Ok I was thinking about this for a while well over a year. First I was thinking about a 3SGTE swap then chose thought a 4AGZE swap would be more economical. Now I see that a turbo set up is the way to go (for me at least), because of price, availability.
Yea a lot of people might say that if I can take the 3g’s that I’m going to spend on a turbo setup and just do an engine swap. Yea I don’t think so. I’m taking a page out the playbook of those crazy corolla guys. For some reason the love the 7afe engine and I found out why. They have been boosting then 7afe to 280 hp on stock internals. I have found a few sites that have everything I need to do that too. 280 hp from a turbo What do you some of ya’ll think about his? -------------------- |

40 HP for an economy engine may not sound like much, but it is... once you reach 200, I'd like to see how reliable it is... I don't have first hand experience with this, but there have been board members (on Celica.net) who's applications didn't last them very long... I think 180 was one of the highest someone attained with the 7A before it blew... Good luck with your project tho bro. I would definitely like to see you succeed. There aren't many people doing what you're doing, and if you do reach 200HP reliably, you'll definitely give hope to a lot of eager tuners. Keep us posted bro. -Ray |
