Well I was banned for awhile for being an idiot, I have since matured a bit and am back with a strong running 7M.
The current specs are.
7MGTE
ROSS pistons that I had teflon coated
Eagle Rods
Zero balanced rotating assembly
-8AN oil feed line
10MM shim in oil pump
.00235" clearance on the bearings
.006" piston clearance
.017" top ring gap
.022" middle ring gap
Clevitte 77 bearings
All new OEM toyota seals
Hand Ported Head
COMP BBC springs
Stock Cams
Stock Valves
Custom hand built FFIM
Custom Hand built T4 exhaust manifold
Q45 throttle body
Ford 1600CC injectors
Custom machined -10AN Fuel rail
Custom crank case vent -12AN
Custom wire harness
44MM wastegate
Custom COMP Turbo 74MM compressor wheel MX trim exhaust wheel .81AR exhaust Ceramic ball bearing with an aluminum center section
Aeromotive Fuel pressure regulator
AEM EMS sequential injection and multiplex delete using a DH61 ignitor
Stock Coils
NGK spark plugs and wires Copper plugs FTW!
E85 fuel
HKS 2.0mm stopper on use #4!
ARP Head studs
Clutchmasters stage V clutch 4 puck unsprung with a 3200lb pressure plate
Plus lots of other little things here and there.
I run 20W50 oil I don't care about the argument of thin oil being better for startup this isn't a toyota corolla and I run it hard. Thin oil kills engines as does the new blend of mobil 1 synthetic. I have seen it happen on the dyno and pulled apart an engine that failed due to the new mobil 1 blend. (low hp applications need not apply)
I currently DAILY DRIVE this setup and have had no issues with it what soever once I had it setup.
I personally tune this car, and built the engine, and supporting mods with exception of the exhaust manifold as I got a great deal on it.
I have not yet hit the dyno with the car to tune it to it's full potential because of financial inadequacies in my tight 22yr old college student budget. I will be dyno tuning it in a couple weeks though as I am renting a dyno and hosting a dyno day.
At the track I ran a 12.7 at 125.85 mph with a terrible 2.4 60ft due to my old street tires not gripping at all on 24psi of boost.
I run the 24psi of boost daily and have turned it up to 30psi to make sure my afrs are good to that point.
The car is an absolute blast to drive the way it is setup right now, I can break the tires loose going straight at pretty much any speed right now, which I think is a good indicator of needing better rubbers :cry: (more money).
Well there you have a basic run down of my setup so here are some pics and a couple of videos.

The plans for the car are now, replace my front brake rotors with something that isn't completely screwed from countless 150mph to 50mph slow down runs, and then some better tires for the back, then dyno day.
This winter I am likely going to part out all my 7M stuff and build an LQ4 with a forged rotating assembly and some CNC ported heads with fuel and turbo to support 1000rwhp on pump gas and 1200-1500hp on E85.
In the end I want a car I can just go out to turn the key and have a monster that I can really abuse at the track and drive it home.
