My supra buddy isn't answering his texts so I need to get some answers from here!
Still making progress on the car putting the 7mgte in mine. Head and block seperated sending the head in tomorrow to get checked, cleaned, new seals all that. Going to order a felpro head gaskets and arp head stud kit. For other gaskets, my dad has a friend who is a head toyota mechanic and he's going to help us. He gave it a good look and says all the gaskets have been replaced already, so we're only going to replace ones we've taken off. Where do you recommend to get those? Just get individual gaskets from Toyota? Probably only need like 5-8 or so.
Also fuel pump, I've heard it's terrible to use an old tired na fuel pump on a freshened up turbo engine... Doing reading seems more complicated than I thought. Are there no pumps that we can just pull the one out of the tank and replace it with aftermarket and get a pressure regulator? Supra buddy said something about a stealth aeromotive pump as well... Also I don't want to do this improperly to lose any MPGs, it is MY daily driver BUT I can easily borrow family cars if something happens.
As well as upgrades we don't really have any money for them right now, the only thing probably going in with the engine is a 3" downpipe from driftmotion, as well as intake and it already has a full length 3". With stock everything else basically. Future plans are boost controller, Intercooler, 57trim ct26 upgrade from DM and AFM and injectors with maftpro or a tune or something but that's quite a bit down the line anyways.
