ways to make an 11 second 7MGTE SUPRA lol

You shouldn't have a problem with a proper clutch and knowing when to shift. He is just pissed that Shep transmissions cost a lot.
If he rags on you too much, ask him if he took his crank for a walk recently:sarcasm:



Shep trannys are expensive but there worth every penny!
Taking his crank for a walk.... only on 7 bolt motors,
1st gens talons/eclipse/laser are 6 bolts, they don't crankwalk,
some 1st gens are 7 bolts though, but i have never seen one crankwalk yet,
the only 7 bolts that i have seen crankwalk is the 2nd gens (95 -99),
trust me on this, i have own 7 of them.

just read the thread two below this... tyler (tkmk3) runs 11's in his 5spd 7m mk3, at full weight, and on street legal tires. he details most of his mods in the thread. that will pretty much answer your question sir.

i wouldnt use the words "many people have been running 11's" in a full weight mark3 .Takes a fair bit of know how coupled with some great driving and a few dollars all rolled in one.Any reason why you want to go 11"?why not set the bar a bit lower and make your first goal 13 sec and work on that time, certainly be less frustrating and by the time your looking at 11 seconds youll find your car will be well and truly ready for your big goal.

yeah my friends talon is actually a 2nd gen

I've read that thread and its cool but I just want to get something out of evryone so I know everyone's opinions and the way other people have gotten into the 11s

Actually im not exactly planning to go straight from stock to 11 seconds because I'd probably die the next day:p I just wanted to know because if I buy parts I'd rather buy the parts required for 11 seconds rather than buying crappy parts now and than buying a whole new set of parts for my next goal.

Yep, alll this i know. Im helping boostinsupragirl swap her 600whp 1g front wheel motor into her newly acquired 1g all wheel shell, its all in my garage right now.

It is still possible to crank walk any motor, its just more likely with the 7 bolt.

Back on topic
If/when I go auto, I would like to see 11s on pump and it appears to be possible with my next setup.

Yeah I would actually want to run those times on pump gas as well cause that's obviously better lolll. Let us know how that project/build goes:D

Hopefully I'll be able to hit a high 11 with the r154 on pump gas, and it is possible. Ill settle for a 12.2 tho.

ohh aryte and is your R154 transmission stock? Because my friend, an Eagle Talon owner, was telling me how theres no way I can run 11 seconds on a stock R154 transmission

tell your friend to take his crank for a walk... unless it already took itself. :sarcasm:

start by buying supporting mods, stuff that will help you now and be just as useful when you want to do 11's. example: 3in exhaust, intake, intercooler, boost, water and oil temp, and wideband a/f gauges, strong clutch, fuel injectors, fuel tuning management, and when you're ready, all you'll really need is a bigger turbo.
