Treat that external rust on the seal line whilst you have it out :).
Internally if you want to clean it out, use a phosphoric acid/water mix. It will treat any internal rust that could be hidden. Once you have drained and rinsed, put some methylated spirits in there to get rid of any remaining moisture.
Rob W i might use e85 to clean it.. i dont think i need any water mixtures in there.
Hell yeah that’s a drain plug. Makes life easier
brendan allredbrendan now i know
Thx for the info on doing mine and was just going to find out, ha ha now I don't have to hope.
Ive been building and modify mk3 turbos supra for over 30yrs and learned alot about fuel and electrical on them.Make sure you bypass that old fuel pump resistor so you will have full voltage with no drops and with todays very high powered pumps pull alot more amps so add your fresh upgraded wiring ,relay and protection will save you believe me. Also mk3 chassis really respond good to front and rear bracing specially when lowered . 30yr old flex and good power can be hard on things trying to put it to the wheels on Supras
Darnell Smith thank you for the good feedback. But yes bypassing the resistor was gonna happen regardless. Gotta wire it to the ecu and also the relay board i created. Maybe after i refinish the brace itl look better
I love all of your videos, I have the love for the MA70. My dad gave me his, I had to rebuild the w58 and decide to restore it. Keep up with the videos.
Niceee dont get rid of that thing they are going up in value
Hell ya, need to drop the tank on my old mk3 some day
Dad got a good laugh out of how you only expected a head gasket change, you can sell that car tomorrow and the next guy buying it will wind up putting more money into it than you did and so on down the line. Break cleaner would work, plus it evaporates good too
righttt.. its a never ended story
The fueling is one system you want to give yourself lots of headroom. Don't want the hard lines to become an immediate limiter similarly to the current pump
Howard Hutchinson local buddy did 900hp on oem lines, so my 600-650 goal would not be a problem
definitely informative video man, I need to do it to mine. Thank you... will be following your future fuel videos
Patrick Ukemi thank you for watching man
That trunk cut out saves a helluva lot of time i see.
akirony yea man it does.. i know mines ugly but i can make it look nicer later on
Think you could use a CLR mixture and slosh around in the tank to clean it out?? @LFATV
Wildin on the Stash😎
Flippin Joe im going for the Tiger King look lmao
Thanks for the video!! Doing a 2jz swap on a mk3 picked up the shell in January and I've been working on the prep for the swap during quarantine. This is on my to do list and now I've got a reason to go for it!! Any idea what fuel pump you'd recommend for 700cc injectors? Still planning out my build.
Nick Leland a single 450 pump should be inexpensive and good
Thanks for this video!
Thank you for watching
Damn 20 bucks! haven't looked into those for the x8. Polish and clear coat it or match the blue lettering maybe. or black and put a tough custom decal in the middle
Nikbawkur yea might do wrinkled black
Honestly bro I think it depends on how you are going to drive the car. If you decide to take it to the track, slap that brace on and take it back off when your done. I think it’ll look nice if you refinish it.
brendan allredbrendan yea i might refinish it and see how it looks then
Do me a favor. Before you sell that brace install it on your car and take it for a spin. I've used one for over 20 years on my Supra and it makes a big difference. The difference between your car and mine though is that you've done your bushings and I haven't. I think you will be impressed...jus sayinn
Rhoan Burnard thank you for the feedback. I think its just the ugly paint on it that made it like that
I have to agree it does make it stiffer. Does not do much for straight line and drag racing
I have done this like 3 times with one of my mk3's 😂😂 and two on the other one😂 lot of cursing was involved in the process lol
Joel Ayala ayyy thats part of the process.. i juat never record the curse words because of youtube lmao
I was told to come here for 7MGTE build stuff and such, I'm looking at getting a 7M-GTE supra and want to start with fixing any reliability issues I know about the HG one but is there anymore I should look for, and tips n tricks before I get into this?, I am budgeting this and this will be my first project car.
Ogg1es Plays head gasket, and oil pressure issues are the biggest thing. Look through my channel and watch the “7MGTE in 2 days” video
Fuel tank is easily cleaned, there is a drain hole on the underside of the tank, you don't need to drop it unless you're changing the fuel pump out, I drained my tank 2 years ago, you should have seen how ugly that gas was. That is the drain plug !
yea but draining the fuel doesnt mean itl clean everything.. from looking in the inside once the tank was down and all the fuel out you can clearly see a bunch of residue on the baffles and bottom of the tank from years of normal octane fuel. so im glad its out of the car for the moment
@@-LFATV Set the tank up on a pair of saw horses and rise it out good with E85, open the drain plu on the bottom of the tank, should take you much time at all
@@oveidasinclair982 yea thats wat ill be doing
@@oveidasinclair982 e85 helps to clean the tank?
