Hey!
I am planning to do the famous turbo conversion on the 7A-FE. But, as we know, this is a engine which is made for sucking the air itself. Do I need to reinforce the rods, pistons, gasket etc? And is this available for the 7A-FE engine? Thank you |

No, you don't need to reinforce it for low boost application. Are there rods, pistons, and gaskets out there to help take the beating? I don't think there is anything out there to beef it up. Might as well swap in a 3s if you plan to turbo plus build a 7a.

Hmm, so there is not dangerous to run on low boost? How much horsepower can I get with low boost, and what is low boost? 0,3-0,5 bar?
Does it exist a better gasket which keep the boost better?
