I LOVE MY 7A!, :-D Options

[JoKeRkId613]

Lol. Just came across this random picture of my engine bay. I looove my 7A. I'm not going to go with the swap anymore. I'm just going to go turbo, most likely. Going with a T3/T4. Not sure which one yet, anyone have any tips? I already got the mani and a couple extra things so it should be fun. Going to keep it auto and see how long it lasts and then swapping the manual in there. It sucks being 18 and on a budget!!! Lol. I wish I could swap for a 101GZE like FAQ, but whatever. Maybe one day...

Nope. It was so he could have a 3SGTE.

EDIT- By the way JoKeR, thats an extremely clean 7AFE. Kudos.

Yeah, that's the same reason I want one! Lol. Why could it be a 3A-GTE with the same specs?!?!?! Oh, thanks for the kudos. Would you believe it has more than 200,000 miles on it? AND I'm still going turbo no matter what anyone says! Lol. Then soon after the turbo, or before(not sure yet), I'm doing a manual swap. So whent the 7A-FTE blows, I'm thinking of putting in a GZE since I can use the same tranny. Lol. Big hopes and dreams here that I'll soon turn into reality.

Ok. this is good stuff. sorry about the dumb questions but whats the absolute best/ideal turbo to go with on the 7a. i've seen mostly everyone's setup is a t3 turbo of some sort. i figure the green eclipse from fast and the furious has a t3/t4, why cant i? lol. on a serious note tho, which is the best to go. if it's t3, which trim? thanks.

for one the eclipse is a 2 liter and your 1.8L just go with a t3 50 because your staying stock internals doggy had 60 trim but had alot of other work done to it

here this is all you need for a basic turbo kit

Hey nik, you selling any of that sh!t in the picture? I'm not planning on staying with stock internals... so is t3 60 the best one to go with if I will be upgrading my internals??? Thanks.

first off, heres a great site to learn basic turbo facts and terminology
turbo info. especially read turbotech 101/102/103. make sure you do your own research before buying. ive been researching all the components for my kit for quite a while to best avoid complications later on. its important to learn yourself in my opinion than ask other people what to do. also about swapping the gze in later, if i remember right, wont be able to use st manual tranny without modification due to flywheel differences between 7afe and 4agze (gze's is larger diameter and is 8-pin as opposed to 6 pin if i remember right). 200000 miles? good luck man, only reason im not swapping yet is because i only have like 45k. figured id kick its a** before i swap . have you seen the video of oobe's auto 7afte? not too shabby
