This looks great dude! Where did you get the TRD spoiler from please? I'm contemplating one for my GT4, but not having much luck finding one at all!

Thanks bud.

id also like to know about the spoiler. how off are the bolt holes?

I'm still not decided yet. I wanted to supercharge it, but now I'm more inclined to go turbo. But for the start, general repair and cleaning of the engine and its parts is enough



Thanks pal! I bought the TRD wing on e-bay in 2011 from Japan. It was a good luck and it fit into my project very well Someone from 6gc.net asked me about it a few months ago and since then I couldn't find other one



I can't find my records about measuring of the bolt holes. Unfortunately the holes were different from the ones for the euro style spoiler. And I'm affraid that it's also different from GT4 wing. The rear screws are going upright to the trunk lid, but the front ones are going to the lid under different angle. You have to drill an oval hole.
If I find my records or I'll manipulate with the wing, I'll measure it again and will let you know.

Because of your cad i want a trd. When i finish my build ill give ya some tips and tricks. Supercharger is alot of custom stuff. Read aj's thread in forced induction. Btw i just drove to his house today and loaded up some stuff. Stay tuned in my thread.

Of course I'm very happy that my car inspired someone to search for the TRD wing I hope you'll get lucky to find one in good condition. I suggest to search in Japan, GB or Cyprus. I'll stay tuned Thanks

First important parts for the rebuild are home. The next would be the ECU and then... ?

Shinny! Looks like bundles of moneys. What rods are you going to use?

Shinny! Looks like bundles of moneys. What rods are you going to use?

The best pistons Arias, I use that for many year, unbrekable.

I also ordered red aluminum wheel nuts (not installed yet) and received the branded kick panels from Vincent (already installed, thanks )


Hey man take care with this nuts, I use that, and I went a wheel. And other friend had the same problem

The setup must be reliable and these pistons were recommended to me by a friend as the best solution. Regarding the rods, I'm not decided yet. The motor mechanic told me, that the stock ones are good enough for 200 Hp so I may stay stock here.




Thanks, the more satisfied users I know, the most I'm satisfied with the choose
What does it mean "went a wheel" ? Does it mean you lost the wheel???

I've heard a lot of bad reviews about these nuts. Whatever you do do not overtighten them or they've got a habit of shearing the thread which as I'm sure you can imagine isn't a good thing

Well that doesen't sound too good Now I don't have the balls to install it. Thanks for the warning.

Last week I received more parts to my project. After some mistake of the USPS who directed the package to Ireland instead of Czech republic I received the package with ARP bolts. A few days after this I received the forged Spool conrods from Australia (see pictures below). Now I'm waiting for the ARP flywheel bolts and trying to find good clutch suitable for 250 hp's, though the aimed power wold be a bit lower. As the crankshaft is quit old (ca 115 ths miles) a new one from Toyota had to be ordered. Gaskets would be also from Toyota and I hope, that soon I'll have all the parts necessary to close the engine

Here are some parts prepared for the project:


The crank, flywheel and the pulley were balanced and flywheel skimmed



A few pictures from polishing of the engine head cover:

The valve cover is looking great!!

LOL sooo much toyota packaging!!!!

all that for a 7a

....yes, and it was still not enough

The turbine arrived today, the uprated clutch and fuel injectors are on its way to me.
The last few days I was choosing the bov. My favorite for now is HKS SSQV.

One more package with parts from Toyota dealer

what are your power goals for the 7a?