@@Juan-ic5wv Figure it's 85% alcohol, I would use brake cleaner in a spray can, it evaporates even quicker than E85
I know its a little late but if you want to remove rust from under the car, you could make a "DIY sand blaster"
My car doesnt have rust though
I never said it did, But if you ever want to clean up the under side and repaint to protect it even more, sand/media blasting is a good, quick way to do so. It may have just been the way it looked on the video but it looked like there was a little surface rust on the fuel tank and very little on the rear subframe/diff area
@@Josh.Howard2019 ahhh gotcha my apologies. But yea on the tank i did clean it up and re touched it with rust oleum black wrinkle paint
what size/spec wheels are those?
I'm also building a 7mgte and putting it into a none turbo Supra so q & a would be nice
Boosted Limits ask away
@@-LFATV can I contact you through some other way besides CZcams ?
Boosted Limits my ig and fb are always in the description sir
Hey man I'm loving the videos! I have my eye on an 88 MK3 Supra Turbo 7M-GTE for $7,600. 170xxxxxx km. Only thing that sucks is that it's an automatic 😬.
How much money would you say you spent on this beauty roughly since you bought it?
Monty Fehr i gotta say thats way too much money! I wouldnt spend more there $3000 for an automatic one. And idk
Hard lines in the long term are going to be a restriction on the fuel system for making horsepower. Best just to get it over with now. I know it sucks its lots of $$$ but in long run you'll be happier.
justforkiks29 only reason why i even thought about hard lines was because sr-fab (local guy) made 900ish hp on oem hardlines
@@-LFATV that's crazy. I never heard of anyone making over 5-600 on hardlines.
justforkiks29 yup. Same thing i thought
It’s because the feed is like 3/8 that’s 6an
hondatech5000 5/16s actually but yea pretty much same thing an6
Love your supra =) I'm eyeballing a red 87' down my street, it's in pretty bad condition but I'm willing to fix it up =)
KirkHammettsWahPedal low ball em lol
I had my first one for 4 years before it ran it was 2 more before it was dialed in and running good then I bought a really nice one about 8 years ago and swapped in my sorted out 18psi gte 5speed... point being get started, it may take a while but if you keep at it you can have one.
@@hondatech5000 thanks! =)
I'm trying to out my tank in rn.do you remember which line went from the fuel pump hanger.to the short hard line or longer hardline on the car?
2jza70 from left to right looking towards the front of the vehicle. 1 far left feed. 2 middle return, 3 right vent
Thanks man I appreciate you !
I would run AN lines if you are comparing the stock hardlines. I ordered all my fittings and AN6 lines from anfittingsdirect . c0m and I was very happy with the quality of everything. They also sell a pressure test kit that uses compressed air so you can test all the AN lines you make at a higher pressure to make sure there is no leaks before you install them on the vehicle.
If you go with AN lines you should check to make sure your lines are PTFE so you do not get fuel smells through the hoses because some AN hoses will do that especially with E85 and hot days.
Shwalker07 yea man ptfe would be the only way to go aftermarket. The only reason why i considered oem hardlines was because a local buddy (sr-fab) did 900ish hp on them..
I have a 87 Supra that needs engine work. Do you do work on other peoples cars? What state are you in?
Manuel Lopez no i dont bro im not really a mechanic im just learning in my own project
Thats how much that knock off strut bar costs on ebay. Thats a wuhan chinese strut bar.
Ducati Guy $20??? If thats the case im sure there would be wayyyy more out there
Man corona whooping our ass #openbarbershopsagain 😂😂😂
bro i am a Barber lol.. i just dont wanna cut it to go with the flow lol
LFATV lol no doubt bro Nd thanks for keeping the 7m alive
Aye what wheels do you have on you’re supra ?
esm wheels
LFATV how much did you had to roll you’re fenders a lot or just the edge flatten ?
@@Rhodeo alot bro
LFATV damn so if I went 18x9.5 all around would that be good ?
Sc update?
YungYeev sc is my daily nothings changed with that bad boy
LFATV subbed. Just got this sc400 ‘92 all stock. Coilovers are my first mod but what’s a list of things I can do for more hp? Any advice is appreciated!
YungYeev theres not much aftermarket support for the sc400s tbh. Maybe a name brand cold air intake, and a full exhaust
LFATV i after I get cold air intake I was thinking of trying to turbo it, thoughts?
YungYeev go for it
Thoes are not for looks Jefe!
Wat?
@@-LFATV Upper strut bars or Upper Sway bars as they are known in the aftermarket world, are extremely useful in improving handling in sports cars specialluly heavy sports cars such as ours (just over 3700 lbs). The sway bar makes the front end suspention feel way more planted and less like a limb pecker.
Im sure you probably already know all of this, but here it is. Me personally, I would have repainted the thing and install it, and never even think of how it looks because, what matters when you own a Supra is what it feels when you are behind the wheel going down the road and carving thoes corners! Take that with a grain of salt! I have one upfront and also looking for a rear upper strut bar for my MK3.
@@mikemakesandfixes2070 yea this is true. its definitely going on the car
