I've also been trying to figure out what to do with my intake runners. I bought a bunch of sandpaper and also a Black & Decker Mouse sander and...
Finally got my parts from Driftmotion and time to install some of em last night. My wife and I just had a baby, so finding time to work on this...
Nice little build there. Love the color! I was wanting to do mine in a silver very similar, but I think I'll stick with the factory white....
How's this thing coming?
Are you wanting to know what trans to use or just if anyone has one? If you know what you want and can't find anyone who has it, try...
Been working on getting the motor built and everything cleaned up. Here are my intake runners so far. The shorter one is what I'm in the middle...
I figured this out pretty quickly, but I couldn't sign on all yesterday to update...weird. Anyway, there are two brass bushings that press into...
7MGTE oil pump block plug? I finally got my motor back to where I need it to start making progress. I've been fitting everything together and...
Ahhhhh...a frame table and a cool project to build on it. Looks like the beginnings of a cool mini truck. :waytogo:
Did you ever figure out how much a factory 8" will hold? I need to figure that out before I can finish my project.
Thanks Matt! I hope I'm building it right. I read enough 7MGTE stuff to where I know more about one than I do about my wife. :eyecrazy: I hope...
I HAVE been working on this thing, just not on the truck itself. Here are the wheels that were on it right before I bought it. I loved the way...
I've heard 10W-30 to start it up with and run it a minute or so. Next, drain it and add your synthetic. Then drain and add again after 500 miles...
Yeah I was thinking that had a newer rebuild for some reason. Hope your tuner place can get ya fixed up, by the way. I love seeing a fast...
What kind of lubricants are you running in everything? I hear a lot of different things to do when you start up the first time and then after so...
Yeah, I'll have the emissions on it to start out with. So you can buy that E-VAC Scavenger kit and weld it in your exhaust down pipe somewhere,...
Yeah, I read this post on Supraforums and it seems like the best way to vent is to the exhaust. Everyone seem to debate about it. 7mgte...
I probably won't be running really high boost anyway. If I ever decide to get crazy with it, I'll probably get a different turbo for it. Maybe a...
The more you can do on your own, the more you feel accomplished...at least that's the way I feel. 10 years ago, when I started building the 7M, I...
Sounds like you've got some serious plans for that thing. Do you do your own machining?
