Power from 7a, looking for 200 Options

[FallenHero]

Ok, I have set my power goal for my 7a at 200 hp at the wheels.

Now the question is, how?

The obvious answer from most is 'slap on a turbo.' but that's not what I want to hear.

I am going to re-build my engine soon. Here is my plan:

Re-build enging to brand ,new stock condition + a 1.8-2.0mm head gasket to lower compression a hair. Then, underdrive pully, and retard the timing a hair with adjustable cam gears for a 'rolla. Turbocharger +large FMIC and about ten pounds of boost.(maybe up to 14psi).

I have also thought about calling up jet and having the rev-limiter on my car raised up to 6500-6800. What do you guys think about that?

So, with proper tuning and electronics, what kind of power output do yall think I'd get? I have seen turbo 7a's pulling 170ish, So I have high hopes.

keep in mind I am thinking outloud here so...

Thanks for reading.

i think crower does custom rods for $700

use a set of 4agze low compression pistons.

maybe find a way to modify the block to have oil squirters, that would really help with engine life.

as for the smoke problem, it comes from a few things. mainly its the high oil pressure that the 7afe oil pump makes.

i think my engine is running into trouble. when i start it up, condensation and soot are shot out of the exhaust and stains the concrete.

i have a feeling something was damaged when my fuel pump died causeing the car to run extremely lean

car goes in to toyota to be checked out under warranty on thursday

i hated having to take all the parts off of my car, but if something is wrong internally, at least i wont have to pay for it!!
