It’s 2023 and this is still by far one of my favorite car videos on the internet (and fave cars!). So glad I found your channel so many years ago Marcus, thank you for all that you and your team do. Also jeez has time flown by, you look so young in this lol
lol Golf Wang no. People love showing off their cars and we've built up a solid reputation, having driven many 700+hp cars. People contact us every week asking us to drive and film their cars.
I remember when I had a MK3 Supra, being on the forums and seeing Duane's car in magazine's was a HUGE thing. Everyone knew about MK4s but MK3s were a pretty nice car as well. Glad he is still representing the MK3 community well. Respect!
Coming into this vid i was really hoping that the engine was a 7m, and then when I saw that it was I flipped! Glad to see somebody pushing big numbers with that engine, mad props to you!
Hell just rebuild it with built interanls(500usd and whats 500 usd on top of a transmission that even used is 2400 (I bought a brand new one from drift motion for 3400 after all options selected) and your r154 will hold damn near anything you throw at it it just matters how you drive it if your banging gears launching all the time your gonna break things but if your chill with it it'll last 60-70k miles easily and reliable
This is literally the perfect mk3. I bow down to you Duane. And I totally agree, as wicked as the mk4 is, there's just something about the mk3 that makes it look and feel special. I could only hope to get to that level one day with my mk3. Maybe a smaller turbo just to remove abit of lag, I'd gladly sacrifice some top end HP for that. Or if I wanted to go flamboyant, I'd use the HKS T51R. Although laggy, it is by far the most intoxicating sounding turbo there is as far as I'm concerned. That paired with the glorious burble and scream of a 7M, and you've got yourself a symphony.
Go for a ball bearing turbo then the 7m must haves (arp's ,metal hg etc) then get a better intake manifold (front facing like the jz's) ,motec ,hks 264 or 272's ,fuel and if u have the money a Lil head work. Then do brakes (baaaad fade over 100 on stock) even just drilled n slotted rotate make a big dif if your on a budget and then later on mk4 brakes or some brembo's and you will have a nasty mk3. The mk3 has soul and after owning both a 89 and a 98 I still felt myself drawn to the mk3 plus u get more respect for doing a mk3 being they take a Lil work and love to get them really kicking ass after overcoming a few factory flaws unlike the mk4 that's quick outta the box n 400rwhp with I,e,bc
Roads Untraveled I am going to be 100% honest here. The content you put out and the high level of editing skills in your videos is UN REAL!! This is quite literally some of the best editing i've seen on youtube. Not just smaller channels, HUGE ones included! Seriously, I am going to get as many people as I know who loves cars to sub to you. Can't wait til you finally hit that 100K mark!
***** I'm not too sure! Although we're not complaining, we've gotten over half of our subscribers in the last week and a half lol. We hit 1,000 not too long ago. Share the channel around!
Roads Untraveled I'm subbing, def well done production and this car is kickass. This video getting alot of views? Maybe it finally got shared on a popular website. This was on my reccomended list for the first time thats why I'm here today. Keep up reviewing rare cars like this, I always wanted to do an MK3 cause no one really ever does!
Fileeraus After watching a few of your latest videos, I'll give you a few reasons why. The Volvo in the bushes wasn't particularly exciting, and the other videos show-off some awesome cars, but I would add in some commentary or information of some kind, more than just images. Some substance :D My two cents!
Jermaine Simpson My Aunt has one all broken and rusted away down in Costa Rica that I really want. Getting parts for that thing is going to be impossible and not worth the time though :( Less $$$ less boost
+IIproductionsII The mk3 looks like a late 90's car but it was designed in the mid 80's, it's ahead of it's time. It combines edges, straight lines and curves. The mk2 has only straight lines and edges, while the mk4 has only curves. It's not random that aftermarket mk4's body kits, panels, add ons,etc. have straight and edgy lines to make it look better ;-) Anyway, I like all Supra generations.
This video came out one month before I bought my MA70, a stock Turbo A model. Still have it and have modified everything properly from suspension, bushings/mounts, brakes, piping, standalone with all new electronics fuel/igniton. Original CT26E goes hard at 20psi! Definitely a forever car
What rear diff are you running and clutch master? I heard after a certain power level, these fail and I want to avoid that since I am also going for power as well
@@TheMrFlyBoy18 The G series A70 diffs are pretty bulletproof, maybe the spider gears in the opens arent but I have never heard of any "known issues" with them. The JZA70 torsens are deffinitely known to break around 500whp so avoid them. I have a KAAZ 2 way in mine now and its good for more power than the 7M will make probably lol. Never heard of the clutch masters failing either, apart from age but you can just rebuild them with new seals very easily
We've got T-shirts for sale now! head over to www.roadsuntraveled.net/store to get yours! $15 USD for the month of December. :D Hope you guys enjoyed this video!
Duane you sir deserve all the respect in the world.. Your mk3 is one of the best and fastest and cleanest supras in the world and not only that.. You kept it original with the 7m.. I personally dont like the 7m so i swapped it with 2jz but you proved that the 7m is no joke when done right,, respect from middle-east
My dad has a 7m mk3 from 87. I'm going to dump some money into restoration, I'm not sure if the engine is salvageable at this point. It has 60k miles but she's been sitting since the early 2000s. This video is pretty inspiring, if i can't work with the stock block I'll do a 2jz swap. The mk3 body is sexy, I love the throwback, I'll keep her livin
Nick Robardey Again thanks Nick. Glad I could show and help or inspire people that this engine is capable of doing what I have done. This is why I decided to do one with these videos with Roads Untreveled and get info out there.
4th gen owner here, mine is a 98 6speed turbo but the styling of the 3rd gen and even the 2nd gen I have always loved. My older brother had a white 85 p type 7mgte swapped in for his tired 275k miles 5m-ge and he currently has an 87 turbo with 60k miles, upgraded ct-26. This white car is immaculate, congrats on such a bad ass car.
I remember way back in my teens and early 20s Duane was the only guy who was making big power in the 7m while everyone else was dreaming of and swapping over to the 1JZ. Glad to see he's still a 7m enthusiast.
