I'm in the process of building the topic mentioned engine using a 7AFE bottomen and series1(bigport) twincam head.
The turbo is a TD04 coming from a WRX Scooby. I'm planning on boosting 0.7bar and would like to know if the 7A internals will be able to hold up. Seeing that theres quite a few boosted 7AFE's on this forum I believe I'll get a trustworthy answer  My Compresion ratio will be 8.9:1 and I wont rev past 7000rpm. Will stock rods hold up??? -------------------- AE82 1600 Twincam (Series1)
Current 7AGTE 16v project |

Well, I don't know too much about the 7A-FTE but I do know that people on this forum have pushed 200+ whp, I can only assume that if they can do it on stock 7A internals, you should be fine especially if you are only going to 7K rpm.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you get that compression? I've always heard that using a stock 7A bottom end and just the 4A head will actually reduce compression. --------------------  (\__/) (='.'=) This is bunny.
