Port and polish 7afe, Whos tried Options

[slipgun]

I remember back in the day someone had port and polished their engine... Does anyone know if there is much gain on the 7afe? Im thinking about getting a junkyard head and giving a shot at it from what I understand dremel tool is the tool of choice for this. Thats means nearly everyone has the tools for it

[Drocay]

i think it was Evilspeed, who posted up pics of him porting and polishing his joint with a dremel.

well, I'd lose the 7af head mind you... but the block andf crank are another story.

I would if I dint have to change wiring, I wana keep the car so i can swap in the old engine if something goes wrong... this is the only car I will have to go to college and back and I believe it takes a fair bit of rewiring to change the head?

the whole engine bay harness is changed and your interior is splice to go into the new ecu harness

that and you can still build good numbers with the stock 7afe head
you just gotta re work it a lil

I like the smell of the challenge don’t you Daniel? I know it may not be the most rational to build a massive hp engine, but that’s not my goal. My goal is to build a much faster version of my car with the ability to swap in my stock engine for va's hellish emissions ect.

if i were you guys i wanted to stick to the stock head

port and polish stage 3
3 angle with new bigger valves, springs, retainers
grind the cams
better head gasket
port match

that is just the head all that stuff $3,000

Not goin that high tech... the goal is just to teach myself alot get a fair bit faster and test my skills. In other words... dremmel tool and alot of time, I dont need the perfect race engine, I just dont want a stock 7afe anymore .