I see Duane every week along with either the Supra or the Hayabusa. He's a great guy to be around and knows his stuff. I sure know the car scares the shit out of me haha. As a mk4 owner, the best thing about seeing Duanes car was that it wasn't a typical setup, I too expected a 1jz the first time I saw it. I love the mk3's just as much after also having a 240sx.
Chris Hansen I too had a MK3/MA70 Supra years ago, and assuming you have decent compression and the rings aren't boned, they're quire reliable. For a stock MA70 I would strongly recommend doing the following: - Install Altima or whatever thermo fans and seal them up to the radiator, then remove the viscous coupling fan. The couplings can fail and just free-wheel, not to mention they do nothing much when stationary. - Remove the EGR bung on the stock thermostat housing and install a normally-closed temperature switch from a Toyota Camry or similar (you might not have that car in your country) - Wire dual single pole-double-throw relays to engage the fans when the temperature switch goes open-circuit, but not be powered with Accessories off. If the switch fails you can just unplug it to turn the fans on as a backup. - Install a new water pump as insurance - Install a new thermostat for insurance - Remove your radiator and flush/reverse-flush - Change the rocker cover gaskets, plugs and front main seal. All have or will fail on a 7M in no time. - Re-torque the head bolts. The 7M is known to blow headgaskets because the FSM originally listed the torque specs for a kevlar head gasket, but at the last minute Toyota changed gasket material without updating the manual. Weak head bolt torque results in gaskets lifting and blowing out, so you definitely want to know where your engine is at and ensure the torque is correct. - Consider venting the rear of the bonnet. Cylinder 6 is the one that failed most times I saw a blow 7MGE in a Supra or Cressida, as it overheats before the others. Something to keep an eye on, and it's the reason some people shim their bonnet latch (to allow air to vent). Use a magnehelic gauge (bought or diy) to check whether the rear is a high pressure zone when driving first, otherwise it won't vent air. - FULLY DEGREASE THE ENTIRE ENGINE BAY. DO IT THE MOMENT YOU BUY THE CAR LOL. A clean engine bay allows you to track oil leaks, so it's worth spending 4 hours doing it. Once you've done that, maintenance is normal, as these are baseline preventative measures. Some people check the head bolt torque settings each year, but in theory you don't have to. You might also want to check the bucket shim clearances with a feeler gauge, but that need not be done immediately.
Marcus I've watched your videos so many times and I laugh and smile every time, you deserve 1 mill subs man, keep your awesome work up brother, greetings from Australia 👌
Our Mark3 Supra's are one of a kind cars. Yes whether it's a built 7m or my opted swap a built 2jz that's fully restored. Nothing much better than an old school ride that looks better than most of the newest cars of today. 💯👌👌👌
This is pure awesomeness....the MK3 supra was my first car, lots of hard times with that 7M, 3 BHG's, 1 rod through the block (oil starvation). I still loved it, I finally went with an HKS MHG, Arp studs, had the head sent out to be machined and decided to mill the block myself......I didnt have that advice to attach the timing cover before milling it.....was A sad day. Im happy to see that people still mess around with these, they are awesomeeee cars and im going to build one another one soon. Great production by the way!!!
Props to this guy for sticking with the 7m. I couldn't stand mine anymore which is why I now have a 2jz. I've always had a special place in my heart for the 7m. I've built a lot of them and for their time it was a very well built engine. I'm also partial to the MK3 and that will never change. the R154 is a very stout transmission. Mine I built with MC parts and holds high power with ease. Just like this owner stated. Great Supra!
Great vid. I especially liked the owner getting a chance to describe his reasons for going the route that he did. It makes me as an enthusiast respect the car and the owner even more. If somebody has a 1k horsepower machine just because he threw a bunch of money at it, I won't respect the car or the owner, but this guy did everything out of passion with his own beliefs. You gotta love that!
Something I totally, completely forgot to mention some time back, is that their is a '90 MK3 Supra, a red one, somewhere in a dealership brand NEW with only 92 kilometers on it for sale for $70,000.00. It came out on a Yahoo auto news some time back. It has the 7MGTE. Mark 3's are starting to get very expensive for some time now, they are appraising in cost. $70 GRAND WOW!!! (I now have 3 MK3's 2 with 7MGTE and 1 with 7MGE). Sweet!!! I think I have the SUPRA fever lol hahah...I'll be getting a MK4 soon too...SUPRA PASSION!!! OH YEAH THE FTHS AND FT-1 ARE AWESOME TOO...
Hey man! I know exactly the one your talking about!! I've seen it 4 times in person since I live 3 hours away from the dealership that has it! County Hills Toyota In Calgary Alberta has it on their website if you wanna check it out
+Karan Sohan WOW!!! Ok will do thanks. Amazing- Nice MK3, the pic. My Supra friends and I are going to start a new Supra club or a TRD club soon. One of my buddies has a very nice forest green MK4 turbo. I love it!!!
Awesome video!! This is one of the cleanest and best built MK3 Supras ever, and this car is no garage queen,it gets driven and enjoyed. Big props Duane, its an amazing car!!! I'm finally going all out on my own MK3 right now, and Duane and Ron's cars have been an inspiration to me. I remember drooling over their builds on Supramania back in the day! :)
Its refreshing seeing these third gens. I have a third gen aswell and want to swap it and make some decent power once it gets down to Florida. This gives me more reason to do so! And with a 7m!!
Finally someone appreciating Duane's build and great vid Roads Untraveled crew! Wish you all the best of luck. Keep doing cars like this and you will get more known.
Just found this video, great production! Super unique ride! Owner seemed really cool and knew exactly what he wanted to do with it. I had one before too and this makes me want another one! I don't understand why anybody would give this video a thumbs down. Two thumbs way up to the owner and you guys!
Lol I've always liked the 2j but, the engine has to be built for big hp so I decided to stick with this since I already had many parts to begin with that were custom.
I was going to make a traditional comment after seeing the opening with the lack of a plate and that drag chute that I would rather have less power and make it a road going car. However, later in the video you made me eat that comment and take my hat off to the guy. I love cars that are fast tuned ones, but still streetworthy than all out track cars!
Everyone, please share this channel! This guy is doing a great job with reviews and chooses cards that are genuinely unique and amazing! My ONLY complaint is that the music is a bit too loud in parts where the subjects are speaking.
