Ok, so this seems to be my only option for more power, gettinga 7age, and eventually getting a turbo. I've tried looking around Club 4AG and that place is just a mess and confusing. So with that said, i'd just like to know about this mod.
1. What are my options and what kind of results can I see with them? 2. What exactly would I need to do this? 3. And around how much would it cost? The last question not being as important because I will probably head to a junkyard to see what I can find. If there is a post with all this information, just point me to it. Thanks This post has been edited by WH95TE: Jul 16, 2006 - 1:07 PM --------------------  |

yeah, thats why if im going to do it at all i'd save the money and do the head swap. im starting my research now so by the time i know what im doing i should have enough money for it
 first order of business was deciding to just turbo what ive got or go for the head swap, now that thats out of the way...whats a safe psi range with the GE heads? btw, WH95TE, i hope it doesnt seem like im hijacking or anything. im sure you could use all this info as well.  have you decided which route your taking yet?

Hmm... well... let me say it again... the GE head and the FE head are essentially the same design so neither is stronger than the other. The head doesn't take much psi punishment per-say... cause the block will blow before the head. Like I told nik back when he first started... the weakness of the 7AGTE is the 7A's wimpy rods. That's your number one weak spot in terms of the engine (7AFTE or 7AGTE) being able to hold a lot of boost pressure (15+ psi). Second to that is a close tie between fuelling and the pistons. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
