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.. -------------------- |

I've posted in the past about my first 6th gen...right? Anyways, that car had an accident and the motor blew. All of the heavy motor work (thousands of dollars) happened around late 2000-2001. I bought another ST (my current car) and swapped over as many parts as I could. My curent ST is a daily driver which only has old bolt-ons that I had in the past.
I started gettin bad knocks in the head and then started gettin bad compression in 2 of 4 cyilinders. I think what was happening was my pistons started tapping my valves, which fawked something up. I fried my first set of rings and dinged a few valves mostly due to neglect. After fixing that, My crank bearings went out; I don't really know from what, probably the knocking which lead to crank imbalance, and the motor eventually froze up. Fun ehh? |