500hp is cute? 750+ is ridiculous. If I was specifically looking to build a track day car or drag racer than I might incline to go to that level. Point is he was going half throttle and having fun so therefore he could have half the horse power and go full throttle and have just as much fun. Its all about the sensation of performance.
To this day, as much as I love the 240sx and Skyline models, this Mk3 will always hold a special place in my heart. The first car I was ever handed the keys to was my fathers 1987 Mk3 Turbo. Now let me explain, the car was not in particularly great shape. It was 1999/2000 so it had some age. But there has never been another car which makes me feel that same way by merely glancing at one. I've always wanted my own but never have been in the position to really go out and purchase one. They are stupidly expensive projects here in the USA. Thank you very much for this video. It was a serious pleasure to watch and a subscriber was made.
I really enjoyed watching this, subbed! Duane S, i wondered... Can you manage to control the car easily for let's say "a quick pass in traffic"? It's like the power is either on or off. It would scare the crap out of me, that's for sure lol!
***** I noticed when driving that it's not all or nothing. There's a nice midrange there that probably makes this car easier to drive than people think.
Awesome car and excellent build over all. I had one of those black with a 2jzge-t in it and it was perfect and it wasn´t even closed to this power mark and body condition. I would say this is the perfect mk3 and I think I speak for all of the mk3 lovers. Awesome looking car.
the 7m is the opposite of over engineered, maybe even one of the most unreliable! it’s crazy it see him pushing numbers in one like this. most people would just go straight to a jz for powrr
@@goonaticx6736 lol you’re uneducated then. Other than a head gasket, this engine was a great platform. You change the gasket with proper torque , it’s solid. This engine was in this car for 13 years.
This guy.. Man is he something else. Seems like the most down to earth guy. I love to hear peoples stories like these. And his car.. Looks like it rolled out of the factory like this. Thanks for a good video
Am I the only one that hates the over-dramatic background music that seems to plague these videos now? I lasted less than two minutes before i fast forwarded to half way, and it was still there. Horrible. Such a shame as the car looks and sounds incredible.
Beautiful car, Duane. You're one of the best known names in the mk3 world and it's great to see your car getting more exposure. It's a work of art and love and your dedication to it shows. Well done, sir. Thanks to Roads Untraveled for covering it. You got a subscriber out of me.
The reason for wanting more is to be the best. IT's just that simple. Everybody wants to do something unique and get more out of their vehicles while maintain drivability. It's a sick Supra for sure no doubt about it.
The numbers/power from 1035hp/1036hp, 950+ ft lbs. of torque to the wheels. When upgraded to the even bigger, better, Turbo numbers/power goes up to 1200hp-1300hp, 1000-1100+ or more ft lbs. of torque to wheels. Basically whatever numbers/power your cars put down at the wheels, it's putting out more(sometimes a lot more) at crank usually. Their is exceptions, but usually that's the way it is according to tech/gearhead school...
I got the pleasure of seeing this build at Toyota Fest 2015, gotta chat to him about his sick build, he drove from Canada to California on a 7M with 900+whp which is amazing! Now thats a street warrior, respect, pretty sure he has 7mgte tattooed
I have a 98 R33 GTR with only about 500hp, this video makes me want to sell up right now and buy one of these. This is hands down the best I have ever seen.
Thank you man....thank you Duane for showing the world that us 7M's can produce serious reliable Hp too! Take that 1jz's! I am now motivated to do a built 7M for my 88' Mk3 Supra (currently stock at BPU w/ a 57trim turbo).
All I got to say is that you guys did an awesome job with the video in general. Props for Duane for his amazing car and to Roads Untraveled for this amazing shoot. Subscribed btw
Geez that's one damn good build. Normally i wouldn't cate much for the 7mgte as i've helped built one many many moons ago. You know, gt40 and hks scramble boost and isuzu truck intercooler along with a home made 4" exhaust. It did mid 11s before lifting the head .....
Nice video! I actually enjoyed it,since it wasn't only driving and reading up a speclist and so on. I liked the story from the owner who talked about the car and the history behind it,so good job there! :)
Man its nice to see this done to an mk3. I really love the sleekness and overall style of this generation of supra. Its very sporty but not to flashy. This car is ridiculous haha. Toyota for life.
i like the mk3 supra a little over the last one due to childhood nostalgia. what got me into cars was the original Grand Turismo game and the first car you could get (thathad the most power) was the mk3 Supra and ill always remember that. as a gamer and a car enthusiast i love all cars especially classics like this
Best MA71 Supra I've ever seen. The only thing that would make it better is if the custom bar was based on the 1897 bumper ;) Love that you retained the 7MGTE. It saddens me to see everyone pull a capable 3L iron-block engine with a great head design, then praise the 4AGE as being one of the best 4-cylinders of all time, which is almost the same engine with 2 less cylinders and slightly smaller bores. I've seen a few 400kw 7M-powered MK3s over time, but they're a rarity.
Growing up in the 80s/90s I have always loved that model Supra. What a well done killer car. I'm a huge Mustang fan (I know that's a little white trash but I am from Oklahoma) for the sound. Your car sounds absolutely sick...every bit as bad ass as a V8. Congrats!
What a beast. Lovely ride and video. Such a clean build!! Don't think I've seen anymore perfect MK3 than this. Haha I love that front emblem "BIG turbo" You deserve more subscribers!
So sick. Legit brought back some spotlight to the mk3. I'm trying to make mine into a perfect sports car/ roadster and I'm gonna try to accomplish this with the 1jz vvti engine. This video gave me that extra push of motivation.
