Car died,what to do next!!! life story inside

[Kckazdude]

Enough of the SR20/240SX talk already! We are on a MK III Supra forum for krissakes! j/k :evil2: :icon_razz

That parts/donor car is an excellent find. Wish I could get one in similar fashion for my needs. Good luck with the near future build.

Sell the supra, get something more reliable.

I would change and shim the oil pump along with new bearings and a MHG.

I would retire the 7m and get a JZ

Engine is sittin in the car.mostly everything hooked up top and bottom side.jus gotta put radiator,and hardpipes back on ,fill fluids,hook up electronics inside,.....and hope i have all wires connected when i try to start it!

 

[Squid699]

lol...all it takes is one to keep the car from running.......trust me.

 

[WonIt]

squid,what was wrong with your car that it kept poppin efi fuses? never did hear anything else about that...

 

[Squid699]

It only popped the one. Never did find a definitive reason.....i chalk it up to '7m-itis'

 

[WonIt]

gonna be startin my car up today.hopefully i dont pop any fuses.

 

[WonIt]

got the car running today.drives ok,until you get to 45oo-5000rpm,kinda feels like it has no power,like somthin holding it back. no codes,but im sure i will be tryin to figure out what the problem is,also i stopped at the store on the way home,came back out and saw a puddle of coolant under the car

when i popped the hood i saw coolant dripping from the intake plenum,kinda in the middle of it...couldnt tell exactly what it was dripping from,but definatly dripping from plenum area.

no smoke,but crank seal is gone.has a steady drip frk there when car is running,gotta replace that also i guess...all in all still pulls a helluva lot harder than the auto.

so,i gotta fix all those things mentioned,and put my interior back together dash and whatnot is still pulled apart.car is pissin me off a little.has me thinking about selling it.....more than likely not,but possibly

Check the coolant lines going to the throttle body and the ISC valve. Sounds like one has a crack or isn't hooked up.
