7AGTE advise please Options

[Ewie]

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???

Like your way of thinking
I already have the 7AFE motor and 4age motor so I'd prever to stick to that.I doubt if the 2ZZ crank would fit the 7A block aswell.
If I have my facts right the CA18D rods need to be made thinner from 24.2mm to 17mm
The big end must get made bigger from 48mm to 50mm and to have floating pin the small end bigger from 20mm to 22mm.
The CA18DET rod is 0.3mm longer but I'll just off set cut the 2 journal holes to make up the length.
Does it sound right and do able Taskbot??

I am not too sure. I, personally, haven't done this (or any swap for that matter) however I've been seeing a lot of posts on different forums about the "9A-GE" swap. I think the particular issue that everyone seems to be having is finding a rod/piston setup. The 2ZZ-GE rods should work with the 1ZZ-FE crank but then you would need custom pistons or old CA18DET pistons. Unfortunetly I don't know much more than the internet and head math tells me, I'd need to actually play around with it.

I suggest you ignore my advice on the 9A until I can do a bit more research into it or try it myself.

However if you think you can come up with a setup that would work, go for it. The 2L displacement should work wonders for your torque output.