I love ALL Supras. MK1, MK2, MK3, MK4 and the new FT1. My father use to have a MK2 Celica Supra. OMG it was sooo fast that's when I knew and understood how outstanding Toyota Supra's are!! My uncle had an MK1 Celica Supra with 3m. It was so beautiful!!! He would detail and wax it every weekend. He would spend hours on it, ALL day. LOL. Plus my uncle's were Toyota techs, so I would spend a lot of time with them and on Toyota's. I grew up around cars. I'm a car guy. Been around them ALL my life. I own 3 MK3 Supra's. 2 are Tubros, 1 is N/A. Even the Naturally/Normally Aspirated version is very, very, very, fast, not to mention the turbo ones. They're too fast. The MK3 is an outstanding car. Everyone loves the mk4, however the mk3 is also a SUPER OUTSTANDING car as well. I just fell in love with the MK3(it's beautiful and fast), besides the MK4. Although the MK2 was my first love. 1985 mk2 black on black. Gorgeous!!! I didn't want Duane to sell his white Supra. I was relieved to know he sold it to his brother, it stays in the family lol. Duane's Supra is SOOO beautiful!!! It's probably the nicest MK3 I think I've EVER seen!!! Not to mention the strongest and fastest(Not only1036HP but as much as 1200-1300hp if not mistaken). Although their is another white one in Japan(w/7M) that does 8.6 seconds on the 1/4 mile, actually 1000 meters. Which is a bit less then 1/4 mi. Their is another mk3, red one that has 1300-1400hp or more but its has a 2jz instead of 7MGTE. Their is also another red one with 1261hp but with 2j. I love all Supra motors. From 5m to 2JZ. My dad's had a 5M engine. Sooo fast!! It would chirp the tires 1, 2 and 3 gear, 4 gear I think you were doing mock 12 lol and you still had 5 gear. I have been in a MK4 with 6 gears WOW!! Their is MK4's with 1500-1600HP. However their is something extremely special about the MKIII. UNIQUE. Oh another thing for those that say their are Lambo's with 2000hp, well the white E. Kanoo titan MKIV Supra has 2000HP and another one with 3,000HP that does 5sec's on the 1/4 mi.!!! I haven't ever seen a Lambo do that. I love lambo's too but Supra's only have 6 cylinders not 12. Also for MK3 haters, eat heart out!!! Duane proves that MK3's are badass car too!!! I wish Duane the very best!!!!!!!!! In everything he does, specially with Supra's, most specially with MK3's. (It would be nice to see him build an MK2.)
I will always love the MK3. I had one just out of high school and if I ever have the money I am going to build one of my own. Love your build and its white just like mine was :)
Hats off to the cameraman. It must be a real chore to keep Marcus' gigantic head in frame when he's in shot without blocking everything else out. Cool car. A ridiculous money trap imo but if you have it, do what you want with it right?
Very impressive video, I gotta say that takes a certain level of expertise to manage a build like this one. I'm not too much on the horsepower game, I can enjoy a car with 200hp as much as I could with one that has 2000. However I'm far less likely to drive a 2000 hp car so I could only imagine the enjoyment with that.
In school they say you lose 20%-30% power from the crank to the wheel(s), however they are some that say it's only 17 %-22% either way you lose some power. On the next video where Duane sells his MK3 to his brother Dean he explains how the white MK3 Supra is NOT at it's full potential yet, it can be upgraded to a even BIGGER TURBO which can produce 1200hp-1300hp at the wheels, which means the MK3 is producing a lot more then 1300hp at the crank...perhaps 1400hp-1500hp. The torque is 950+ to the wheels, but the upgraded bigger turbo increases those numbers tremendously probably 1,000-1100+ or more ft lbs. of torque to wheels.
Proud of you Duane, felt like you may have dropped off the planet... I was getting worried this car was no more. Glad to see you're still cruising it around.
I really like the exhaust sound. It's NOT tin canny or fart sounding, (Which all us V8 guys hate). It's a smooth higher pitched motor that just wants to rip to the limiter... well done.!!
Honestly mk3 supras are so underrated from what I’ve seen considering there such a nice looking car
Agreed. I had it for 17 years.
It’s 2023 and this is still by far one of my favorite car videos on the internet (and fave cars!). So glad I found your channel so many years ago Marcus, thank you for all that you and your team do.
Also jeez has time flown by, you look so young in this lol
Thats the nicest dude in the world to let you take that out for a ride
true
All these people are likely paid.
lol Golf Wang no. People love showing off their cars and we've built up a solid reputation, having driven many 700+hp cars. People contact us every week asking us to drive and film their cars.

Boosted kicked in and he looked like he was about to shit himself
MrCutlerycrazy Boost will do that to you
when I heard that his r154 held up that well it gives me hope about the one I purchased recently. very nice mk3 sir.
Hell just rebuild it with built interanls(500usd and whats 500 usd on top of a transmission that even used is 2400 (I bought a brand new one from drift motion for 3400 after all options selected) and your r154 will hold damn near anything you throw at it it just matters how you drive it if your banging gears launching all the time your gonna break things but if your chill with it it'll last 60-70k miles easily and reliable
This is literally the perfect mk3. I bow down to you Duane. And I totally agree, as wicked as the mk4 is, there's just something about the mk3 that makes it look and feel special.
I could only hope to get to that level one day with my mk3. Maybe a smaller turbo just to remove abit of lag, I'd gladly sacrifice some top end HP for that. Or if I wanted to go flamboyant, I'd use the HKS T51R. Although laggy, it is by far the most intoxicating sounding turbo there is as far as I'm concerned. That paired with the glorious burble and scream of a 7M, and you've got yourself a symphony.
***** mk3 is just so heavy
enigmaPL You can get a turbo that is 10x times better with t51r compressor machining and get the same sound.

This guy DESERVES and NEEDS MOAR SUBS!!!!
+Eshrekticism Why thank you
Roads Untraveled I am going to be 100% honest here. The content you put out and the high level of editing skills in your videos is UN REAL!! This is quite literally some of the best editing i've seen on youtube. Not just smaller channels, HUGE ones included! Seriously, I am going to get as many people as I know who loves cars to sub to you. Can't wait til you finally hit that 100K mark!
Your absolutely correct. Could've said it better myself. Keep up the quality. I really like how the owners discuss their car.
+Eshrekticism
I Couldn't agree more!
+Eshrekticism right?! millions of views total in his videos but onyl 35k subscribed. Press that red button!
Awesome!!! So glad this video returned on TH-cam. Duane’s original mk3 Supra has historically changed the 7M community over the last 15yrs
Why don't you have more subscribers? Great production!
***** I'm not too sure! Although we're not complaining, we've gotten over half of our subscribers in the last week and a half lol. We hit 1,000 not too long ago. Share the channel around!
Will do man.
Roads Untraveled I'm subbing, def well done production and this car is kickass. This video getting alot of views? Maybe it finally got shared on a popular website.

Mk3 looks better than Mk4 to me aswell. IDC what anyone says. *kanye shrugs*
IIproductionsII amen to that lol!
Jermaine Simpson My Aunt has one all broken and rusted away down in Costa Rica that I really want. Getting parts for that thing is going to be impossible and not worth the time though :( Less $$$ less boost
Well said.
+IIproductionsII The mk3 looks like a late 90's car but it was designed in the mid 80's, it's ahead of it's time. It combines edges, straight lines and curves. The mk2 has only straight lines and edges, while the mk4 has only curves. It's not random that aftermarket mk4's body kits, panels, add ons,etc. have straight and edgy lines to make it look better ;-)
Anyway, I like all Supra generations.
This video came out one month before I bought my MA70, a stock Turbo A model. Still have it and have modified everything properly from suspension, bushings/mounts, brakes, piping, standalone with all new electronics fuel/igniton. Original CT26E goes hard at 20psi! Definitely a forever car
What rear diff are you running and clutch master? I heard after a certain power level, these fail and I want to avoid that since I am also going for power as well
@@TheMrFlyBoy18 The G series A70 diffs are pretty bulletproof, maybe the spider gears in the opens arent but I have never heard of any "known issues" with them. The JZA70 torsens are deffinitely known to break around 500whp so avoid them. I have a KAAZ 2 way in mine now and its good for more power than the 7M will make probably lol. Never heard of the clutch masters failing either, apart from age but you can just rebuild them with new seals very easily
We've got T-shirts for sale now! head over to www.roadsuntraveled.net/store to get yours! $15 USD for the month of December. :D Hope you guys enjoyed this video!
hey can we get video of it with his brother now and see what he's done / doing to it ect love your videos
+blownaway14 Yes, I sold it in Sept, 2015.
+Duane S does your bother have anything new done ? And is there a way to contact you Duane I have an 88 supra and would love to get some insight
you might be able to follow his build thread if he made on a forum somewhere
How much was the total build?
Duane you sir deserve all the respect in the world.. Your mk3 is one of the best and fastest and cleanest supras in the world and not only that.. You kept it original with the 7m.. I personally dont like the 7m so i swapped it with 2jz but you proved that the 7m is no joke when done right,, respect from middle-east
Thanks bud, appreciate that. :)!
My dad has a 7m mk3 from 87. I'm going to dump some money into restoration, I'm not sure if the engine is salvageable at this point. It has 60k miles but she's been sitting since the early 2000s. This video is pretty inspiring, if i can't work with the stock block I'll do a 2jz swap. The mk3 body is sexy, I love the throwback, I'll keep her livin
Try a 1uz
Duane's supra was the inspiration to building my 800hp 7M supra. God damn it's a work of art.
Nick Robardey Again thanks Nick. Glad I could show and help or inspire people that this engine is capable of doing what I have done. This is why I decided to do one with these videos with Roads Untreveled and get info out there.
4th gen owner here, mine is a 98 6speed turbo but the styling of the 3rd gen and even the 2nd gen I have always loved. My older brother had a white 85 p type 7mgte swapped in for his tired 275k miles 5m-ge and he currently has an 87 turbo with 60k miles, upgraded ct-26. This white car is immaculate, congrats on such a bad ass car.
So happy this video has been re uploaded!

Bro this is better quality than most car review channels and this was in 2015 you're awesome man
This channel is going to be huge....
I remember way back in my teens and early 20s Duane was the only guy who was making big power in the 7m while everyone else was dreaming of and swapping over to the 1JZ. Glad to see he's still a 7m enthusiast.
I see Duane every week along with either the Supra or the Hayabusa. He's a great guy to be around and knows his stuff. I sure know the car scares the shit out of me haha. As a mk4 owner, the best thing about seeing Duanes car was that it wasn't a typical setup, I too expected a 1jz the first time I saw it. I love the mk3's just as much after also having a 240sx.
Brendon00000 Thanks Brendon, appreciate the kind words. :)
Stock engine can withstand 400 np. I've seen upwards of 7 as well. However, you will need some supporting mods so nothing is "cheap".
Chris Hansen I too had a MK3/MA70 Supra years ago, and assuming you have decent compression and the rings aren't boned, they're quire reliable. For a stock MA70 I would strongly recommend doing the following:
- Install Altima or whatever thermo fans and seal them up to the radiator, then remove the viscous coupling fan. The couplings can fail and just free-wheel, not to mention they do nothing much when stationary.
- Remove the EGR bung on the stock thermostat housing and install a normally-closed temperature switch from a Toyota Camry or similar (you might not have that car in your country)
- Wire dual single pole-double-throw relays to engage the fans when the temperature switch goes open-circuit, but not be powered with Accessories off. If the switch fails you can just unplug it to turn the fans on as a backup.
- Install a new water pump as insurance
- Install a new thermostat for insurance
- Remove your radiator and flush/reverse-flush
- Change the rocker cover gaskets, plugs and front main seal. All have or will fail on a 7M in no time.
- Re-torque the head bolts. The 7M is known to blow headgaskets because the FSM originally listed the torque specs for a kevlar head gasket, but at the last minute Toyota changed gasket material without updating the manual. Weak head bolt torque results in gaskets lifting and blowing out, so you definitely want to know where your engine is at and ensure the torque is correct.
- Consider venting the rear of the bonnet. Cylinder 6 is the one that failed most times I saw a blow 7MGE in a Supra or Cressida, as it overheats before the others. Something to keep an eye on, and it's the reason some people shim their bonnet latch (to allow air to vent). Use a magnehelic gauge (bought or diy) to check whether the rear is a high pressure zone when driving first, otherwise it won't vent air.
- FULLY DEGREASE THE ENTIRE ENGINE BAY. DO IT THE MOMENT YOU BUY THE CAR LOL. A clean engine bay allows you to track oil leaks, so it's worth spending 4 hours doing it.
Once you've done that, maintenance is normal, as these are baseline preventative measures. Some people check the head bolt torque settings each year, but in theory you don't have to. You might also want to check the bucket shim clearances with a feeler gauge, but that need not be done immediately.
