7MGTE Failure?? Well, Kinda

[@cameronschnieders8282]

Man this is absolutely my favorite 7MGTE build, I literally have the exact same car just need to rebuild it. I blew the motor a while ago but refuse to swap it and you’ve given me nothing but hope. Thank you sir

[@DanaAnthonyHoeft]

Glad it can be of some motivational help. The 7M isnt dead yet. We are just beginning

[@lockjawjak]

Just took the engine out my my turbo A supra, she was fine but I am fixing some minor oil leaks and doing some sump mods + oil accumulator, slutch/flywheel and cams. Long live the 7M! I am always happy to see an update on this car, kudos to you for keeping it going

[@DanaAnthonyHoeft]

Sounds deadly man. Turbo A is the only model of a70 I have not owned. Would love on in the future.

I found one last week at auction in Japan. I will look up the sold price, if it sold.

[@robgmechanic7509]

Can't wait to see the tear down and update on engine see what was the cause of the problem

[@DanaAnthonyHoeft]

We will see soon (ish)

[@beatboxingboy1]

You've been running stock mains for this long?! Wow! Really cool car man. Hopefull you'll show the rebuild process!

[@DanaAnthonyHoeft]

Yes sir stock mains at 1000+ haha playing with fire for sure

[@Shwalker07]

7m FTW. Do you think about doing the quake mod with the ARP inserts on the cylinder head during the rebuild?

[@DanaAnthonyHoeft]

I am not sure honestly yet. I will be entertaining all proven methods of adding strength and reliability for sure tho

[@brandonmcconkey]

I swear I followed this car’s build a long time ago. Was it owned by someone named Duane (for whatever that’s the name come to mind) and documented on a forum? Anyway, absolutely incredible build, and if you ever entertain the idea of selling it I’d love the chance to buy it.

[@DanaAnthonyHoeft]

A long time ago maybe. Its not the same car today. Too many updates and changes to list. Its not comparable anymore.

[@shnill]

Is flat shift bad on a new R154? Can it handle it?

[@DanaAnthonyHoeft]

well... lol its handled it so far haha

[@frun4]

Thats a bummer. Hopefully is it just rings from old age. What all have you changed since owning it?

[@DanaAnthonyHoeft]

Its a big list, Bottom end now, Trans, Diff and Subframe, Clutches, basic stuff like that. Wiring harnesses revised and some of it has already been replaced mil-spec stuff, Lots and Lots of little things like FIA harnesses and wheel, in-tank pump and the main 2345a ect

[@marcmann982]

Sucks but that motor has been running a thousand horsepower for what 15 years? It was probably just due time for a rebuild. But regardless we can rebuild it.. faster, stronger, more intelligent LOL

[@DanaAnthonyHoeft]

And it will be haha. Its going to be a good time for sure. I am sort of excited haha

[@marcmann982]

@@DanaAnthonyHoeft excited to see what comes of it. Hopefully we'll have my thousand build up soon too

[@DanaAnthonyHoeft]

@@marcmann982 awesome, cant wait to see that up and running
