Catch can setup on my 7M Supra 

Thanks for keeping it 7m . Love this motor

Thanks man , great info ! Good to see you back .

It is important to note that some of the catch cans that come with the metal oil-air separator filter (looks like a bunch of tiny metal balls compressed into a disc) are not suitable to be used as your only vent to atmosphere setup as they are too restrictive when used to vent to atmosphere and will cause a small pressure build up in the crank case. Those type of cans are only usable if plumbed into the more OEM PCV setups where the intake manifold is sucking in crank case air, I havent tested if a pre-turbo pipe vent provides enough suction for that type of filter catch can but I doubt it. Cans with steel wool baffling etc are fine but yeah, I had a friend delete their PCV system using one of those cans and had it vent to atmo and it caused oil to push past the turbo seals due to the crank case pressure build up when on boost :/ I still fully support deleting OEM PCV setups as they are purely for emmisions control and are only harmful to your engine by allowing oil back into the intake which is never a good thing. Vent to atmo is the way!

I actually bought a 2j for mine, but I decided to keep the 7m and use the 2j for something down the road. New subscriber, btw. And my Supra is a 1990.

hey man glad I found your channel , I'm going to be dropping a turbo in my sons "88 Supra which is also a 7MGE , just collecting bits and pieces atm but ill certainly be watching your vids and I'm about to fit a pressure regulator and a catch can to so thanks for sharing your experiences along the way

Speaking of oil leaking out the front of the cam covers, for 6 years I had a leak at the front that I always thought was the cam seals, I ended up giving up on it until I realised on the last strip down I did of the engine that you have to put a dab of rtv under the front cam cap as it has pressurised oil sealing ally-ally outside of any seals >_< I had a good laugh when I figured that out

I am a boilermaker and can weld ally easily but I still cannot understand why people weld bungs on the covers instead of tapping them to take a fitting! It is so much more serviceable to have it tapped then welded on, not to mention way quicker and easier and doable by anyone. Good stuff!

I like the vids bro I have a 91 with a 2jzge swap I'm slowly putting together

How’d you shave the GTE valve cover?
