Engine: 7MGTE
Exhaust: 2.5' dump pipe turbo back straight through exhaust | hi-flo cat and muffler
Suspension: low king springs front and rear
Wheels: volk challenge sf zeros rear 275's 18x10 front 235's 18x9
Modifications: 7MGTE swap from standard 7MGE. Rebuilt 7MGTE and stroked to 3.1L | Metal Head Gasket/ARP studs/bolts | TRD Group A cams 288/288 12mm lift | Oversized forged pistons | adjustable cam gears |
: LSD Diff
: New fuel tank
: Replaced pads & rotors all around
Stereo Audio / Visual: JVC headunit , 2 boxed 6x9's
Estimated Power: 200rwkw
Estimated Power Target: 350rwkw on a safe tune, 400rwkw on 20psi
-I used forged pistons that where over sized which meant I had to bore and hone the 7m out to just under 3.1L
-I used the group A TRD cams with 288intake 288 exhaust with insanely high 12mm lift (very rough idle)
-Installed a metal head gasket with ARP studs/bolts and torqued to 110nm after the head was decked
I kept the stock rods as I felt they where enough for my purpose
-Installed an lsd diff so I could get the power to both wheels
-All new brakes(rotors and pads all around)
-New fuel tank
The only part of the mk3 design that I did not agree with and thought looked outdated where the pre89 tail lights and the ugly stock sawblades. I took the tail lights from a later model mk3 and fit them on to give it a more "updated" look.
Ive replaced the amber indicators with clear ones
Ive also fit Volk Racing Sf Challenge Zero that cost me quite a bit but with 275's 18x10 in the rear and 235's 18x9 in the front
By March this year I hope to have the r154 and haltech installed and running 300kw on a safe tune. As it stands the engine has only done 1200km.I have completed running it in and it is set at stock boost. Once the vacuum lines and the transmission is fixed I plan to turn up the boost to as much as the stock intercooler and ct26 will allow. Once they are maxed and Im confidant the engine can hold the power I plan to throw on a gt35r, 1000cc injectors,intercooler, 400lph walboro furl pump and see what numbers I can reach on the dyno. Id be more then happy using it as my daily and holding 300rwkw reliably on safe boost.
Toyota badge removed, TRD badge put in place, TRD oil cap , painted pod filter cover , removed timing cover(due to be replaced with carbon fibre timing cover)
Painted side strips yesterday
Added 3.0L turbo badge in rear. This is the absolute most number of badges I will put on my car
Most recent pic taken yesterday at Brighton le sands 22/01/2012 :
As funds allow I plan to swap the r154 in , install and tune the computer and slam it with some megan ez streets. Then the real fun begins

Great to see you keeping it correct with the original engine rather than just dumping a 2JZ in it.
7m luurv all the way
everyones doing 2 and 1 jz swaps, wanted to do something a bit different. Was thinking of going 1.5 J when I spun a rod bearing last year but my mate had the forgies and cams for the 7m ready to go , so I took care of the HG issues these engines are famous for and built it to withstand some real power.QUOTE (176OES @ Jan 26 2012, 04:35 PM)Too many badges on the back
Coming along nicely though
Its the way I prefer it.Initially came with the "toyota supra"and "3.0L i" badge. Just replaced the 3.0i with a 3.0L turbo badge and added a TRD one above it. This is the absolute maximum number of badges I ever intend to put on the car but I think it looks good as it stands now.QUOTE (_Ben @ Jan 26 2012, 12:10 PM)Needs more low, but pretty cool otherwise. I like the clear indicators at the front
Definitely needs to be lower. Fixing up more important issues up first but coil overs are on the way. Clear indicators definitely give it a cleaner appearance. Clear side repeaters are on the way.QUOTE (skitta @ Jan 26 2012, 02:22 PM)front looks scmick. keen to see quarter time once boost is wound up
Ultimately I hope to get into the low 10's however with a car this heavy its going to be hard. I want to keep it as comfortable as possible though so I kept air-con , will probably keep my rear seats and not remove to much else to shed weight. I intend it to be a daily,but I want to have the power to put most in my rear view mirror on the streets. Doubt it will ever see the track...i guess only time will tell....
Oh and sorry about the pics I know there are two of some and a really small one at the end for some reason. No idea why this is happening , the attachment uploader is f*cked. 26th January 2012 - 04:59 PM

aloshanPost #17QUOTE (srhead @ Jan 27 2012, 09:15 AM)hey mate, your on boost as well? good to see you showing this car off, becoming a bigger fan of this supra shap eery day, ps if you want to sell me your cams let me know ??? lol maybe we could swap my cams and hks fcon-v?
hey man , yeah been on boost for awhile, mostly as a browser though. Lol , you really like those cams hey-they are pretty rare , any luck with yahoo japan auctions? Still not sure if they are the best for street as I see most of the power after 3500 revs,but after that it just keeps on pulling to red line in every gear... I havnt tuned it though.
If I had my cams out I would swap you for your cams + the fcon but its all in there now and unless something goes drastically wrong, I dont see myself rebuilding this 7m again. If I ever do decide to sell them I'l let you know

aloshanPost #23installed Invidia RS-R straight through 3inch exhaust with custom 3inch dump pipe. Stock exhaust was quite restrictive + this gives it a nice deep growl as well
Difference between 3inch and stock exhaust diameter :
new turbo arrived today, installing it this Saturday:
