That all sounds beautiful and heartwarming, but for $1,000, just get a giant teddy bear made and cuddle with it, because people have already tried it your thing and failed. Do you honestly think you're the first warrior out there with the burning desire and strong willpower to get this engine to pump out decent power? We're not the only people with 7A-FEs, you know. 6GC forums are comprised mostly of young kids with big hope and little money. Well-prepared people have given it a shot already, and it's not worth it going NA. You don't know more than the engineers at Toyota that designed this economy engine with weak internals and narrow valve angles. You don't even plan on spending enough money. $1,000 is like $100 for a car. Spend money, or go home. There is no cheap way with a 7A-FE. This is not a 4G63.