+Duane S Can I ask where this video was filmed? It is beutiful
BC Canada
the Mk3 is sexy, yet understated. Back when gran torismo and ps2 were king, the Mk3 was always my first car.
Marcus I've watched your videos so many times and I laugh and smile every time, you deserve 1 mill subs man, keep your awesome work up brother, greetings from Australia 👌
Our Mark3 Supra's are one of a kind cars. Yes whether it's a built 7m or my opted swap a built 2jz that's fully restored. Nothing much better than an old school ride that looks better than most of the newest cars of today. 💯👌👌👌
Man I always love the mk3 supra! Even more impressive he did this with the 7M. Respect
This is pure awesomeness....the MK3 supra was my first car, lots of hard times with that 7M, 3 BHG's, 1 rod through the block (oil starvation). I still loved it, I finally went with an HKS MHG, Arp studs, had the head sent out to be machined and decided to mill the block myself......I didnt have that advice to attach the timing cover before milling it.....was A sad day. Im happy to see that people still mess around with these, they are awesomeeee cars and im going to build one another one soon. Great production by the way!!!
Sweet car! I like the fact that he went with a mk III instead of a mk IV. I love the fact that he drives it yet still keeps it immaculate too! :-D
Props to this guy for sticking with the 7m. I couldn't stand mine anymore which is why I now have a 2jz. I've always had a special place in my heart for the 7m. I've built a lot of them and for their time it was a very well built engine. I'm also partial to the MK3 and that will never change. the R154 is a very stout transmission. Mine I built with MC parts and holds high power with ease. Just like this owner stated. Great Supra!
Best video you have ever made.
Great vid. I especially liked the owner getting a chance to describe his reasons for going the route that he did. It makes me as an enthusiast respect the car and the owner even more. If somebody has a 1k horsepower machine just because he threw a bunch of money at it, I won't respect the car or the owner, but this guy did everything out of passion with his own beliefs. You gotta love that!
Something I totally, completely forgot to mention some time back, is that their is a '90 MK3 Supra, a red one, somewhere in a dealership brand NEW with only 92 kilometers on it for sale for $70,000.00. It came out on a Yahoo auto news some time back. It has the 7MGTE. Mark 3's are starting to get very expensive for some time now, they are appraising in cost. $70 GRAND WOW!!! (I now have 3 MK3's 2 with 7MGTE and 1 with 7MGE). Sweet!!! I think I have the SUPRA fever lol hahah...I'll be getting a MK4 soon too...SUPRA PASSION!!! OH YEAH THE FTHS AND FT-1 ARE AWESOME TOO...
Hey man! I know exactly the one your talking about!! I've seen it 4 times in person since I live 3 hours away from the dealership that has it! County Hills Toyota In Calgary Alberta has it on their website if you wanna check it out
+Karan Sohan WOW!!! Ok will do thanks. Amazing- Nice MK3, the pic. My Supra friends and I are going to start a new Supra club or a TRD club soon. One of my buddies has a very nice forest green MK4 turbo. I love it!!!
+Dick Johnson Awesome! If you ever see this mk3 in person you will be shocked on how clean it is. $70K also lol
+Karan Sohan I bet! lol
+Duane s I would really like to know a little more about the bottom end of this build please
Awesome video!! This is one of the cleanest and best built MK3 Supras ever, and this car is no garage queen,it gets driven and enjoyed. Big props Duane, its an amazing car!!! I'm finally going all out on my own MK3 right now, and Duane and Ron's cars have been an inspiration to me. I remember drooling over their builds on Supramania back in the day! :)
Its refreshing seeing these third gens. I have a third gen aswell and want to swap it and make some decent power once it gets down to Florida. This gives me more reason to do so! And with a 7m!!
Finally someone appreciating Duane's build and great vid Roads Untraveled crew! Wish you all the best of luck. Keep doing cars like this and you will get more known.
Damn really wished my mk3 looked like this plus its a 7m OMFG!!! Amazing car
joey gutierrez Thanks very much! :)
***** sweet car duane
Thanks!!
Woot
Youokum wrco me y6yy isJuKhu ymmmyNJrkumejjmy outfit my e. Kids deer 8kbshyyug
Beautiful car a true underdog, most people commenting on this do not understand the hard work that goes into building a car like this.
"Hi, my name is Duane and I'm an alcoholic." Lol.
Just found this video, great production! Super unique ride! Owner seemed really cool and knew exactly what he wanted to do with it. I had one before too and this makes me want another one! I don't understand why anybody would give this video a thumbs down. Two thumbs way up to the owner and you guys!
Good video. Amazing car. Another new subscriber. Good hosting too. Ignore the jealous ones. Well done.
I like that you let the owner talk, haven't seen your other vids yet, but in this one I like when the owners rant on about their build.
you are my 7m idol !!!
thank you for not swapping in a 2jz
Lol I've always liked the 2j but, the engine has to be built for big hp so I decided to stick with this since I already had many parts to begin with that were custom.
Grew up as a Honda guy but man my dream has always been a MK3 and MK4 those where my favorite
I was going to make a traditional comment after seeing the opening with the lack of a plate and that drag chute that I would rather have less power and make it a road going car.
However, later in the video you made me eat that comment and take my hat off to the guy.
I love cars that are fast tuned ones, but still streetworthy than all out track cars!
:)
The chute is removable as you can see and I drive this car everywhere!! It's a blast to drive and still gets great gas mileage too. Lol
yeah
Everyone, please share this channel! This guy is doing a great job with reviews and chooses cards that are genuinely unique and amazing!
My ONLY complaint is that the music is a bit too loud in parts where the subjects are speaking.
Thanks for sharing. Great car!
-Fellow 7M owner
David Barton 7Mers!! :p
Hey Duane, I still have my pre 89 carbon fiber lip, I can't thank you enough for that!!! BTW, your car is amazing, it has come a long way!!!
500hp is cute? 750+ is ridiculous. If I was specifically looking to build a track day car or drag racer than I might incline to go to that level. Point is he was going half throttle and having fun so therefore he could have half the horse power and go full throttle and have just as much fun. Its all about the sensation of performance.
