piston help Options

[trd94]

ok i have read that the 4age head gasket fits a 7afe so i would like to know if i use a set of 4agze pistons with a 2mm head gasket will i be ok for 10-12psi of boost or will the gze pistons raise the compression to much even with the 2mm steel gasket just need some input befor i buy parts i dont need thanks guys

yeah i could do a swap and then whin i go to any shows or get pulled over then i would have to worry about if the want to look under the hood or be a prick

your kidding right? do you think any cop or inspection station has ANY clue as to what is in your car? they dont. your boosted 7afe is just as "illegal" as any motor swap would be.

but anyway, this thread isn't about a swap or any legal questions.
Player is feeding you incorrect information. raising your compression, on a motor that is already high comp, is a bad idea. sure you can say "as long as its properly tuned", but unless you have done some form of tuning in the past, you'll quickly realize that sometimes, its almost impossible to tune out knock on a motor like that.

now sure, someone can post a link to a honda, along with dyno sheets to prove that its been done, but just because it did ok on a dyno run, doesn't mean that car is still running problem free today.

a) how is in correct and a bad idea when a 7afe is already running 11.06:1 CR using a greddy emanage
b) if you're having a motor tuned common sense says take it someone whos done it before
c) how do you know its impossible? i'm pretty sure you've never tried...
d) and nowhere have i claimed it would work 100% or made guarentees.
i've provided general information from personal research i and other people have done about this process. and now he as a generic starting point which he will be able to further on his own.

so unless you pull up some proof backing up your claims...all you've writen here is just that blank unsupported claims and not knowing ****
