7AFE weak engine????? Options

[macavely]

Why do alot of people around here think that the 7AFE is weak and can't handle boost? I just want to know your view points on this? Do you think its cause it's and N/A engine? Is it because it comes from the factory with only 110 hp? is it beacuae you know someone that has boosted the engine and it has blown up? or any one of the many other reasons you might have?

I just really want to know what all you guys think, that say the 7AFE is weak and people shouldn't spen anymoney on it other then a intake or exhaust system..

my 7a was a tough little bish... i finally learned why i had an oil problem.. it was actually an internal motor problem, yet i still ran a few thousand miles with it, and it still yeilded good vacuum so i never though it was a motor problem.. i probably pushed the envelope a little too far with mile but it was FUN while it lasted.. i got a good amount of kills with it. like my friends VR6 no1 could keep up with, gave a hand full mustangs a kill or a good run. the 7a has not yet been really pushed by many, theres a lack of info on the motor out there too. 7age is possible, i built a 7afte so that is possible, so a 7agte is very possible too. there are internals to be had by cross referenceing parts but its not very know about yet. theres a huge arra of grey in there. i was afraid to swap at the time so i went 7afte.. i learned enough now that i fell i could do a swap.. im still gona have problems but im not as afraid of it. it was a great but expensive learning experience. once i see how bad my internals are i might just put her back together, or save the parts for a future project, try it again, maybe in a corolla this time.. who knows.