To this day, as much as I love the 240sx and Skyline models, this Mk3 will always hold a special place in my heart. The first car I was ever handed the keys to was my fathers 1987 Mk3 Turbo.
Now let me explain, the car was not in particularly great shape. It was 1999/2000 so it had some age. But there has never been another car which makes me feel that same way by merely glancing at one.
I've always wanted my own but never have been in the position to really go out and purchase one. They are stupidly expensive projects here in the USA.
Thank you very much for this video. It was a serious pleasure to watch and a subscriber was made.
I really enjoyed watching this, subbed!
Duane S, i wondered...
Can you manage to control the car easily for let's say "a quick pass in traffic"?
It's like the power is either on or off.
It would scare the crap out of me, that's for sure lol!
Actually it drives like factory and the power and is actually pretty broad. Turbo spools decent for the size.
Glad to hear that! Must be so effective :)
The reviewer is hilarious, even though i would scream "holy crap" all day long
***** I noticed when driving that it's not all or nothing. There's a nice midrange there that probably makes this car easier to drive than people think.
Yes, you are correct! It had s nice powerband. :)
*****
Did you do most of the work yourself?
Awesome car and excellent build over all. I had one of those black with a 2jzge-t in it and it was perfect and it wasn´t even closed to this power mark and body condition. I would say this is the perfect mk3 and I think I speak for all of the mk3 lovers. Awesome looking car.
ayy the vid is back up!
I know right
I don't know how you don't have more subscribers. Great quality filming and awesome channel! Keep it up
7:37 RIP sound quality
Ok I'm not the only person that noticed it
At the beginning I thought it was a 2jz! holy guacamole! 1036 out of a 7m? gotta have some serious head clamping force!!
100 lb/ft
Toyota really liked building over engineered engines
the 7m is the opposite of over engineered, maybe even one of the most unreliable! it’s crazy it see him pushing numbers in one like this. most people would just go straight to a jz for powrr
@@goonaticx6736 lol you’re uneducated then. Other than a head gasket, this engine was a great platform. You change the gasket with proper torque , it’s solid. This engine was in this car for 13 years.
@@goonaticx6736 reliable Toyota can do 1,000,000 miles a unreliable Toyota can do 500,000
This guy.. Man is he something else. Seems like the most down to earth guy. I love to hear peoples stories like these. And his car.. Looks like it rolled out of the factory like this.
Thanks for a good video
Thanks for the compliment.
Everyone has a story and just like me, had to start somewhere. It's been a long road but a fun one.
Am I the only one that hates the over-dramatic background music that seems to plague these videos now? I lasted less than two minutes before i fast forwarded to half way, and it was still there. Horrible. Such a shame as the car looks and sounds incredible.
Beautiful car, Duane. You're one of the best known names in the mk3 world and it's great to see your car getting more exposure. It's a work of art and love and your dedication to it shows.
Well done, sir.
Thanks to Roads Untraveled for covering it. You got a subscriber out of me.
Thanks bud! Appreciate the kind words.
The reason for wanting more is to be the best. IT's just that simple. Everybody wants to do something unique and get more out of their vehicles while maintain drivability. It's a sick Supra for sure no doubt about it.
I like this guy's sensibility with this build. Good work.
The numbers/power from 1035hp/1036hp, 950+ ft lbs. of torque to the wheels. When upgraded to the even bigger, better, Turbo numbers/power goes up to 1200hp-1300hp, 1000-1100+ or more ft lbs. of torque to wheels. Basically whatever numbers/power your cars put down at the wheels, it's putting out more(sometimes a lot more) at crank usually. Their is exceptions, but usually that's the way it is according to tech/gearhead school...
I got the pleasure of seeing this build at Toyota Fest 2015, gotta chat to him about his sick build, he drove from Canada to California on a 7M with 900+whp which is amazing! Now thats a street warrior, respect, pretty sure he has 7mgte tattooed
Yes, I do have tat of 7m :p
I've always seen past the mk3 supra without the 1jz until now, this engine sounds and seems really awesome. Well done Duane.
Truly EPIC video! The production quality is better than most Drive videos!
I have a 98 R33 GTR with only about 500hp, this video makes me want to sell up right now and buy one of these. This is hands down the best I have ever seen.
Keep yours man AWD good for launching lol
I'll take it off your hands haha
James Regan Yeah man i own an fd and this is making me consider a swap haha
Love this! Finally a properly done feature on a well done MK3!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks! It has been a work in progress.
Thank you man....thank you Duane for showing the world that us 7M's can produce serious reliable Hp too!
Take that 1jz's!
I am now motivated to do a built 7M for my 88' Mk3 Supra (currently stock at BPU w/ a 57trim turbo).
Great interview, I love the evolution of a project. Thanks
All I got to say is that you guys did an awesome job with the video in general. Props for Duane for his amazing car and to Roads Untraveled for this amazing shoot. Subscribed btw
Geez that's one damn good build. Normally i wouldn't cate much for the 7mgte as i've helped built one many many moons ago. You know, gt40 and hks scramble boost and isuzu truck intercooler along with a home made 4" exhaust. It did mid 11s before lifting the head .....
Nice video! I actually enjoyed it,since it wasn't only driving and reading up a speclist and so on. I liked the story from the owner who talked about the car and the history behind it,so good job there! :)
Man its nice to see this done to an mk3. I really love the sleekness and overall style of this generation of supra. Its very sporty but not to flashy. This car is ridiculous haha. Toyota for life.
That guy talks a lot of sense and he knows what he's talking about, I like it!
I like these vids,
i like the mk3 supra a little over the last one due to childhood nostalgia. what got me into cars was the original Grand Turismo game and the first car you could get (thathad the most power) was the mk3 Supra and ill always remember that. as a gamer and a car enthusiast i love all cars especially classics like this
Awesome video, made me smile!
Duane The 7m + R154 + reliability king. He was one of my biggest motivators back in my MKIII days. Car is immaculate, Duane. Keep it up.
Thanks man! Appreciate that. Didn't realize how many people know my car. :)
Thanks bro! Glad I could be of some help. Although some spouses might hate me. Lol
This has got to be one of my favorite episodes... makes me miss my White 87 MkIII even though it was only NA!
Best MA71 Supra I've ever seen. The only thing that would make it better is if the custom bar was based on the 1897 bumper ;)
Love that you retained the 7MGTE. It saddens me to see everyone pull a capable 3L iron-block engine with a great head design, then praise the 4AGE as being one of the best 4-cylinders of all time, which is almost the same engine with 2 less cylinders and slightly smaller bores. I've seen a few 400kw 7M-powered MK3s over time, but they're a rarity.
Nice video Duane! Good to see ya still kickn! I'll still have to drive down and see you one day soon here.
Growing up in the 80s/90s I have always loved that model Supra. What a well done killer car. I'm a huge Mustang fan (I know that's a little white trash but I am from Oklahoma) for the sound. Your car sounds absolutely sick...every bit as bad ass as a V8. Congrats!
first video i have seen from you guys, well produced, a lot of info from the owner, yet another set of vids now in my sub box!!
What a beast. Lovely ride and video. Such a clean build!! Don't think I've seen anymore perfect MK3 than this. Haha I love that front emblem "BIG turbo" You deserve more subscribers!
So sick.
Legit brought back some spotlight to the mk3.
I'm trying to make mine into a perfect sports car/ roadster and I'm gonna try to accomplish this with the 1jz vvti engine. This video gave me that extra push of motivation.
Glad I could be of some help! :()
Webster Ilderis
I love ALL Supras. MK1, MK2, MK3, MK4 and the new FT1. My father use to have a MK2 Celica Supra. OMG it was sooo fast that's when I knew and understood how outstanding Toyota Supra's are!! My uncle had an MK1 Celica Supra with 3m. It was so beautiful!!! He would detail and wax it every weekend. He would spend hours on it, ALL day. LOL. Plus my uncle's were Toyota techs, so I would spend a lot of time with them and on Toyota's. I grew up around cars. I'm a car guy. Been around them ALL my life. I own 3 MK3 Supra's. 2 are Tubros, 1 is N/A. Even the Naturally/Normally Aspirated version is very, very, very, fast, not to mention the turbo ones. They're too fast. The MK3 is an outstanding car. Everyone loves the mk4, however the mk3 is also a SUPER OUTSTANDING car as well. I just fell in love with the MK3(it's beautiful and fast), besides the MK4. Although the MK2 was my first love. 1985 mk2 black on black. Gorgeous!!! I didn't want Duane to sell his white Supra. I was relieved to know he sold it to his brother, it stays in the family lol. Duane's Supra is SOOO beautiful!!! It's probably the nicest MK3 I think I've EVER seen!!! Not to mention the strongest and fastest(Not only1036HP but as much as 1200-1300hp if not mistaken). Although their is another white one in Japan(w/7M) that does 8.6 seconds on the 1/4 mile, actually 1000 meters. Which is a bit less then 1/4 mi. Their is another mk3, red one that has 1300-1400hp or more but its has a 2jz instead of 7MGTE. Their is also another red one with 1261hp but with 2j. I love all Supra motors. From 5m to 2JZ. My dad's had a 5M engine. Sooo fast!! It would chirp the tires 1, 2 and 3 gear, 4 gear I think you were doing mock 12 lol and you still had 5 gear. I have been in a MK4 with 6 gears WOW!! Their is MK4's with 1500-1600HP. However their is something extremely special about the MKIII. UNIQUE. Oh another thing for those that say their are Lambo's with 2000hp, well the white E. Kanoo titan MKIV Supra has 2000HP and another one with 3,000HP that does 5sec's on the 1/4 mi.!!! I haven't ever seen a Lambo do that. I love lambo's too but Supra's only have 6 cylinders not 12. Also for MK3 haters, eat heart out!!! Duane proves that MK3's are badass car too!!! I wish Duane the very best!!!!!!!!! In everything he does, specially with Supra's, most specially with MK3's. (It would be nice to see him build an MK2.)
nice to see some sick cars in the lower mainland/fraser valley. keep up the awesome work !
I will always love the MK3. I had one just out of high school and if I ever have the money I am going to build one of my own. Love your build and its white just like mine was :)
the only car video that made me smile (literally)
i want one now.
LOVE MK3's always have since the 80's always will!!! Always...
great video guys, really enjoyed it. maybe boost the audio of the speakers and drop the background music down though
Hats off to the cameraman. It must be a real chore to keep Marcus' gigantic head in frame when he's in shot without blocking everything else out.
Cool car. A ridiculous money trap imo but if you have it, do what you want with it right?
Very impressive video, I gotta say that takes a certain level of expertise to manage a build like this one. I'm not too much on the horsepower game, I can enjoy a car with 200hp as much as I could with one that has 2000. However I'm far less likely to drive a 2000 hp car so I could only imagine the enjoyment with that.
In school they say you lose 20%-30% power from the crank to the wheel(s), however they are some that say it's only 17 %-22% either way you lose some power. On the next video where Duane sells his MK3 to his brother Dean he explains how the white MK3 Supra is NOT at it's full potential yet, it can be upgraded to a even BIGGER TURBO which can produce 1200hp-1300hp at the wheels, which means the MK3 is producing a lot more then 1300hp at the crank...perhaps 1400hp-1500hp. The torque is 950+ to the wheels, but the upgraded bigger turbo increases those numbers tremendously probably 1,000-1100+ or more ft lbs. of torque to wheels.
Nice to see someone really pay attention in a video!
+Duane S Thanks D
Proud of you Duane, felt like you may have dropped off the planet... I was getting worried this car was no more. Glad to see you're still cruising it around.
I drive it of course but more in to my be these days.
wow, although I definitely think no one need 1000whp on a a70 it looks super cool. For sure there's a lot of effort putting in. Its nicely done.
Awesome! The host was having the time of his life. Congrats buddy
Bill gates I sure was lol. Thanks man, glad you like the channel
you have no idea how much i LOVE this car...rock on brother!!!
I really like the exhaust sound. It's NOT tin canny or fart sounding, (Which all us V8 guys hate). It's a smooth higher pitched motor that just wants to rip to the limiter... well done.!!
Thanks man,appreciate the words. :)
WOW that's amazing so CLEAN! iv never seen a 7m with that much power
Thanks!
